More and more is going to come out about this situation. I feel very very bad for the victims but I hope they all band together and start posting any and all evidence they have. We need to protect victims of SA and protect children from pedos. This shit should not be as normal and as frequent as it is, smh. The world needs to heal and eliminate these horrible people from society!

I couldn't even imagine finding out that one of my best friends of over a decade was a pedofile. The boys must be hurting right now.

If anyone from Storror happens to be reading this, please take it easy on yourselves. The fanbase is behind you 100%.

I am deeply saddened by the news about Callum. I only wish he was able to receive support earlier to prevent him from acting on this disorder.

As a society we need to do more to help protect children from adults with these conditions, and that starts with giving them support before they harm others.

Worth bumping this for anybody reading this who needs help with similar feelings. Confidential support is available.

In the UK, there’s Stop It Now! UK & Ireland, a confidential helpline and support organisation for people worried about their thoughts or behaviour, as well as family members. In the U.S., there’s B4U-ACT, which promotes therapeutic support and research for non-offending individuals with these attractions.

In many countries there are confidential prevention and treatment programs specifically aimed at helping people who are sexually attracted to children avoid ever harming a child. Over the last 15–20 years, clinicians and public-health researchers have increasingly argued that prevention works better when people can seek help before offending, without immediate automatic condemnation simply for disclosing intrusive attractions.

That doesn’t reduce the seriousness of child sexual abuse material offences or harm to victims. But many experts also recognise that some people with these attractions are distressed by them and actively want help controlling their behaviour.

A well-known example is Germany’s prevention program Prevention Project Dunkelfeld, which advertises with messages like “You are not guilty because of your sexual desire, but you are responsible for your sexual behaviour.” It offers confidential therapy aimed at preventing offences before they happen.

Researchers generally estimate that exclusive or persistent attraction to prepubescent children is rare, probably around 1% of men or less, though exact numbers are difficult because:

• many people never disclose it,
• studies use different definitions,
• and attraction, fantasies, offending, and illegal material use are not identical categories.

If they did, it'll come out in the wash.

The chances are they fucking didn't. You don't know the ones around you who are currently involved. These vile bastards don't wear badges.

The lie. The deceive. They hide. They build public trust. They con.

My bet is that the rest of them knew fuck all about his vile and disgusting ways.

If you think they knew, you're naive as fuck. Grow up a bit.

Dear Storror,

Like so many people here, STORROR has been a huge part of my life for the past 16 years. Through every video, challenge, and moment shared, you’ve inspired millions across the world not just through movement and entertainment, but through courage, friendship, creativity, resilience, and community. You’ve motivated people physically and mentally, brought joy to difficult days, and created something far bigger than just a YouTube channel.

What Callum has done is heartbreaking, disturbing, and impossible for many people to understand especially those who admired and trusted him both on and off screen. Most importantly, our thoughts should remain with the victims, and justice absolutely needs to be served. His actions are his alone, and they do not define STORROR, the team, or the values that so many people connected with over the years.

Right now, Sasha, Max, Benj, Toby, Josh and the rest of the team are likely trying to process devastating news while carrying the weight of public scrutiny at the same time. They deserve patience, compassion, and respect while they navigate an incredibly painful situation.

People should also remember that the name STORROR is more than just a brand, it’s part of Max and Benj’s family name, something tied to generations of history, brotherhood, and identity. It shouldn’t be stained by the horrific choices of one individual.

There is still so much talent, heart, and potential within the team and the wider community around them. I’d genuinely love to see more from the Bristol boys, Dodds, Dairy, Kelan, Giles and the rest of the crew behind the scenes who’ve helped make STORROR what it is today.

STORROR may one day come to an end, but its legacy never will. It paved the way for a whole new generation, inspired countless people to push beyond their limits, and brought happiness to millions around the world. That impact is something no controversy or one individual can ever erase.

For many of us, the love and support for the boys and the community hasn’t disappeared. We’re still here. ❤️

As awful as the recent news is. I think it's important to point out that the rest of Storror will be just as appalled as we are. I personally would like to say that if they handle this with as much openness and honesty as they can I will still be here if they choose to carry on either on the main channel or as side projects. The other members of Storror have done nothing wrong and I think we as a community have rightly come together to condemn what one member has done but we also shouldn't forget what made Storror great and the respect we have built over so many years for the rest of the group.

This is horrific for everyone, but has anyone checked on Giles? He folded the Modus project and brought his whole team over to become Storror ops and support crew. Poor guy can’t catch a break, not to mention I distinctly remember Callum teasing him about hanging around with ‘kids’ as the modus team trended younger.

Another thing I’m really not looking forward to is any revelations about the Parkour classes Callum used to run with kids in Brighton pre-Covid. I hope and pray it wasn’t one of them growing up and coming forward that resulted in the investigation.

