One worrying aspect :
now that ex-policeman
Mark Williams-Thomas has been named in court as a man prepared to sell the names and contact details of alleged victims, the very notion that he should be holding seminars and presenting himself as an expert on
"child abuse" is a disgrace,
Those who attend and host MWT at these times need to be looked at carefully.
There is the potential for real legal problems for all involved.
A court has found MWT to be highly suspect when it comes to protecting the anonymity of victims. He should be subject to Criminal Background Checks.
Just as others who are accused but found innocent no longer find they can work as teachers because they too end up on CBC data base, remember Mark Williams-Thomas was accused of
blackmail and prosecuted.(he keeps removing this from his Wikipedia page..despite someone including it as soon as it disappears...this is a man who has no trouble reminding those who may have been convicted decades ago. The public has a right to know his history)
While he was found
Not Guilty..the facts presented were not disputed. A jury found that there was reasonable doubt it was blackmail.
His ethics as a "journalist" were found to be wanting.
I suppose though we will have to await the trial of
"Nick" to see whether some coppers aided in 'Nick ' in his actions.
As Tim Fenton of the Zelo Blog often says...
"squeaky bum time" for many people.
