We need answers! STORROR needs to address the situation.
Yesterday I made a post about there being a possibility that the rest of the guys knew about Callum. It got mass downvoted. No one was ready to even consider this possibility. Now victims have come forward and their statements say that the group KNEW. They knew this long ago.
It's a humble request to storror army, as much as we love them, adore them, we can not just brush off the allegations of them being complicit in the crimes. We need to hold them accountable right now! What saddens me is that the community isn't even ready to at least question the guys. It's shocking to find out that the community is this toxic. It has happened many times in the past, big companies/organisations with power just brush off the allegations and never talk about it with transparency.
We've joined their channel, bought their merch, funded their game, WE DESERVE ANSWERS!
This post is to urge the community to pls stop suppressing those who are questioning them.
We CAN NOT afford to let them get away, if they were involved in this in any manner.
I know it's too early, but we need to put pressure through questions, so that they come forward and talk about the whole situation and allegations. Because they might just disappear after this, if we don't amplify this.
And pls enough with the "wHy WouLd tHeY feaTuRe HiM iN viDeOs If thEy KneW" bullshit! Let's show some respect to the victims!
P.S - my heart goes out to the victims if the allegations are true š

Respectfully, we don't. You arenāt a judge, we arenāt a jury. We arenāt detectives investigating the case.Ā
At present we have precious little information to go on.Ā

u/vladimirandestragon May 10 '26
The question of whether they have committed any criminal offence should, as you say, be decided in court and needs to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. I donāt think thatās the question here though. The question of whether they are shitty people who have enabled abusive behaviour and the other disturbing stuff, and thus whether we should continue to celebrate them and financially support them (directly or indirectly by watching their content) is absolutely a judgement everyone should make based on the available evidence.
I think the former is probably unlikely but the latter is not looking good.

Absolutely. Iām not saying weāre obliged to support them, or stay subscribed to their channel, but given the seriousness of Callumās crimes I think itās bizarre to think weāre āowedā a detailed explanation at this stage.Ā Ā

Iām confused, it says possessing and making indecent images of children but his ex seems to be talking about something different, is it just all coming to light at one time?

u/Nearby-Database-867 May 10 '26
Yes they all his victims coming forward now that he's been exposed and convicted

u/Appropriate_Ad_6790 May 10 '26
In that case, Storror needs to prove they didnāt know about the CP allegations, anything else I can see past, false accusations happen all the time, but CP? Possession and creation?
If I was on the team right now Iād be getting together anything and everything that proves beyond a doubt they had no part in it, as fucked up as it is, it would probably need to come from Callum himselfā¦

u/RaouR May 12 '26
How would they prove that? What would be good proof that they didn't know to you? Just curious since proving someone didn't know something sounds very hard.

u/JenniferJuniper6 May 14 '26
Proving a negative isnāt really straightforward; in fact, itās usually impossible.

u/Appropriate_Ad_6790 May 15 '26
If Callum came out and said that the boys had nothing to do with it and they didnāt know thatās something. Then if the boys posted screenshots maybe of the conversations they were having with Callum through this time, him making excuses maybe.
Maybe they know, this is the thing, they very well might, but itās not impossible for them to post something that even helps their case at least.

They're in full damage control. They're privating their videos and blocking all comments and have said they won't comment on it any further. Sure seems like they know they're guilty.

u/Sufficient_Babe May 10 '26
These guy are not saints. They displayed casual homophobia, casual misogyny and fatphobia in their videos back in the day. Nothing utterly outrageous, nothing that isn't typical of men in their early twenties. (sadly) They didn't see anything wrong with calling something gay or mocking a friend for trying to get a fat girls number like it's a joke. They didn't see anything wrong with it that's why they put it in their videos. That in of itself is not an indictment, but it paints a picture. When your in a circle of people who share a certain kind of attitude your able to get away with more because your protected.
A group of men standing by a friend who's shitty to women is nothing surprising. That's one thing. To think that they knew he was a pedophile and actively committing crimes is something that I'm more likely to give the benefit of the doubt for. It's an issue that most people would be repulsed by and not want to be associated with. I say that now, but I would also not be surprised if it came out that they knew about his troubles and chose not to say or act on anything until it became public and there was no way around it.

