Schofield finished

Why go out of your way to defend a bloke who has abused his position to groom a child?
Where have I defended PS? What I am saying is there maybe have been a different intention to the one a lot of people are implying, no one's knows PS real intention except him, it may well be found that what you are saying is true and if so, he should face the consequences, but as yet from the little I have read he has not been accused of grooming anyone.
 
I am not defending him, I am saying people are assuming for whatever reasons he has done something illegal, I am saying that is not known as yet and due process should take place.

And apologies when I said you, I didn't mean you personally it was meant as for everyone reading it, people in general.

i don't agree with your example, you would not been seen as having position of power over a young person, in law they are an adult. You could be seen as abusing your power or authority in the work place but that is nothing to with age unless the person is under 18.
You don’t have to have done something illegal at work to have committed gross misconduct.

A few posters have mentioned it but you should watch Steve Carrell’s character in The Morning Show if you think there’s nothing wrong with what he did as long as it was between people of consenting age.

I also recall that was Harvey Weinstein’s defence.
 
I was going to stay put of this but I've decided to throw my view in. So, so far PS has been sacked by this morning and now left ITV because....at the minute....he's admitted to an affair with a younger (but not underage) man. Now reading his statement last night he says he's admitted it because the other person has never wanted publicity over who he is and asked for his family and him to be left alone....I can only assume the media have been hounding him too.
Also the reason for his sacking is because ITV and his agency have said he's lied to them....really?? I mean it's been pretty much all over the Internet the name of the lad involved ever since PS has announced he was gay.
That to me smacks of hypocrisy because if we knew they will have to, is there more to come or have the media made him too toxic to be associated with.
At the minute it seems to be a bit of a witch hunt....doesn't innocent until proven guilty still exist, everything at the minute is still just rumours. I mean the last time anything like this happened was with Caroline Flack, media went right after her and look what happened. And then after she died we learnt that a lot of what the media were portraying was untrue (like her being covered in her boyfriends blood when it was actually hers from slitting her wrists because of her mental health problems, problems she didn't want the public to know) and the hypocrisy of the media after that with the "be kind" campaign
And Holly as well...trying to come.out of this whiter than white...she can't say she knew nothing...they were so close they used to holiday together
 
We are in danger on this thread of Schofield being guilty by MSM.

None of us know if he groomed a child for sexual exploitation or wether they became attracted to one another at a later date when the lad was of age, I knew my wife when she was 14 and I was 17/18 as our families knew one another, we got married 10 years later does that make me a groomer?

This is truly starting to stink of the Caroline Flack affair. Let’s not cause more heartbreak because we think we know what’s happened.

I’m pretty sure he’s not monitoring a Boro message board tbh

Not just this forum but look at twitter and other forms of social media. Schofield hasn’t been convicted of anything nor has he been arrested that we know of or under any investigation, he’s lost his job that’s about it.
 
Anyone who doesn't think this is morally reprehensible wants to give their heads a wobble. 'Legal' or not.
Its reprehensible the guy was a teenager and he was in his forties or fifties. it would be equally reprehensible if it was dermott and a 19year old female, gender doesn't come into it at all.
If the mystery man was in his mid twenties then i think it would be completey different.

Hes admitted something which i am sure has broke the code of conduct of his employer.
 
“Anyone who doesn't think this is morally reprehensible”

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say that if PS groomed the young man from his childhood, that it’s not reprehensible.

What I’ve seen is people saying “you can’t assume this is the case since you don’t have evidence of his intentions”. There’s a difference.

My wife’s oldest friend and her husband live near him and run a business. He is a client of theirs. The consensus of feeling around there is, Not a very pleasant person. He certainly isn’t one of their favourite customers.

The problem is everything Schofield has said has been proven to be a lie, and everything he’s alleged to have done by insiders has proven to be true.

The difference between his situation and yours is your wife wasn’t 34 years your junior and you weren’t in a position of authority over her whilst portraying to be a happily married man.
