100% agree. The general public don't know anything about what has happened but the witch hunt is outrageous.

Ignoring the rest of your disgusting post perhaps the reason he lives his life the way he does is due to his mh issues.

@dimorphism , your post is also abhorrent. None of anything you mentioned is comparable here

Well, because decent people dont continue to stick the boot in in those circumstances about something they dont actually know about.

That aside, huw never said he was holier than thou. He did a job like everyone else in the country. The fact he isnf what the entitled fee payers decided he is is neither here nor there. F

Show quote history

Public discussion on this issue is welcome and needed. It doesn't need to be "sticking the boot in" and do not label all posts on here as such - it's inadequate and misleading to do so.

HE didn't have to call himself holier than thou, his entire public persona was based on this premise until this week.

WildUnchartedWaters · 12/07/2023 22:08

This is scarily echoing of caroline flack and Philip.

People spouting nasty, horrible words in defence of the victim and the partner who in both cases supported the person concerned. But no, the great British public must have their say -- until of.coirse they lose their life where they are divided into the ones who continue to write disgusting things or the ' be kind brigade '. Its sickening.

The entitlement of some because people are in the public eye is just breathtaking.

Surely you arent suggesting that the involvement of the sun has been of virtue.

Show quote history

No, I'm suggesting that the BBC enables sexual predators and given they're funded by public money it's not acceptable.

They knew about Savile and let him get away with abusing many more because they didn't take action, and it seems not much has changed.

They create individuals with power who feel they are invincible. They don't have to do that, plenty of people can read the news well or present tv programmes- given the salaries they're paying these 'stars' the job could be shared out over several people rather than raising individuals up to have immense power and status.

Was it?where? By who? Ans why does he have to live up to a label given to him by other people?

I didnt label all posts as that, that's a lie.
Its welcome and needed in your opinion. Not for him, his wife , or his 'victim', but then nobody gives a monkey's ahout them really.

I didn't say I had proof. Who here has ANY proof. It's what's been reported, and people will make their own judgment based on what they are reading/seeing.

1000's and 1000's of opinions are shared online and in real life that absolutely are bot based on 'proof'.

What an odd statement to make.

I think it’s very odd to start a thread aiming to be the first person with a piece of scandal, and on top of that trying to make it all about yourself.

Do I think what he's done is good? Absolutely not.

It's sleazy and perverted. Yes.

Immoral. Yes

Criminal? No (not according to multiple police forces who have investigated)

However I'm not willing to join the mob on this one. Honestly at this point, I think the pitch forks have been sharpened, the torches are roaring.

Crime or no crime, the mob is out for a kill, and a kill it will get sadly.

The witch hunt isn't the general public, it is the press. Most people are indifferent. #bekind was a reaction to the vitriol which was then taken over by the press that persecuted the individual.

The police have confirmed he had not done anything illegal.

@SecretCorridor I do not know because I was not there and unless people own up to what is going on nothing is proven and as I work with the family courts it is balance of probability if needed. I just find the parental perspective very off. This person is an adult now, no contact and has been outed against their will. This kind of behaviour usually funds a habit. The parent's insistence they became addicted because of the money is back to front. People do not suddenly think 'I have too much money- I'll try crack'.

Absolutely.

What is more likely is the young person probably for whatever reason got into smoking freebase {Crack} which is expensive and hideously compulsive, and then began to {possibly} sell services online.

Arabels · 12/07/2023 22:17

We’re talking about the newspaper that smeared Hillsbrough victims. Their handling of this story has been utterly repulsive and the mob lining up to condemn him are just as bad. I’m not surprised he’s in hospital.

This should never have become public.

People don't seem indifferent on here. The way that judgment calls are made on scant evidence is scary. I bet that many wouldn't be quite so quick to raise a metaphorical 'guilty' placard if it was a member of their family being accused.

whatchagonnado · 12/07/2023 22:18

The BBC spent the first 15mins last night on News at Ten reporting this and they have done exactly the same tonight! No crime committed. He's been a deeply unpleasant perv, but is this news really more important than the war in Ukraine? NO! Makes my blood boil
Can't believe it's been given so much attention

@Mulhollandmagoo you are speculating.

If, as rumours suggest, contact was made via a platform like OnlyFans then the user must be 18 and over and sign to say they are. This means that HE would have thought the accuser was 18 or over.

Infact, the accuser now becomes the person who can get into trouble legally, for breaking the terms of OnlyFans and sharing photos when under the age of 18.

Well this is what I’ve been thinking. With everything that’s been said, I’m surprised this point hasn’t been raised much and
I doubt the younger adult would have been advertising his drugs addiction on the OF platform.

Two consenting adults on their own mission to self destruct, facilitated by OF or the like. Very sad.