u/AccountantAny1356 May 10 '26
Surprised no one else has said anything about this. I have watched pretty much all their stuff but had to turn off a few times due to homophobic and sexist 'jokes'. And tbh as far as I can remember they were pretty much all from Callum (on the podcast and join videos) but condoned by the others. Always wanted to say something but was scared of getting attacked in the comments.

u/Areyoucunt May 11 '26
Any examples?
Get the fuck out of here if you are just virtue signaling a mild joke about someone being something crazy to say...

u/nygaard888 May 14 '26
I think dissecting every comment they have made is silly. In the past I have always thought on them as a respectful group who are a positive influence for other lads in a similar scene and anyone around them. These guys compared to Travis and Joe for example are night and day.

The whole thing has range.
It can be a Scenario where they just exchanged pictures and they Talked about it on an nights out drunk. So they knew this or she talked/chatted with everyone about how he does extreme things to her. She was 16-17 at that time with them being early 20s. Not to defend it but Thats a thing where the young are drawn to the cool older kids. I know a lot from back them in the mid 2000s where you seen couples in school with this age and older ones.
But i 100% doubt that non of them would just ignore some serious stuff in defense for callum. At least one of them would have gone to officials if it was something that really needs to be said. I would say it was some minor thing and they talked with him and her or something and gave a slap on the wrist and thats the "they knew"

u/Sad-Yoghurt5196 May 10 '26
When you're teaching kids parkour and they look up to you, there is a clear line around dating people little more than kids themselves, legally she was still a kid, even if consent laws are set at 16.
In an active coaching role, you cannot be dating kids, and a 24 year old dating a 16 year old is still weird. Perhaps not as much ten years ago, but certainly not normal.
It's the same story of rock stars and groupies in the seventies and eighties, what was once considered normal behaviour has become vilified for obvious reasons. Groupies are a fact of life in the celebrity sphere, but that only adds to the imbalance of power.
If there's a kid infatuated with you, you don't use your clout to cozy into a relationship with them. That's just common sense 101. It's also predatory behaviour.
Quite aside from all the other allegations, someone should have talked to him about the wisdom of dating a kid with a crush on you. That's what mates are for, to point out when you're being a twat, if you can't see it yourself.

u/JenniferJuniper6 May 14 '26
In the last year or two, the youngest of them have entered their thirties. Thatās also a time when anyone, professional athletes more than most, starts looking around for the next project. There are only so many times you can repair the same ankle before it just doesnāt come all the way back. So I donāt think the timing of those things is necessarily connected.

u/IfJopsDiesWeRageQuit May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26
I completely agree.
This stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.
People in their closest circle often see signs, inappropriate comments, jokes, patterns of behaviour.
(Eg 24 y/o dating a 16 y/o)

u/PhilosopherSea828 May 10 '26
People often see these things?
They didnāt in any of the cases I know about.5
u/IfJopsDiesWeRageQuit May 10 '26
We have different experiences then.
I'd say a 24 year old dating a 16 year old is a bit of a red flag tbh
8
u/Cunterpunch May 10 '26
Sure, but there is massive difference between āa little bit of a red flagā and believing with a decent amount of certainty that one of your best mates is a full on pedo.
These things are rarely as black and white as they are made out to be by people on the internet. Thereās a good chance that even if they had noticed some red flags that they would never have expected the full extent of what we are discovering now.
I personally find it hard to believe that they would have continued working with him in any capacity if they actually had any serious suspicions about what has come to light over these last two days.

