Having just watched the interview with Emily Maitlis, I just cannot make my mind up about him , I find it strange that he could not recollect having that photo taken with the girl with his arm around him , I thought he was very cautious with his answers, What do you all think ?
suzie if the photograph was taken with the girl’s camera it is quite possible she kept the photograph for 10 years, if she did why would she want to keep it when it would remind her of being raped many times ,
I honestly think that you need to see the C4 programme to understand the context and given that C4 lawyers will have been all over it, it makes you realise what is uncontested and can be said without having to say allegedly. It has been known for years exactly what JE and GM are snd PA had been in their ‘circle for years . It was an open dirty secret and BP knew or should have kniwn
Well .annie why the questioning of the time lag in exposing abuse? You’ve only got to look at the cover up over years in the RC church and the Cof E to see that the powerful and well connected have successfully hidden their abuse for decades - this is just another example of the truth finally coming out
I watched the Dispatches programme earlier this evening, it cleared up a few things. The photo was taken on Virginia’s own camera, there seemed to be some queries about that on the thread. I also wondered why JE lent Sarah Ferguson £15000. Surely Andrew could have rustled that up himself, instead of asking anyone else to lend it?
It’s all a mess, isn’t it? I doubt PA will go to America or answer any official questions though, I think the recent interview was all anyone will get.
Callistemon why was she tracked down ? If she was living a quiet family life in Australia. Reports say many young girls were abused, how was it known who they were and were all tracked down ?
The photograph was taken in 2001 and became public in 2011
Anniebach if the girl, Virginia, did indeed own the photograph, why would she release it if she is living a quiet life with her husband and children in Australia and had to be tracked down to give evidence?
Gabriella if he was indeed at that Pizza Express with his daughter, doubtless there would have been security people with them too. I wonder if they would have 'selective amnesia' if questioned under oath?
