What happened with the VIP sex scandal?

I remember there being an alleged VIP grooming ring... what happened? From googling I can see some witnesses are being charged with making hoax claims. Was it all made up?

Is this the Kitty thing? Certainly don’t seem to be any prosecutions.

"From googling I can see some witnesses are being charged with making hoax claims."

Shhhhh. You can't say that in a post-#meeeeetoo world.

If any media reported on it they would be minimising the lived experiences of women etc.

Do we call sexual abuse ‘a sex scandal’ now?

googlegoggles · 05/06/2018 09:35

I called it a sex scandal as I couldn't see any prosecutions so unsure if it is child abuse or a hoax... obviously if it's genuine there'd be a better word but I can't see for sure

@WhyDidIEatThat

What sexual abuse? You mean the one where there have been arrests by those who made complaints? #meeeeetoo

pencilSharpenerer · 05/06/2018 09:59

of, not by

Do you mean the dolphin sq one? That got 'discredited' Hmm

No idea what the OP is about, just clicked on sex scandal which sounded juicy then read about grooming which sounds like alleged paedo stuff. Thought it was a weird turn of phrase.

Yes I meant the dolphin thing

Watch the Jeremy Thorpe scandal. That will tell you all you need to know.

God I'm even more confused...

It's a bitter lover?

All you need to know about how allegations against the great and good can be dealt with and frequently are. Catch the bbc4 follow up documentary for greater clarity.

googlegoggles · 05/06/2018 13:40

So it's all a cover up and probably did happen?

Or it's a fantasist and never happened?

Off to find the BBC4 thing

How confusing!
