Surely this makes PS's position as a TV presenter totally untenable, if I am understanding his statement below, he knew what his brother was doing last September, 3 months before the brother was arrested, and he did nothing about it bar telling his brother not to do it again, for fuck sakes, sounds like even the brother was looking for help and PS did nothing which allowed the abuse to continue. He probably bloody got off on it himself, absolute sicko, the pair of them. Is it not criminal to not report such a crime once you know?

In September 2021 the abuser, who was arrested three months later, told his famous brother about performing sex acts with the victim present.
In a statement read during trial, the This Morning presenter said he had invited his brother to visit him in London after receiving a call from him in an "agitated and upset state".
'Never happen again'
He said he and his brother had a meal together and discussed mental health treatment, but his brother had confessed to the incidents involving pornography.
Mr Schofield's statement said: "I turned and said, 'What did you just say?' He said it was last year and we were alone together.
"Tim said it was just this once. I told him it should never happen again."
The presenter said his brother had then tried to give him more details about the incident.
"I said, 'F***, stop'. I shouted at Tim that he had to stop. I didn't want to know any of the details but he made it sound like a one-off," Mr Schofield said.
"I said, 'I don't want you to tell me any more'. I said, 'You've got to stop, just never do it again. Regardless how that happened it must never happen again'."
