A bin bag seems an odd receptacle for photos. They would surely get crushed. It seems to imply that the contents were 'dirty' and that there were a lot of them.
Clifford's Wikipedia entry says she is his former PA and that they married in 2010. You'd think she would have got an inkling of this side to his character, unless it was a whirlwind marriage, but these articles suggest otherwise
2008 Max Clifford: fame and fortune "Now I've been living with Jo for the past couple of years and we'll get married in a few years I imagine."

1. The letter existed and was in court plus the copy at a different location that Jo had. Motive of real concern etc. So most of this part would be true and makes sense even.
2. Black bin liner sounds real bizarre. People can have "moments" and also be bizarre on a regular basis. I wrote an Amazon Kindle Book on the trial of Max Clifford. And everything I heard and read around the trial did not show any signs of bizarre behaviour on the part of Max Clifford. The odd clip of Jo seems to show him respecting her and my understanding of the divorce is she got a bit and no arguments. So no bizarre behaviour either in sexual actions or other. And people are reasonably consistent in behaviour. Jo Westwood I have no information on and thus she did not form part of the trial or book. So Jo teaming up with MWT and talking about a black bin liner does indicate a step, well and truly in the wrong direction. I think the black bin liner and all those secrets etc was an exaggeration on the part of MWT to aid his documentries so he could make more money. ("The stories" at the trial were of course of extreme bizarre behaviour. And they would even out do the couple of geniune cases I have read of recently. The doctor taking a strong interest in young boys while examining them and the other one was the teacher smelling feet. Odd stuff indeed)
3. Jo shocked at the sentence. That sounds more normal. Jo does seem to waver between decent and expected reasonable behoviour to something some men may prefer to be without.
As to Max Clifford I personally have no idea. JK you will have to ask him why he got on your case and that of Gary Glitter. If his autobiography is to be believed he only went for stories that were going to come out anyhow and basically managed them. But what people say and what they do is often very different. I wrote the book because I was appalled at the stories and no evidence. And the information was in the media. Not like a number of other trials I am concerned about but can not do anything about. The one that got me to watching more closely was the conviction of Liam Adams. The judge said because his daughter told such a convincing story. That was the evidence full stop. Even Gerry Adams was never considered as reliable witness.
