No one knew that Freud was a paedo at the time, though maybe they should have had an inkling that he was a bit of a deviant considering his family background. Of course the association once this became known was manna from heaven to the sceptic community, I mean how much more evidence do you need that Gerry threw an abused child away in a bin than the fact that they were briefly acquainted with such a creep. It knocks all of CB’s actual paedo and rape convictions into a cocked hat dunnit. As for General Mischief, that is your full name surely? I know, I know don’t call you Shirley.
I'd go a bit further than that; his house was raided for child porn in 1995 - not surprisingly no charges were brought.
He was mentioned as being connected to the Elm Guest House, again, all of those cnuts have got away with it, due to half of them being in the Met or government.
He was a mate of Saville, again, his association was known for decades, but only came to light in 2012.
You could argue that, given they were to discuss missing children, a cursory background check may have been prudent if completely ignorant of the history. Easy to say with hindsight.
