“Mystery” Male Celebrity Loses Injunction Bid

The celebrity has lost his bid for a permanent injunction to prevent The Guardian and ITN from publishing allegations that he abused his status to attempt or attempt to engage in “inappropriate sexual activities with a large number of girls and young women.”

There remains a temporary injunction preventing him from being named in order to allow an appeal against the judgement.

The judgement seems to imply it is indeed an NHS facility, and given PPT has been able to supply supporting evidence from ten individual doctors that he has suffered life-long poor mental health, including multiple detentions and suicide attempts, then I see no reason whatsoever to doubt the claims made about his mental state, or any reason to imply he's hamming it up or attempting to "play the mental health card".

That isn't what's fundamentally dishonest about this action. It's the notion that he has a legal right to be protected from his own thoughts and feelings arising from his past behaviours. That is ridiculous, and a blatant attempt from his legal team to have certain Human Rights law misinterpreted and misapplied. I'm relieved the Judge saw through it and rejected it, and I can only hope the appeal fails.

A lot of victims might feel they are the only one, and if they discover they are one of many, may be more likely to go to the police, even years later.

Sorry not RTFT but will forget if I don’t post now - is he really on a level with JS?!

According to DH, not him at all but a very different celeb who is indeed pretty horrible behind the scenes (I had dealings with said celeb but had no idea that they were sleazy just nasty and entitled.)

The alleged allegations state women and GIRLS

You’re ‘DH’ is wrong.

He absconded from the secure hospital on one occasion.

It’s not guesswork as to who it is, his name has been confirmed in foreign media

He’s not going to do anything of the sort. He’s just trying to manipulate the legal process by pretending to be suicidal.

*Your

Ah, yes, Cliff Richard, indeed.

I am not so sure he is pretending, whilst agreeing he is trying to use it to silence the press.

If he were to end up being charged, and girls is a reference to under 18s, he would not have an easy time in prison. A convicted sex offender (former lead singer of the Lostprophets) was murdered in prison. The thought of that probably has affected his mental health.

I’m not condoning what the defence barristers say or do. They have a job to do and unfortunately it’s to try and put the accusers in a bad light.
I’m saying that until proven guilty the accused should have anonymity. I know that the CPS need to have a strong case before they proceed but occasionally cases are proved where the accuser has lied and some bloke has had his name dragged through the mud and mud sticks.

My previous post was based on a podcast released a few weeks ago so I stand corrected about the NHS treatment.

Like when Schofield mention killing himself. It’s manipulation, it’s what men like this are good at and rely on those around them falling for it. They’re sick.

What a kerfuffle!

I'm glad. Much as I disliked the celeb DH mentioned, he never came across as sleazy in that way, whereas the other one always did, even in the height of fame.

David Jason?

I'm not sure that Schofield did anything unlawful other than hitting on a colleague who was of legal age.

Maybe he'll do a cover of Electronics "getting away with it" for xmas this year

I'm just saying, if he tops himself is that a "win" for the internet, court of public justice, the journos, whatever. I am just remembering how the so called investigative journalists decided to cover up about Epstein and Covid coming from a lab in Wuhan. They are always keen to expose celebrities but not anything serious.

Oh wait is this about Lara Stone’s ex then? 👀

I’m sorry but I think the wrongly accused are vastly outnumbered by the guilty-but-never-brought-to-justice.

He'd known the boy from 11 years old. At the very least there was grooming.

I really hope his appeal does not succeed. We can’t have a system where predatory men do unspeakable things to young women and expect their privacy and anonymity to be respected. Just ‘no’.
