IMO, this is why this thread is here. It would have been very short if no one had attempted to defend him.
No it wouldn't because stephen (and others) kept manufacturing new ways of keeping the topic alive.
This thread was almost certainly promoted cos it had his name in big letters at the top. Publicity against him
The man has been sente4nced . His life is an absolute hell atm, his families too. Everything has been turned upside down, lost his home, lost his status, and friends shunning him ... probably lost his job ... and if he hasn't will he be able to face the abuse there?
Believe you me, I know this from counselling this bloke who had sinned in the same way, his life is hell and will likely remain so to some extent for the rest of his life.
Time to back off guys so that hopefully he and his family can rebuild some sort of life. He is serving his punishment, believe you me ... and so sadly, are they.
