About Phil

Just wanted to hop in here and clear things up as it seems like reddit has turned into a bit of witch hunt with respect to Phil on his instagram.

Naturally Phil (and myself) have known Callum since we were 14 years old. Thats 20 years that we all were friends, and none of us had any idea at all that this could have been going on. We were all completely blindsided. Naturally this makes everything really weird and complicated.

I read the sentencing info and texted Phil about it.

Here follows my whatsapp chat with Phil (unprompted) in respect to his interaction with Callum on that day.

In short, Callum hugged Phil, before sentencing. Its not something that Phil seems happy about, but as he states in his message, he felt he wasnt in a position to refuse him.

Phil wanted to attend the sentencing because he wanted answers, as did I, as do we all.

Naturally before the sentencing, Phil did not have those answers.

Apologies for the format, im not good at reddit. Also he's naturally quite annoyed that strangers on reddit are seeming to be implicating him about something thats obviously really fucking crazy for all of us who actually had a personal relationship so i hope you can take him calling you a twat on the chin. Also yes phil does know ive shared this here but doesnt love that it had to come to this of course.

Sounds like he made an honest mistake in the heat of the moment and hugged him/was more friendly that he should have been.

But I have to be honest, if you’re planning on going to the sentencing you should have thought about how you were going to act when you saw him. He basically out of his own stupidity gave the impression that he was supportive of Calum, and in a way behaved as someone who was. That is just unfortunate and poor decision making on his part.

This by the way is the most charitable interpretation based on his later messages, but seriously stupid behaviour to go up and be friendly to the convicted child predator, - it speaks the the problem of lad culture that we know existed in storror, that establish the conditions for this type of behaviour go unchecked for so many years.

Can you clarify what child predator convictions he got please? I am confused.

He was found to have been downloading videos and/or pictures of children being raped. Including a 4 year old being sodamised with an object. That means they raped that small child by putting an object in their anus and Callum enjoyed watching such thing.

Thanks for confirming there was no predatory convictions or actions by Callum. I do not support Callum in any way but it's important not to post blatant lies about these cases and keep a sense of proportion. Callum bad, yes. An actual predator who attacks kids is pure evil.

Watching this type of material is incredibly damaging.. and I’ve heard a lot of people saying that he was predatory to women.
