I always like to hope that all the poor little children we read about go on to have happy lives but the truth is if they are in the care system it’s unlikely 😢
Babies are usually the most in demand for adoptive parents, so if they did end up in care after being taken away from their mothers, hopefully they would have been adopted fairly quickly, rather than being in multiple foster placements like some older children sadly face.

They’re not going to be able to go through life with it being avoided unfortunately as their perpetrator is their own mother. They would be teenagers now, it’s horrible to think if they do know details it must be haunting as it’s all blown up in the press since his death. He should have just been buried in the prison grounds in secret.
I keep forgetting that it all happened such a long time ago

I also don’t buy JM version of things.
i mean look at her ‘romantic’ version of how they met.

I find it unbelievable she was found not guilty, the evidence was in black and white.
I find it even more unbelievable how she’s being portrayed in the press. They really do live in plain sight among us.

Babies face multiple foster homes too. One of my children had six changes of carer by ten months old.

Agree. I’m morbidly fascinated by it.

i loved LP and won a competition to meet them so I followed the court case closely.

Can anyone correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the baby boy in the video meant to be IW son? There was a girl who he groomed who had a baby boy and I remember her posting photos on various forums of IW in bed with the baby. I think she was one of the women also sentenced.
Yeah I've heard this too. I mean it would explain why he wasn't scared of the babies dad's finding out..

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the link as it’s been taken down now, but you can find an archived version of a 2012 dating page which had a load of comments about Jo and some speculation about his sick behaviours even back then. I reread it through recently and it’s horrifying, seemed to be an open secret and some comments right on the mark about what he was doing even before he’d been arrested.

I also find it fascinating - I was never a fan but am part of another music fandom - one of the girls we used to hang out with actually knew Mother A 🤢

I don’t believe the band didn’t know as they were getting into fights as far back as 2001 as part of the an NME ones to watch tour just as Shinobi was released.

I was reading a reddit thread on this, I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole so I can't remember which one now but its from maybe a year or so ago and someone on the thread said they still listened to their music and IW was a troubled soul :mad::sick:

Imagine you know what IW has done, and yet you would still happily defend him. The fk is wrong with people.

I think a lot of the people who still listen to their music and defend him may not be aware of THE actual things he did to those babies.

I know not everyone wants to read the details but surely if you listen to the music and you constantly see stuff about the lead singer you would want to do a bit of digging as to why so many people don't listen to the music or why so many people hate him, post threads and speak about him etc.
A lot of people I think just live on a different planet at times too.

Thing is, I bet you were the one who was ostracised! I don't get why people stay with people like this.
I’ve not told many people tbh only my sister and a few close friends, it makes me feel a bit weird talking about it (online I can be a lot more anonymous).

I work in forensic mental health with both people who have been victims and people who have perpetrated sexual offences against children so I see the reality every day and it’s awful. I could never have not reported it.

I work in the same field. It’s so different working with them professionally than knowing someone that’s doing it / done it in your adult life. I didn’t have to report as I found out in the news, it really ducks your head up I couldn’t leave the house for two days as I was non stop thinking about it torturing myself. I didn’t think I would respond like that considering my job & lived CSA experience. It keeps coming into my mind that I’m scared because it’s in the news, everyone will know, will isolate him and isolation is a big factor in reoffending. It just ducks your head up so bad.

I know it doesn’t make anything any better, but. I’m a bit more satisfied that his whole life was trash and he was hurting himself as well as others, selling himself for drugs from his mum’s spare room.
I know that’s not good, but it’s better than the idea I’d had of the rich rockstar sitting on a pile of royalties and passing the hours abusing kids.

It’s actually sick that she was found not guilty. She’s talking about wanting to abuse children, she’s asked for and received indecent images. She should have been jailed, and the “I was in love with him and saying things to excite him” is absolutely vile. I can’t believe how she’s been portrayed in the media.
Her name was Kellie Behrendorff. Last time I checked she was doing porn. Made me really sad to see.

I think we must have been on the same forum, FatTits.
Bingo, you've got a good memory! She was an emo kid working in JB Hifi in Melbourne if I recall

He was jailed for (amongst many things), raping babies. The content is out there, you'd have to be living under a rock to not know his proclivities.

I also recall him having a relationship with an American model/singer called Ivy Levan. She appeared in a video of LP. All whilst he was doing his thing with JM.

What I meant is there are fans out there who have chosen not to pay attention to the news or read the court papers, or they think he was set up or was just misunderstood.
