Is this another scandal about LGBT Youth Scotland? I haven’t been following properly.

I'm not sure if it's another allegation or more information on the existing one - there were two men who've made allegations, iirc?

'One of the men Mr Cowie says set him on a pathway to years of turmoil, who cannot be named for legal reasons, remains the “key youth worker” for an LGBT Youth Scotland group in west Scotland, which 13- to 25-year-olds are encouraged to attend. The man's name appears on at least one school website.

Mr Cowie alleges that the youth worker gave him his passport which he used to gain entry to gay nightclubs in Glasgow, where he was introduced to men who would go on to subject him to horrific abuse.

He says he was given “special” treatment when at twice-weekly youth group meetings, which he began attending aged 15, which involved him being plied with alcohol and cigarettes.

He claims he was taken by charity staff to adult venues where he was introduced to predatory older men'

This is horrific. Poor man.

If it is the previous allegations this means that despite serious allegations that should impact their enhanced DBS the charity worker is still being allowed access to children

13 to 25 again. So many of these groups seem to be for ages 13 to 25.

It can't be just me who finds that a deeply inappropriate grouping. For pretty much any subject really - it covers such radically different life stages - but particularly for anything to do with sex or sexuality.

A tweet from one of the survivors, his statement

Is this getting any media attention in Scotland? I wish someone would publicly join the dots between pedophiles in “LGBT” charities and rapists in women’s prisons.

It is hugely inappropriate. In no other context would it be seen as appropriate for a 13 Yr old to be hanging out with a 25 yr old - and on the basis of sexual attraction. WTAF

But then these organisations have zero expertise in child development or safeguarding.