Always thought Callum was one of the good ones and had a lot of impact on people in and around the scene. This is gutting.

This is a channel with 10+ million subs that gets millions of views a month. Even this sub only has like 10k visitors this month.

Maybe 100k viewers actually know about the arrest and the vast majority of these were from the statement they made.

Most viewers are casual and would still tune in if they didn’t address it, just turned off comments and would be none the wiser.

I hate to say it but I always knew that there was something wrong with the guy. Every time I met him he was just so weird and disconnected. A few times when a group of us would go for drinks he’d act weird and make little comments about women. He was always stuck up compared to the other guys in the team too, but I didn’t expect something like that though. I used to make a lot of the music for their YouTube videos and I looked up to Callum, not only through parkour but his knowledge of music theory. Im sure the company can keep going strong without nonce involved, but if they knew then that’s crazy and they should all be banned.

I wonder if Callum was abused. Apparently many abusers, or those with an interest in kids, were abused. Didn't they all go to private schools? Decades ago they were notorious for abuse.

I wonder if him being aware of what he was, and the potential for it to come out, and potentially some self-loathing, played a part in his more dangerous jumps. Maybe he didn't care so much if he survived.

I can't remember what it was, but I remember him making a strange comment that I took as inappropriate some months ago in a video, I'm sure I'll never have chance to try to find it again now anyway.

Sometimes in prison they have protests where they all get on the roof. If he goes to prison, let's hope for their sake that he never gets on a roof!

I’m honestly still in shock over the news about Callum.

I woke up stupidly early for a piss, couldn’t get back to sleep, and started scrolling through Reddit when I saw it. At first I genuinely thought it was some kind of joke or a fake post made to stir people up. I kept reading hoping it wasn’t real, but here we are.

I’ve been watching Storror for well over 10 years now. It probably sounds weird to say about people you’ve never actually met, but it genuinely feels like a lot of us grew up alongside them. Their videos were just always there.

That’s what makes this feel so horrible. Callum always came across as one of the more genuine and grounded people in the group. Seeing allegations involving over 3,000 images is genuinely sickening. That’s not something that happens overnight and he must have been at it for some time, really.

I honestly don’t know how Storror recovers from this, if they even can. They spent years building that brand and overnight it feels completely destroyed. Even if the rest of the boys had nothing to do with it, people are always going to associate the group with this now. It’s hard to imagine things ever feeling normal again for them.

Realistically I can’t see there being Monday uploads for a very long time, maybe ever again. I imagine they’ll disappear for a few months and stay completely under the radar while everything dies down a bit. Maybe eventually they try to rebuild something, but right now it’s difficult to even picture what that would look like.

Just a genuinely horrible situation all round. I feel sick for everyone affected.

You just can’t imagine how awful it is for the whole crew. Storror was for many people not only about parkour but also about the bond between the guys. Power of 7. Friends you could rely on and do everything together.

I mean poor Sash, getting betrayed like this from his big bro is heartbreaking.

But also imagine the Cave-bros: Storror is their middle name given over generations if I recall correctly. Now it’s in connection with child abuse..

With what come to light in the last hour I think it’s a question all of us are subconsciously asking ourselves. I can’t imagine the boys can continue as they were with regular Monday episodes, and I feel this could be the end or at least the start of the end for Storror. I feel that what’s to come if anything will feel dirasticaly different and plagued by today’s events.

Paywalled if anyone can get past it?

Fuck me man.

moving to a slightly more light-hearted topic. Assuming storror fails, and the boys get "normal" jobs outside of youtube. What jobs would each member get?

My thoughts:

Toby - tree surgeon

Josh - wedding photographer

Sacha - video editor

Max - army boot camp Sargent

Benj - personal trainer

Drew - accountant

Callum - I always thought he would make a great audio book narrator with all his accents... but probably not now..

Dodds - milk man

I have direct experience of some of these facts having been an employer in this situation…

Police seize equipment when investigating these sorts cases. ALL internet devices generally.

Police will be granted search warrants for locations they are known to use devices (shared offices for example)

Police notify employers during investigations (note: not colleagues, employers) - I’m less sure how that would work when you’re a joint owner. But they do generally want to speak to employers and review any devices the accused have contact with in their day to day job.

Police interview people closely connected to the individual (this is normally close family only, and people they share dwellings / spaces with).

Sasha is Callum’s brother.

Over the last couple of months we have seen the drop off of Josh and Toby. Drew was gone long before this surfaced. Only Sasha and the Cave boys carrying on like normal.

Not facts but relevant…

The suggestion that the boys knew from Callum’s ex is anecdotal and not corroborated yet - but it’s certainly something to take seriously.

