Re: Roger Martin - trial

I keep coming back to the cycling shorts parties and I’m surprised there haven’t been arrests yet.

Re: Roger Martin - trial

Richard- do you believe there will be more arrests?

Re: Roger Martin - trial

My intention is in no way to minimise. Unfortunately we will never know a true number as not every victim will want to come forward and many will no longer be with us. Some may not even consider themselves true victims or their experiences worth reporting to the police as they, or others, have minim...

Re: 1968 and all that

Summer of 1968 I remember very clearly as a thirteen year old in BaA – Beatles music blaring out all over, long hair breaking out and Roger Martin rounding up a bunch of us and filming us naked in the bath with his Super 8 camera. He went to jail this week for four years. There’s lots of discussion...

Re: Roger Martin - trial

I understood the calculation of 5,000 pupils to be the total number to pass through CH in that time period. To say that this is the number of children abused assumes a 100% rate of pupil abuse, which isn’t realistic. Yes, there were potentially 5,000 children put at risk of abuse due to the (recentl...

Re: Roger Martin - trial

Now I am angry all over again thinking about smug faced Poulton wearing his school tie to Karim’s trial. After the testimony he gave he should have lost the right to wear that tie.

Re: Roger Martin - trial

The starting point could be Karim. We know that was covered up. Good job I didn’t hold my breath waiting for Cairncross to comment after the trials (if you remember she said it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to comment until the trial was over). I even reminded her via Twitter but oddly she didn’t...

Re: Roger Martin - trial

So Kenya is a second destination for European paedophiles after Thailand then, is it? It's now come up several times on this forum, and a quick search seems to confirm this with multiple headlines of serial paedos getting convicted. (e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/western-paed...

Re: Roger Martin - trial

I had a minor role as a witness in the Roger Martin case — went into the dock, which was MY choice — and can also attest that the Sussex Police dealt with me admirably. I'm glad I got in touch to tell my story of being filmed naked by RM. Police dealings with me were very sensitive for which I am g...

Re: Roger Martin - trial

If justice has been done, one has no choice but to approve, because justice is of paramount importance. But let’s not forget that in many ways Roger Martin was a very sound man who had a positive impact on many young lives over several decades. That can never be erased. Every word of the ‘Roger Mar...

Re: Here's a hypothetical

While the rolling eyes emoji isn't helpful, I think that I agree with Pe A. What did McCall actually do here? A clumsy pass by an older man on another man. McCall could very reasonably claim that yes, he made a pass but <> Have a search on the forum for McCall’s name and see past posts. Yeah, fair ...

Controversial than, rather than provocative. Your own word.

I don’t want to derail the thread arguing with you so will leave it there.

Re: Here's a hypothetical

It’s nothing to do with being ‘in the know’. Read Julian’s post at the top of the sub-forum titled ‘Please be sensitive to those who may read these forums’. Whilst I appreciate that this can’t descend into a witch hunt based upon hearsay, nor should we be flippant as to whether or not offences may h...
