Have a look yourself.

[Peter Pedant]

this thread wont laaaaaast !
( whipsy - wbbly voice) and knowing look

who den?

Has he broken the law? - or just the law of the jungle which is the media bubble in London

I thought it was obvious that it was a rent-boy ( real one, not a tenant looking for a house) who was a drug addict and making money as he could

[barry1010]

It is a crime as you very well know, PP. It is illegal to make, distribute, possess or show indecent images of anyone under 18, even if the young person consented.
This youth was 17 when it started.

[Peter Pedant]

oops sozza forgot that one
not part of my life see?
Law on 16-18 is an absolute minefield.... official sozza about that one

eek, blushes - lucky I dont er buy photos

[barry1010]

This campaign to bring down the BBC presenter is apparently being run by the Sun. I well remember that rag featuring a 'countdown' in the run up to Sam Fox's 16th birthday so they could post the first page 3 topless photo of her.
Obviously that photo was taken before she was 16 and the law was different then - but it stinks of double standards.

[Peter Pedant]

I wasnt keen on the sun and smut
but you know it is personal standards...when is it right to enforce ones own personal standards on other people ?

that was the day you could die for your country but cdnt.....

everyone sucked their belly buttons in and got on with life

[barry1010]

If I were a single man now, or inclined to start anything with a young person, I would want to double check their birth certificate and get the parent to confirm it.
Such murky waters to paddle in

@08.36.I take it you was told all about this by a"friend",barry?

[10ClarionSt]

ynnafymmi, Barry clearly said he remembered it.

[ynnafymmi]

He could have added-"or so i was told by a friend",10CS.

[douglas9401]

Paying £35,000 for some deerty peectures suggests it's someone at the thick end of the brains scale.

Have they not heard of the internet and the wonders available thereon?

The Sun do like to find a word and kick it to death, 'crack' in this case.

[barry1010]

Told what by a friend?
What am I being accused of now?

[webbo3]

Possibly...

That's a bit part actor not a well known presenter

[barry1010]

Even a hint as to who this presenter could be and the thread will be removed.

[Bobbisox1]

Wrong to speculate on here , I’m sure all will be revealed , it usually turns up on FB , that well know paragon of virtue ;0)

[david small]

Do we really care? Or is idle curiosity once again rearing it’s hypocritical head.
So many skeletons in so many cupboards.
As Jesus said...Let yea without sin cast the first stone”...”mother, put down that rock”.

[douglas9401]

Jesus didn't need dirty pictures to get aroused though. The bible clearly says 'he is risen'.

[barry1010]

I care, not so much as to the identity of the man but the very easy ways young people and children can be drawn in to this with the lure of attention from a much older person, flattery and the promise of 'easy money'.
All whilst the youngster is safely sat in his or her bedroom, in the bosom of the family.