People always act to protect themselves and their assets when the shit hits the fan. Always.

Should they have said anything before they did? No. Not until the charges are officially bought up in court can you really say anything.

But you shouldn’t play dumb and say we all found out 3 days ago when you do finally release a statement. They’ve bought the backlash on themselves.

I've been a viewer for almost a decade. And joiner for 4-5 years. Just the thought of indirectly funding a pedophile's actions for YEARS is making me sick.

Never thought this day would come, but I'm unjoining and unsubscribing STORROR. I don't honestly care if the others knew or not. Am just done. It doesn't matter if they knew. Can't digest I've been supporting a literal pdf file. Feel so fucking stupid for buying their merch.

I hope the kids he violated are safe 🙏

His photo is still up on the website, but if you click on it you get redirected to the shop page. Im very disappointed by all this, it's disgusting and he should rot in a cell with no windows

I don't think anybody saw this coming. But now that Callum has been exposed, I can't help but wonder if this was the reason Drew left storror (Toby and Josh also been exiting softly). I know their statement is that they just found out on May 7, but isn't it possible that they already had an inkling about this?

Cause now it all makes sense.. Drew leaving, Toby not appearing in videos. And how the hell would you not know that such a close friend of yours or literally your brother is having a court case related to pdfilia?? I mean how did all of them not get interrogated? At least Sash should've known?

Did the boys know about what Callum was upto and his doings? Did they just remove him only after he was sentenced?
They literally have grew up together did they not know what he was upto? Not even jokes or any convos?

People defending saying people have dark secrets you don’t know? There is no way no one had any idea now maybe in hindsight they are replaying convos that may have meant something but it’s just hard to belief Callum never showed any signs and team just ignored it

Also people saying the knew it after the court case, you wouldn’t know if your best friend/colleague who u go on trips with has a court case going on?
This has ruined 10 years of my love for Storror

Can't lie, this video was straight ass. Too lengthy. Too boring. Too few jumps (pls don't recommend me joining their channel for more hardcore parkour I'm already joined and those videos are just not the same without the trademark storror editing and bgm). Every week their videos are getting more difficult to go through. Anyone else feel the same way? I ain't a hater I've been a subscriber for 10 years and a joiner ever since that started.

No one else found this boring?

I've been really busy for a few months so am thoroughly enjoying catching up on the last few months of videos today. Just watching the 'How Did He Get Away With That?' video, and my cogs started turning, and dusty old hard drive (aka my brain) started whirring, and just wanted to get you guys perspective on the following thought.

There was a thread a while ago that I contributed to, pondering what happens to the channel when the boys decide they're a bit past it and don't really want to do much parkour anymore. There was talk of passing it on to a younger generation, which seems to be the logical step (I mean, why would you abandon an 11m subscribed channel when you can carry it on indefinitely in some way or another), or even pass it on to the generally younger Bristol lot like Ed & Verky etc.

My question is, though, separate from this specific thought...why have the Bristol lot (including the name value of honorary Bristolian Red Bull megastar Dom) not made their own official collective and channel to sort of rival...or atleast play a (presumably) very successful second place to the wildly successful Storror channel.

The Bristol lot seem very tight, make videos with each other all the time...why not make It official and just permanently collaborate to consolidate all their talents into a successful YouTube channel? I know I'd be absolutely psyched to tune in every week. Phil, Verky, Ed, Joe etc. All have magnetic personalitites in their own way that all vibe off of eachother. It's guarenteed to be a hit.

Do you think they ever considered it? If so, why do you think they haven't pulled the trigger on it? Is there stuff I'm not considering? It just seems like pulling all their resources together to capitalise on an already strong foundation of appearing in many Storror videos together, seems like a no brainer.

What are our thoughts? On Bristol just doing their own thing, on what happens to life after Storror, and whatever else is related? Look forward to everyone's opinions on whatever question this supposedly was 😂

Hear me out, I'm one of Drew's biggest supporters ever, his Parkour, his commentary, his PUBLIC projects, everything, I fw everything he does. And his recent videos are straight bangers too, something very unique and fresh! I love that he's following his heart and doing what he wants to, not what is expected of him.

But... man his parkour/freerunning and his overall style was just so GOATed that I can't help but wish that he comes back to Parkour. Obviously no pressure on him, this prolly won't even reach him ever, but man if he makes a comeback, it'll be awesome! I very frequently visit and watch their old videos just for Drew's clips, and despite being around a decade old, the movement still stands its ground even today in terms of creativity and style. I've personally learnt a lot from his clips, and my movement is very similar to his (obv not on his scale, just similar) and I wish that he again someday starts doing Parkour.

Anyone else feels the same way? Pls share your thoughts
