David Coote | Charged with making indecent video of a child (p57)

I actually felt really sorry for him tbh. Whoever leaked the klopp video is a absolute c--t of the highest order. There is no need to totally destroy someone's life for self gain. A couple of quid from the paper changed hands I presume.

Klopp was and is a total prick and he's allowed an opinion. He was foolish... But it's really much ado about nothing.

The coke video, from what I saw you couldn't even tell it was him and so I would have denied it. But even that, nobody deserves there life to be wrecked for snorting a bit of coke.

But the kids thing..... Obviously unforgivable and says more about a person than those videos ever did.

Collingham had one infamous nonce and he passed away 6 months ago.

Didn't realise there were potentially others.
 
This seems very strange to me - charged for having 1 photo? We can all speculate on how it might have got there, but he's pleaded not guilty so let's see what comes of his day in court - though, with the media/social media being what it is, his reputation and future are probably damaged beyond repair anyway even if he wins his case.

Hasn't he been charged with "manufacturing" a photo?
 
They normally have 1,000s so one could be a set up by someone who accessed his phone and grassed him.

I will reserve judgement, it is highly believable but I'm not sure yet.
Aye, it's a bit strange. Downloaded one and then thought "Nah, not for me."

“Making” which basically means downloading. Technically speaking your computer ‘makes’ a photo every time you download it. Hell, if your phone is set up right, every time someone sends you a picture on WhatsApp it could appear in your photos folder and technically you’ve ‘made’ it. It doesn’t mean actually standing there with the camera, but it’s named in quite an unuseful way.

When all this came out the press were saying he "Manufactured" which has a different meaning even in IT, shows how shit our press is.

I agree mate the terminology doesn't make it easy at all.

Wasn't the charge regarding him making the material, not possessing?

I guess someone could stitch someone up in terms of possessing, but if they've investigated and charged you for actually making it, it means they've usually got something solid.

Let's see. We're all guessing until we know any details.

I see. Well that adds more clarity to my post just above.

Very stange terminology though isn't it? Even if it's factually correct from how you explain it. It's still quite misleading I think.

I haven't read that - here's the report I followed:-

Coote has been charged with a Category A offence which relates to a video file recovered by officers in February 2025.
Category A is the most serious of the categories.
The charge of making an indecent image of a child refers to activities such as downloading, sharing or saving abuse photos or videos.

The day he was charged one of the news channels I think it was mentioned it, I remember because I thought it was a word that suggested printing or even filming a crime.

I can't think of one reason how that shit can land on a piece of equipment anyone owns without running to the police straight away with it if someone sent it to you in malice.

Looks bad for him and if guilty rightly so.

Yeah seemed strange to me too. 1 photo doesn't seem prolific. Maybe he had more. In which case he should be locked up forever.

But why are they calling it making the indecent image? Has he actually made it? Or is it to get maximum sentence for him and ensure a conviction?