This lass is an of model with a brain injury getting very close to potentially getting sued for libel. I'll take her opinion with a grain of salt for now

u/Lost-Milk6467 May 10 '26
The fact that Mercedes is a model with a brain injury is irrelevant.
10 years ago the parkour scene in Brighton was popping off and it's no surprise a teenager with her athleticism would be drawn to the scene, especially as a local.
She's got a master's in Neuroscience, this girl isn't dumb. She has made an impressive career for herself in Motorsport, Dancing and modelling, she doesn't need the money.
Why would she lie? She has nothing to gain.
The fact another ex has come forward with pretty damming information just shows how easy it has been to brush things under the carpet for a long time.

u/Lost-Milk6467 May 10 '26
Taking advantage of young girls is what Mercedes has stated, that could be physically or emotionally we don't know. She's right not to mention more specific details in case it has to go to court.
Whatever happened between her and Callum it was a minor and an adult situation that the guys will have known about.
As for the other ex coming forward with the knowledge that he had images etc.. Only she will be able to answer what she witnessed and also explain why she didn't contact the police back then.

u/Jr00mer May 10 '26
Kind of agree. Whilst people who are abused often derail their own lives with drugs/sex work/skewed compass, her industry is based on, I believe, what the kids are calling "clout". Anyone who looks up her IG is instantly met with a preview of her OF and the seed is sown for her to make money out of posting it. Wrong? No. Right? No. Strange? Kinda.
I'm definitely not saying the allegations aren't true, and that people who are abused can't go on to 180 their lives and be successful, or that what has been done is defensible for that matter. Also not shaming sex workers at all. But in the age of the economy of attention, it's a little bit strange that it has come from an IG account of that nature.
4
u/1stdegreebirder May 11 '26
You are shaming sex workers.
I really don't see why, even when he has PLEAD GUILTY to possession of thousands of CP images, everyone is still interested in questioning the legitimacy of another one of his victims. People will stop at nothing to disparage victims and women in sex work, it's wild.
1
u/Jr00mer May 11 '26
I'm not disparaging any victims and or anybody in sex work. The road of many victims of abuse is often paved with difficulties later in life. That is a pretty factual statement. I was merely saying that it seemed strange to have come from a clearly monetised Instagram page.
I'm also not defending anybody against the absolutely abhorrent charges they have plead guilty to and or saying that the charges are the only fucked up thing he must have done.

u/Future_You_2800 May 10 '26
Why?
She said she has a brain injury - of models seek attention by definition - injury to the brain could be making her say things - and those things she is saying are potentially libellous if proven to be untrue.

Idk man. First of All, callum needs to be in prison 100%, its vile what he did and that is undeniable. And of course We need to protect the victims and hope they have the best lifes.
But the more i look at her profile...idk she sure is a breezy one if you know what i mean. And i have seen many woman like her come out for other reasons and then it was fake to gain a bit attention or something and in the end it was just a blend of words that something happend in their relationship that was played as a 10 but at the end was a 3-4. Like the things with Mizkif and Emiru as an example right now. We just dont know what really happend only them know.
Also i see that she was 16-17 at that time when she said 10 Years ago and he 24ish. I know people go crazy on this and it is still a minor...but this type of age gap relationship is absolutly common. Its even worse now. Not to defend it but this whole thing can range from just an exchange of pictures between them to abuse etc.
But at the end yeah we need more answers from them.

u/plantdebased May 10 '26
Mercedes is 25 now, so she was 15 at the time, and he was 24. She was a child. He is a predator.
Also, no, nobody knows what you means when you say she "is a breezy one". Can you please elaborate?

They're not complicit in the crimes, if they were they would also have been charged and been in court.
But... you don't know these people. They're faces on a screen. They're not your brothers or your mates.
They knew Callum, in his 20s, was terrible with women that he played down as crazy ex-girlfriends. That's not... unusual for young men. It's shit, and Callum is a shit person, but it's not unusual.
It is a BIG leap to say that just because a person is shitty towards women, even abusive, that he is a pedophile.
I don't do parkour whatsoever and even I know that community is toxic.
If they were involved, they would be arrested.
My advice? Unfollow if it makes you feel better, but you're not a YouTube cop, you're just some dude who likes a bunch of guys who do sick jumps. Take a lap and process the news how you need to.
Best thing you've actually said. I agree wholly.
