The dissimilarity is uncanny, even as the age disparity unnerving. For one is 57, whilst the other is childhood years of 15. But he who is 57, is a married closeted homosexual, whilst he who is 15, represents a naive schoolboy. But being closeted meant it was a secret to all, including his wife and adult children. However, he who is 15, of childhood innocence, idolises he who is 57. Where this is the underpinning reason—He who is 15 craves a career in the television industry, whilst he who’s 57 is the acclaimed British Talk Show host—Phillip Scofield.
Which meant, with television royalty counted a confidant, he who is 15 sought advice on avenues into the industry. And with advice sought. Advice was delivered. But Phillip Scofield is conning, having much more than advice to fulfil. As a result, with grooming paramount, he shouldered the responsibilities of being both a caring mentor and job provider. However, this adage the schoolboy soon faced—There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. Which meant, Schofield yearned for sexual payback. So payback he sought. Sought with sexual advances to the teenage boy, now 19. Advances, demanding his pound of flesh, for his 4yrs of investment. Of which the teenaged boy complied. Over. And over. And over. And over….
A painful story
The dissimilarity is uncanny, even as the age disparity unnerving. For one is 49, whilst the other is childhood years of virgin 15. But he who’s 49 is a heterosexual disciple of Eros, whilst she who’s 15, is a naive Indigenous schoolgirl. However, his worship of Eros was never a secret, for once in the sacred Parliament, in erotic dildo linguistics, he expressed undying admiration. But despite such unparliamentary Eros admiration, and history of refractory libidinous urges, no reprimand was forthcoming, thus the escalation we saw.
And the escalation was stupendously staggering, with she who’s 15, making multitudinous iniquitous allegations, against he who’s 49. Iniquitous allegations so chronicled, that it made for painful reading. Made for an excruciating ordeal. Made for lifelong misery. For she alleges, he treated her like if she were his paid for prostitute. Of forced oral sex. Of forced vaginal sex. Of forced anal sex. Of grooming. Of abuse of power. Of rape. Of sodomy. Of obstruction of Justice.
Mark’s Take
Which takes us to this most painful of semantics. Grooming. Grooming representing a disparity in power. Grooming representing a disparity in age. Grooming representing a disparity in social standing.
Grooming, as defined by the NSPCC, represents the establishing of a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person, with the intent to manipulate, exploit and abuse. Manipulate, exploit and abuse for the purposes of sex or trafficking. Where consequential to these abuses, are the physical and mental scars;
Anxiety and depression
Eating disorders
Post Traumatic Stress disorder
Difficulty in managing stress
Self harm
Suicidal ideations
Sexual Transmitted Infection
Pregnancy
Feelings of shame and guilt
Drugs and alcohol abuse
Difficulty in interpersonal relationships.
Thus, Phillip Scofield we revisit. For it’s without doubt he groomed, he who was 15. And for this reason, he rightly lost all. For he was terminated by his employer, ITV. His 40yr Talk Show Host career came to a humiliating conclusion. His boss, the CEO of ITV, was compelled to testify to the Parliamentary Committee on Culture. He lost £millions in endorsement. He lost his Charities. And he was publicly humiliated.
But then we recall the Kwame McCoy tapes. For I’ve heard the tapes. You’ve heard the tapes. The ABC Embassies have heard the tapes. For what they, and we heard, was beyond reasonable doubt. For what they heard, meant his visas were summarily revoked. For what we heard was a voice indistinguishable from Kwame McCoy’s. A voice beseeching an underaged schoolboy for sexual favours. Rape. A voice reassuring a petrified virgin schoolboy, of a gentle sexual induction. But unfortunately that was the last we heard, with it having found its way under the proverbial carpet.
Which means, all eyes are on Freedom House. All eyes, demanding to see a Phillip Scofield type accountability, rather than a Kwame McCoy outcome.
However, pessimistic we are. Pessimistic having seen this PPP cycle, way too often—Our teenage children undressed, with their ordeals ultimately covered up. Thus, this our question, is PPP the People Pedophilia Party?
