Schofield saga-to think this is all very odd?

It’s very confusing.
Rumours have been circulating for three years, even I knew the rumours, how on earth did Holly and others not?
He says there was no injunction, so the boy could have spoken out at any time..so why is it all coming out now?? Why has Holly suddenly distanced herself, why have itv got rid of him now?
They've now said the boy was 15 when they met (sure was younger?) and nothing happened until he was older, nothing illegal but still massively wrong. But if there is nothing illegal and they all knew about it…why now?
Why has P.S been so willing to go along with it this week?

This feels like a cover up for something much much worse?

How did P.S have such power on the show with Martin F? What’s the connection?

Itv would say they asked them and investigated at the time though, wouldn’t they

Yeah I'm a bit confused by it all tbh. I thought it was widely known that he'd had an affair with an 18 year old, but it was all swept under the carpet and reframed as him being 'brave' to come out as being gay. But now it's being treated as huge news.
To be fair though I do think it's good that no one seems to have named the lad involved. Not sure if that's because of an injunction but I hope it stays that way.

It's all been said over and over again on the other threads, there is nothing new, it's the same stuff regurgitated

Dan is 48, HW 41. The son was one when PS handpicked HW. He would have been 35 and her 29. He should have been wiser to someone grooming the m to get to the child, than her due to age.

Why has Holly suddenly distanced herself

Because she's trying desperately to hang onto her own job

If you read the DM article it says that.
Phil reported them last week to the media regulators .
Phil paid for MM to see very expensive lawyers so he could stop stories leaking.
But, MM ended up telling the lawyers everything and decided he wanted the story to come out.
Phil then realised it was going to come out so went and apologised to the DM.

GoOnHoliday · 28/05/2023 17:26

If a predator needs a regular update of prey I assume they start looking to groom access via adults long before they pounce.

Midsomer, have you got anything new to say? Or did someone force you to come on this thread and sneer

Yeah this.

He's scum

GoOnHoliday · 28/05/2023 17:28

Then you have those associated with the talent agency that has now cut him off, especially those his daughter managed (who hasn't disowned him as he has his brother) and the boys these influencers have!

GoOnHoliday · 28/05/2023 17:29

Do these people know safeguarding? It appears not going by their Instagram accounts.

@SargentSagittarius Its ok, I’ve read them, am I not ok to start my own? If you’re bored, you don’t have to read it’s ok.

You can do what you like, but others are allowed to mention that it's bad form to start one when there's already loads.

And they're all saying the same thing!

What's not clear is why the young man has now decided he's not going to cover for PS by lying any more.

It would seem that whatever hold PS had over him is no longer effective.

Sigmama · 28/05/2023 17:32

Nannyogg - why is it bad form? It doesn't bother me, Are there rules about this, or are you the self appointed thread police?

I thought there was a super injunction

You are joking , his name and photo are all over Twitter , plus Holly was there at the NTA when Philip had him removed as he was making a scene . There are photos .

MM opening up to lawyers suggests to me that he finally found a safe space to speak about everything without Phils influence.

It is at least an abuse of power.

@OCarumba Same, that’s what I mean, there was a supposed injunction, plus P.S was paying to have comments removed on Twitter etc, it was said this was coming to an end.
It’s now said there was never an injunction and this boy has decided he doesn’t want to lie anymore…so many lies being thrown around
