Are you Welsh? I just wonder why you have gone in hard on Schofield but are willing so quickly to believe HE is not guilty? If you are Welsh is it because he is hero to Wales? I don’t get the distinction between him and Schofield. If he is guilty, different cheeks of the same a. There is not a hope in hell that the lad has the funds for expensive lawyers, he’s an addict spending his dosh on crack according to his parents, how has he got the funds for legals. I still believe he is has been approaching young men online, fishing like Schofield, until he got a catch.
At the moment there’s a fair bit of evidence for Schofield though, and repeated with different people. He also did an awful lot of manipulation and evasion and his colleagues haven’t a good word to say of him. We still don’t really know what is going on here yet, although it does admittedly look dodgy.

What I’m still trying to get my head around was, why the mum didn’t go the police instead of the paper .

Sun said two concerned parents, thought it was just the mother.

it’s so confusing my head hurts

I have friends who do webcam work and have regulars who tip them a lot of money. My thoughts are that HE is a sugar daddy for this young person and the young person has been spending the money on drugs. The mum has found out HE is the one providing the money for the drugs and is so stressed out with her child being a drug addict that she's gone to the papers to try and cut off the funds for the drugs, that's why she doesn't want paying. He might not have known their age, he may very well have. The young person is probably denying it because they don't want to lose their payouts.

He says nothing inappropriate happened. Which could just mean he wasn't under 18 no?

The instagram could just be to stop comments and pictures being lifted.
I just don’t see this myself:

- Comments were already restricted on his Insta
- There’s plenty of photos of him elsewhere on the internet
- His Twitter profile is still active and is not restricting replies

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the allegations of “sliding into DMs” are mainly focused around Instagram - where it’s generally easier to perv over young men (if you’re that way inclined) than on Twitter where most people don’t post many pictures of themselves.

This is a very likely scenario, but what a mess.

If the guy has made £35k from one person alone, that suggests he can afford his own lawyers.

It's funny that people think they must have been paid off to get a lawyer.

Probably what happened is 1 of

- They put 'media lawyer' into Google and found a firm (perhaps they checked out who represented Colleen Rooney or some other high profile case) and then contacted them.
- The BBC got in contact for their investigation, their lawyers probably said 'we won't talk to you unless you have a lawyer, here's a list of firms you could ask to represent you

Ok. So this “mother” went to the sun with a story. She must have had to produce some evidence to back the story up or their legal team would never have let them go to print with it.

I’m watching Sky and then GBN for the deep delve at 9pm
The Sun say complaint was from both parents 😲
I think the BBC got spooked today and sent the same message to all news media outlets

Controlled ops

So HE may well be back on at 10 🤔
All joking aside it seems like the young male is back tracking, maybe because he could end up in trouble, the poor mother must be climbing the walls.
I no longer think poor mother. I think this is pretty sick to go against your child like this, even if it’s 100% true. In fact, especially if it’s true… you e got a child who has drug problems and so potentially MH problems and you pull this tit? I would never ever speak to her ever again. She’d be dead to me. The person is 20 and entitled to make their own decisions, even if the mother doesn’t agree.

The young person has been very badly used, especially by the Sun who ignored their statement on Friday saying it’s not true.

I seriously question the mother here. It’s felt dodgy all along and there’s details that have never added up. We’re almost certainly missing a big piece of the puzzle and the mother feels a likely reason why.

This has pay off all over it. Lawyer probably paid for by the Beeb. Payout offered on condition of signed NDA. Alternative was them being dragged through a lengthy painful court battle. A case of 'take the money son and say no more about it' . Look at Scofe - untouchable. The Beeb have unlimited resource and friends in high places.
Don't see why the BBC would do that? The presenter maybe. The BBC wouldn't be dragged throuh a court case anymore than say Tesco would be if an employee of theirs did the same.

It does seem strange though unless the mother has completely the wrong end of the stick. As a parent though, my first port of call would be the police if Inthought something wrong/illegal was going on NOT the employer or press.

I’m confused as this story has changed so much

The police aren’t investigating but assessing. That sounds a bit like pedantics!

The denial by the alleged victim why now why not when this story first came out? It looks like they’ve been silenced but I could be wrong,

I don’t think this is the last of the story it doesn’t add up.
