bickster Posted July 11, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 11, 2023 I also presume they have an age filter function? You would imagine a young person would set that to an appropriate age The young person also says they threatened to out the BBC Presenter, well that asks more questions again, that they received abusive phone calls after threatening to out the person is hardly a shock I presume that also means the young person had given their phone number to he presenter in the first place? I honestly have no clue about dating apps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also only have their word for it that he’s a drug addict. Yeah that's why I said "potentially" as it's all just different conflicting accounts drip fed to public via different new outlets of varying journalistic reputation.

Amusing though. I saw an episode of the chase today and the same person referenced in the thick of it formed part of a question in the final head to head.

sidcow Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 Hmm. Backtracking on the under 18 thing. I've been wondering where the criticism of Only Fans is here. They've apparently been hosting a 17 olds photos for sale yet I've not seen any questions about that whatsoever in the news. Maybe he was 18 then.

Stevo985 Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 Been listening to the Newsagents. They know who it is. They also think it’s a lot more complicated than people think otherwise the Sun would have named the person. They SPECULATED that extortion or blackmail MIGHT be involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a previous editor of the Sun on and he said the same thing. Basically that he couldn’t see why they wouldn’t have named him, and also why they wouldn’t have done more of a story when it broke. It’s pure speculation of course. But they were just saying it’s not straight forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
