In WankyRubberMan’s defence he was working at the NSPCC motivated by the job of celebrity booker and would’ve been happy to do that role anywhere - he hadn’t deliberately targeted a children’s charity and we had a proper comb through the dirtiest parts of his internet footprint and the only thing remotely connected to anything sexual underage was his own story about being able to trace his rubber interest back to seeing adult men in surfing wetsuits when he was about 9. His interest seemed to be in men bigger, hairier and older than him, he wasn’t sexualising children.
Obviously wanking at work is completely unacceptable (let alone uploading footage, the man is proper plum) and he was stupidly naive to pick Munroe ‘private message, me little trans children’ Bergdorf as celebrity endorsement but the failures of the NSPCC to step in and refuse to sign off on the appointment of Bergdorf, for their social media team to dismiss concerns of those reporting as being motivated by homophobia, and indeed to not properly train WankyRubberMan in safeguarding on his appointment to the charity (which would’ve presumably meant he was able to spot the Bergdorf issues immediately) nor, seemingly, to have (and enforce!) a social media policy for employees that would’ve made it impossible for us mere Mumsnetters to hop from his Linked In to the Rubbermen of London to his personal porn account is the real scandal.
NSPCC fucked up big time, and WankyRubberMan behaved both appallingly and naively, but WankyRubberMan is not anywhere as worrying a person as Jacob Breslow, and the NSPCC did not have anywhere near the sheer catalogue of fails that Mermaids are demonstrating right now (although even smaller fails are bad considering the NSPCC has statutory powers).
WankyRubberMan is a naive pervert who inadvertently opened a safeguarding gateway, but there are is absolutely no suggestion, let alone evidence that WankyRubberMan is, nor ever has been, remotely interested in sex with anyone who isn’t a fully consenting adult.
Which is why I’m not using his real name, because as long as he stays in the world he came from (gay lifestyle, celeb gossip, London fashion week type stuff) he’s not a problem. And from the blog he posted months after the dust settled, the last thing he is ever going to do is try and get another job even tangentially related to children.
Breslow targeted a children’s charity (multiple, looking at his CV) actively and publicly demonised the people most likely to criticise him (terfs) and as far as we know, was a trustee at Mermaids without financial remuneration.
(whereas WankyRubberMan was at the NSPCC for the salary and the celebs).
