JFK-1 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 So why are you all thinking it's a man? Aren't women perverts too? Equality and all? 😉 And personally I would have been over the moon at 17 if some hot BBC milf payed me for pics to fund a crack cocaine habit. I would have given her a lot more than pics for free. Hell I would have payed her to fund a crack cocaine habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Whoever it is while the behaviour is at minimum questionable it's far from illegal or criminal. It's not Savile or his ilk. Female over the age of consent there's a legal industry around that. Certainly in the UK where the age of consent is 16 but maybe not in the US where it's 18. Allegedly no one ever told some hick/hillbilly types about that. But Forrest Gump like that's all I have to say about that. But definitely not an advisable activity when you're a BBC presenter, calamity in fact. Especially since there's this crack cocaine addiction facet of it which is something that will be laser focused on about the whole affair. Some segments will paint it as her having fallen into drug addiction due to the distress of having to send him these pics, which she didn't have to, or something like that. He isn't going to blackmail her with this stuff as apparently happens with some groomed teenagers online. If anything it looks closer to the other way around. But some segments will try to put him in that bracket I may be wrong but at this stage I feel chances are the girl may have fallen into drug addiction if she had been given any avenue to some income, even say legitimate small time modeling in a local clothes store or something. As for him whoever it is the way I see it what he's allegedly been doing isn't my cup of tea, I wouldn't want his kind around my teenage daughters if I had any, but again it's not criminal and I try to be as non judgmental as I can be, i'm granting him questionable at worst and if you asked me why he's questionable at all I couldn't come up with an answer. If it's an age gap thing Rod Stewart has been marrying women young enough to be his great granddaughter for years and no one blinks an eyelid. Rupert Murdoch gets married all the time and almost any woman is young enough to be his great granddaughter and nobody blinks an eye.

So no gay men are allowed to actually meet children under 16 or its perceived as the first steps to " grooming.". ?? I'm not sure if they were necessarily homophobic comments. There does, generally, seem to be a lot if assumption that because he was in the same room as the boy at 14 that he groomed him. I don't think that has ever been something that anyone with any actual connection to either of them has ever said. There also seems to be a lot made of the fact that he got him a job. I've never worked in television but, I'm presuming, that's how many people have "got their foot in the door", by making connections. Maybe Schofield did groom him, maybe he didn't. I have no idea. What i do know is that there isn't anywhere near enough information available to me to make that judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
