I agree and I’m not excusing him. I imagine if he ever does release a statement that he will go with the exact same line as PS. At this stage though, I don’t see the evidence that HE has acted as badly as Schofield.
Indeed. He (it seems anyway) didn't bring his young men to work with him or get them jobs on his show or bring them to awards ceremonies. He didn't get people fired for speaking up about his relationships. He didn't rule the BBC with a rod of iron like Philth seemingly did with ITV. He was allegedly warned before about the DM-ing though. Wasn't a good look befitting a serious newscaster. But no, he's no Schofield. And unfortunately I don't think he'll cope well with all this.

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head there. The damage is done.
And damage is recovered from anyone making defamatory statements (1) with deep pockets to ensure the defamed victim is not harmed and possibly (2) group of social media users that went viral to send a message and make legal precedent that gossipy statements made on social media or dark corners of the internet are not outside very conservative and prescriptive UK laws

Why is he liking tweets? Whatever the outcome of what happened with who and when, presumably the solids here are he has been paying for something from someone that isn’t his wife, and he’s made a utter fool of himself / treated his wife and kids appallingly. He’s hardly in any position to be taking the high road and liking tweets imo. At best he’s a dirty old git. If he wanted a different life he should have made arrangements to have one.
He also should have chosen a cheaper lawyer. Now it just looks like he’s paying once again for the outcome he wants. Round two. It’s pretty grim these filthy old codgers keep getting to select representatives for the potential victims. What bang average 20yo gets a top top lawyer at the drop of a hat.

This has majorly backfired. He is probably on a retainer for a long time to keep schtum, plenty of money for drugs, or more hopefully private detox. Unless The Sun can prove he was lying about their being no impropriety. Squeaky bum time for The Sun, the BBC and Huw and the lad.

When I first saw the arse photo, I thought it was Lee Anderson MP. Maybe he could play the role?
Wonder if he can do a welsh accent?

Its just all a bit sad, seedy, middle aged man behaviour. Even Frank Bough got coke and hookers, this just conjures up images of HE wanking on a sofa with his pants round his ankles.

I think this too. And the mother may 100% believe she is telling the truth because that’s her perception. Which could also be why so many news reports have now mentioned that this wasn’t black and white and I go back to what I said on the previous thread - is it morally dubious if OF involved, absolutely. Did It mean a persons kinks should have been made headline news? Probably not.

and if it is OF, I think it throws up a wider conversation socially about what happens when you destigmatise sex work but no work is done to actually protect or support those from the reality of choosing it as a career.

As the purported victim is now an adult, i think he would need to report it to the police himself. Police don't actively investigate crimes based on heresy.

I think the sun have something solid. We are in an era where news agencies being sued by both of the Kings sons, it would be naive to think they are still writing things on a whim.

I’m not sure, there’s a photo of him with his wife on a female friends insta it was Her last post just 1 week ago. I didn’t get the woman’s name and since he’s done something to his insta I can’t find it, but they were tagged at the savoy.
