On its own the parents comments aren’t evidence of anything It also doesn’t appear that there is police involvement as yet but strangely there is a newspaper story The OnlyFans thing was a hypothetical question I was initially responding to @Demitri_C about the comment about it’s not a story/illegal. It potentially is as the facts are still a bit sketchy. Money was paid to a 17 year old but we don’t know if that’s when this sharing of images started. In the original post from @Seat68 suggested the person was selling the pictures via onlyfans which I don’t think was the case (that could have been a hypothetical scenario too).

The person who was creating pictures for cash was doing it via Only Fans and the BBC star was one of many sending money? …purely "could this potentially, be the case"? It’s a hypothetical question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t have been illegal if these two people had actual physical sex. Might be a bit whataboutery this but wasn't the girl involved with Prince Andrew 17? I know the law is different in the US but people still call him a nonce on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2023 Very interesting to see a number of the names being casually thrown around deciding to do something about it - one reporting people making allegations to the police, another publicly stating he's taken legal advice on defamation.

chrisp65 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I guess we’ll find out soon enough if its a ‘big name’ and they’re obviously missing. I know one thing, anybody uninvolved that was thinking of throwing a sickie week, they’ll be in early and sticking in a memorable shift now.

HongKongVillan Posted July 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2023 "Big name" according to the sun could well be as obscure as Dion being a presenter for something about houses or that little baldy guy who exposes cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 9, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2023 Here’s a question. Why are all the names that people are randomly chucking about on Twitter etc all male? All I know is BBC presenter. It seems to have automatically been decided that it’s a male. Half the names are obviously in the gay / potentially gay bracket and the others are people Daily Heil readers don’t like (or both obviously) If it is a female, how does that change opinions? Its easy to say it’s exactly the same (and it mostly is) but I suspect that opinions may be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really surprising as I'm trying my best to ignore the story until there’s some actual evidence that isn’t third hand tittle tattle So far we have the parents of a now 20 year old cracked cocaine addict saying they've seen bank statements that date back to when their son was 17. Even the newspaper that broke this story haven't seen any evidence. Right now, the story doesn’t meet any journalistic standards, it is also quite noticeable that there’s not a hint of a police enquiry as of right now. (That I’ve seen mentioned by anyone at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I’m not sure why the BBC bother trying to keep the name secret. It’ll be out within a couple of days after dozens of presenters have been falsely accused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
