I think the important opinion is that of the Police who say nothing criminal took place. Even as I type millions of consenting adults will be doing the same thing and nobody in the media cares
Man watches porn - that's not the story though, is it?
The (alleged) story is man spends 35k on buying porn pictures from one person - which for anyone brings into question their judgement or levels of obsessions regarding the seller.
Plus, potentially, married man also is active on dating websites and is accused of breaking lockdown rules to meet much younger person (who he is alleged to have given monetary gifts).
The ridiculousness of people (Jonathan Pie or on here) saying the story is 'man watches porn' is deliberately ignoring that the story is about a much older man is showering young people with gifts for sexual gratification. That is not what "most" 60 year olds do. And that's before you add in the potential of him leading of a double life as a married man.
Now, if all the above points are proven to be nonsense, then the outrage about it being reported is justified. But if not, what is surprising about such odd behaviour from an old public figure being in the news?
As i said earlier, I couldn't care less if he is back on TV next week (or not). But to argue that it is not outlandish and always going to be reported on is mad.
