NuPNuA,

So an adult man possibly spent his legally earned wages buying legal homemade porn from another consenting adult man. How is this an outrage, Hew can do what he wants with his own money.

palordrolap,

It's not clear from the news articles whether any pictures were even sent, let alone paid for.

The police determining there's no crime doesn't tell us that either.

For all we know, the whole thing is a dead cat to distract from other, more serious (or genuine) scandals that might be going on. Or to keep them out of the news cycle altogether.

Even if the allegations are true, and he's paid a ridiculous sum for some illicit filth, he really only has to explain his behaviour to his wife and family.

n2burns,

I was with you untill that last paragraph. If he solicited explicit photos from a minor, he has a lot more explaining to do than just to his wife and family.

The sun is now saying that they never claimed that he requested photos whilst he was a minor

palordrolap,

I was working on the assumption that if he solicited photos from a minor, that would have been a crime. Since no crime was found, ... etc.

n2burns,

Okay, that meaning didn’t get across because illicit means illegal.

dudebro,

I just think it’s funny.

luffyuk,

It’s a dead cat.

On the same day this news dropped, Boris Johnson failed to turn his phone in to the police.
