Does anyone remember (apologies if it’s already come up in this thread - I did do a quick search and found screenshots, attached) some quite widespread rumours for a bit that DW originally wrote in his autobiography that he’d lost his virginity to his sister?

Also reported in Popbitch in 2016 and they’re spot on with pretty much everything.

Those two words aren't used together anymore as they imply that the child has consented which is impossible.
It's called child sexual abuse material or CSAM.
Thank you for the correction. I wasn't sure what the right term was so thank you for letting me know this.

No worries, it's hard to know what's wrong or right sometimes if we're used to seeing or saying certain words. I know you had no ill intentions.

I’m not familiar with all the laws, but would is it the case that while it’s “legal” for him to have a sexual relationship with a 16yo, if he were to keep video or images of the act that would be illegal?

He's certainly found himself in a lot of trouble, all of his own doing. Wasn't he close to his mum (like Brand is/was). I wonder what she's making of all this. Surely she couldn't have known what he was doing, at least you'd hope that.

I have heard a rumour from someone who knows someone at Sky that he’s passed. Absolutely no idea if truth in it.
If this is true, I’m well aware some people will probably be jumping for joy, but not me. He should live to face the consequences of his actions, and think of his poor son. I imagine his son will already be getting quite the ribbing at school as is given this week’s news.

Yes, although the law has a defence if they were married (age for marriage was 16 when the law was written) or "living together in an enduring family relationship".

I agree. If he takes the cowards way out and avoids justice, and leaves his poor son, I’ll think even less of him. POS that he is.

And if he did pass away I don’t doubt that people would turn around and blame the victims, say they drove a poor innocent man to suicide with their lies. The usual kind of victim blaming and misogyny they come out with.

Yes. The weird law where a 70 year old man can legally duck a 16 year old girl on her birthday. But if the same girl sent a 18 year old lad dirty photos/videos he would get in way more bother.

I think staggered consent is good.

That rumour was doing the rounds on most social media sites last night. Surely if it was true it would have been reported in the news by now. And the Met wouldn’t have put that statement out today.

Exactly. It must be BS.

Yeah, I don’t think he’s done himself in. Considering how vociferously he said he would if named in the media, I’d be amazed if he wasn’t sectioned or in somewhere like the Priory for his own safety.

Maybe not. When Rolf Harris passed away it was talked about on Tattle but wasn't officially announced until two weeks later. They reported it after he was buried.

Edit. I don't know whether or not he has passed. Just saying we may not be told right away.

Yes, it’s illegal to make indecent images of a child under 18.

Until I see a BBC or Sky news update on him, I’m assuming he is fine.

He isn’t being seen in public, so that’s going to keep the “he passed” rumours going (daily it seems) because there won’t be any evidence he hasn’t.
