Phillip schofield

Dan Wooton works for the DM. He says he raised the Schofield/inappropriate relationship with itv in 2019. Says he left after being told not to report on that or H and M.

Schofield will have good legal advice, he’s acknowledged lying to his legal advisors, agent, wife, colleagues when this relationship was under discussion some years ago. He says he accepts the relationship was inappropriate but not illegal.

Schofield was in a position of power and authority over a young person. It doesn’t matter if Schofield isn’t a Saville, what matters is the breach of trust. Is it a Me Too moment for the many young men used in ‘the industry’

Baggs - for what it’s worth I’ve never felt ok with Mr and Mrs Macron

JaneJudge - agree with your PE teacher comparison.

Baggs

NY Breaking is currently reporting an earthquake in Melbourne.

The site was not insecure when I went to it.

Dan Wootton is a well-known journalist.

All I know is that my iPad came up with a malware message as soon as I followed the link Baggs, I don’t know why, but the security is good on Apple products usually.

Yes, don’t go to the site, it is very dodgy!

Thanks. Should I ask MN to delete it?

lets say my 15yo son has a 50yo PE teacher who coaches him. My son leaves school age 18 and has a sexual relationship with the PE teacher. Is that appropriate? as that is what is being described and admitted to. A mentor, a coach, a teacher, someone in a position of power with access to a child who is now an adult.

This is "on point" exactly but it rather begs the questions, for all of us, as to what counts as an adult and what doesn't. It also raises the issue of whether a relationahip in which one partner is "in a position of power" matters if both people are adults.

Define adult. Define "position of power".

Macron was his wife's pupil. Nobody seems bothered about their relationship. Admittedly, I don't know anything more about it.

According to Dan Wootton, the younger person is 34 years younger that Phillip Schofield.
They met when the younger man was a young teenager[doesnt mean anything happened at that particular point].

That site is dodgy fancythat, it’s not secure and my iPad detected malware. I’d advise others not to click on it.

To Casdon.

I think I'm going to wait and see what emerges

I get too emotionally involved in anything involving allegation of sexual abuse

The issue I have JaneJudge is with the assumption that the young man was 16, 18 or whatever, because that is not currently a fact that is in the public domain. For all we know he was 22, and had previously had sexual relations with many other men. I’m not saying he did of course, just that the rumour mill is currently running riot with no evidence.

Just to be clear, the young man in question is now 27. In 2019 when the reports surfaced he was 23. He started working for ITV at age 18. I’m not defending PS in any way, but this gossip is dangerous when the actual facts are not known.

PS says he didnt act illegally. My best guess is that he didnt.
But I wouldnt feel comfortable with a youngor teenage son of mine having a presumably close friendship with someone of 53, outside of a very trusted family member. Personally. Mentor or not.

He was his mentor since he was 10 years old. I cannot defend that, whether he started the sexual relationship when he was 16 or not but also

Anyone aged 16 or over, regardless of gender or sexuality can legally consent to sex. There are exceptions to this rule. It is illegal for anyone in a position of trust to have sexual contact with anyone aged 17 or under who is in their care

Idk

I don't think anyone should be having relationships with people they have known as small children while adults

Plenty of other fish in the sea

Maybe I'm being a judgemental git but it just makes me very uncomfortable

And so it goes on .

If you google Matthew Mcgreevy quite a few articles come up about how inappropriate his behaviour has been. Eamon and Ruth have spoken out about it too.

How are people supposed to get justice in an atmosphere like we're seeing here Doodledog?

Yeah, but when NDAs are in place and people are sacked for speaking out it muddies the waters, doesn't it?

How are people supposed to get justice in an atmosphere like that?

I quite agree that reading something isn't knowing it, but this has been rumbling on for years now - online and amongst people who work in the media and know the people involved. It's not a sudden demonisation of Schofield that has come out of the blue.

Until any facts are known this is all speculation and very unpleasant speculation too. Yes his brother is a convicted paedophile and was tried and convicted in a court of law.

That should also be the case for PS if there's a case to answer, not a trial by media.

I completely agree Smileless2012, I’ve been watching this thread with mounting concern. It’s like the crowds gathering for a public hanging.

and his brother has been convicted of paedophilia too, it is bloody awful and good old Eamon and Ruth were sacked for pointing out what was happening

No that's just not ok, whether he has actually broken the law or not... I can't understand that at all.
