To think Nick Ross is having some kind of midlife crisis/nervous breakdown

After the deeply unpleasant article on rape,Mr Ross has decided to share that he would "probably watch child pornograhpy". That cannot be the admission of a man thinking clearly? Deeply disturbing.

I am amazed that no one close to Nick Ross an friend/family member or his agent hasn't said 'Nick, shut the fuck up... your career is pretty much toast after the rape comments and now you are talking yourself into a police investigation. '

I can only think he is doing a Kilroy and wants to become a UKIP MEP where they lap this racist and misogynistic shit up.

A couple of years ago I had to attend a professionals meeting where the police described the images one male had been caught with
As Num said upthread- I will never ever to be ableto get it out of my mind or unhear some of the phrases. It actually put me off sex for a long long time- and definitely made me much more cynical about these people who 'accidentally click on a link'.
And that's my job- I thought I had heard everything [sad}

I read that his wife helped start child line - surely she must think he's talking shit?

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/06/2013 17:41

I'd be leaving him if I were his wife.

Utter wanker.

And as somebody else pointed out - he also suggests that depending on your race you will be better at certain types of crime. I missed that when I read the article initially because I was so utterly stunned by the child porn comments.

I can't think of anything worse than being offered the chance to watch child abuse or even consider agreeing to the offer 'to see what the fuss is about'. The thought of it makes me feel sick and I pity the people who do have to watch it in order to stop it or prosecute it.

There's something seriously wrong with anyone who would watch it ''to see what the fuss was about" and something even more wrong with someone who would phrase it that way in the first place.

The fuss is about the abuse and rape of children ffs Hmm Why would you want to watch that to satisfy a curiosity?

Oh my god, Oxford Bags - your poor friend.

Apparently, the officers who work with these unthinkable images can only do it for a short time - a period of months, I think, because it makes such a mess of their minds.

Calling it a fuss - I think he's not well.

Bill Roache made these sorts of comments before he was arrested Hmm

Perhaps these weird ramblings are a form of confession.

He's insane. I read a detail about the tia sharpe case which has haunted me ever since. It was in a newspaper and I truly wish I hadn't read it. I can't imagine how disturbing it would be to come across this shit for real.

SauceForTheGander · 04/06/2013 10:04

Exactly what I thought Ruby . I cannot read stories about child abuse in the paper as I get so upset. I have to switch the NSPCC ad over. What kind of person is so casual about this.

I'm so sorry for those who have been so appallingly affected.

Tailtwister · 04/06/2013 10:42

Wow, that's a very strange thing to say. I don't know if he's lost the plot, but I would hope so if the alternative means he was serious.

Tailtwister · 04/06/2013 10:44

I feel very sorry for people who have to view these images as part of their work. It must be extremely disturbing and I imagine they stay with you for life. Not something I would want to see out of curiosity I must say.

Thisisaeuphemism · 04/06/2013 11:07

I think its a very dangerous thing to say too - he seems to be saying, well, everyone would look wouldn't they? - (which is exactly what a paedophile would try and say) and he seems to think its human nature - and therefore unstopeable - to want to see children abused.

I don't know if he still works for the BBC but if he does, he should be sacked.
