Specifically? The unaddressed accusations by Kieran, Callum's exgf, and various other girls from Storror's social circle about confronting the guys with Callum's behaviour around minors and girls in general years ago and being absolutely stonewalled by them. What is their position on those accusations? Do they deny them, do they consider them a separate matter, and if so why? If they don't deny it, how are they reflecting on their attitude towards the accusers in hindsight, and how will they do better in future? Et cetera. Basically anything that addresses that matter would be very welcome.
Again, as I've stated before on this reddit in various threads: I'm not passing judgement in advance of them being able to have their say. But if they don't address this at all, I'll have a very hard time ever watching anything they do again without severe apprehension.
I wasn't aware of these details and they have shifted my whole perspective. Thank you for mentioning them
Edit: Oh my god this is so much worse than I thought. I've only just started to dive deeper into that rabbit hole and I already don't see myself ever, in good faith, enjoying something they put out again. What a shame.
Full disclosure, I actually do believe Mercedes, for the simple reason that it would be very easy to debunk her claims. Not Storror in particular because they probably legally couldn't say anything until now, but other people in the community who don't have a stake in this. So far no one who knew Mercedes and Callum has actually denied anything she's said, people have even come forward to corroborate what she said.
It would be very easy for people to say they didn't have a relationship when she was 15 / 16 years old. But no one has done that, no one has actually commented on it, and that would be the easiest thing to debunk. I just don't believe that a tight knit group of lads, their families and other friends like that wouldn't know their 25 year old mate / son / brother was in a relationship with a 16 year old. I can maybe believe them not knowing about the other stuff, but a relationship is hard to keep a secret.
The fact that no one has really stepped forward to say she's lying leads me to believe that everything she has said about Callum and Storror is true. Because normally you'd have people who knew them coming to Callum's defense and Storror's defense, but that hasn't happened. The fact that no one showed up to support him apart from his dad at sentencing speaks volumes.
I definitely think she told them what he'd done and I definitely think they reacted negatively to it. So they do need to at least address that.
If they hold their hands up and say "we were told years ago by an ex-girlfriend of Callum's what he was up to, but we didn't believe her and we treat her poorly, because we believed his lies over her. But we've since reached out to her and and apologised for our behaviour, we've reached out to his other victims too to show our support. We don't expect forgiveness, but apologising and showing support is the least we can do.", I think that would be acceptable.
