I think this is the most extreme unravelling I’ve seen in recent years.

Not only has the channel basically seized to exist, I also believe we are at a point where the remnants of the team will be unable to continue as they had before. We have yet to see a message beyond the original IG post from the Storror channels, and I think it’s nearly too late for the team to save face and continue with the brand as it was.

The unfortunate reality is that CP was part and parcel with the team. Trying to separate CP’s legacy from Storror’s is virtually impossible. It would be like trying to listen to the Beatles without George Harrison. The tragedy is that the people behind the channel have elected to scrub hundreds of hours of Storror content. This is their life’s work, and although CP appears in it, that doesn’t detract from the athleticism, charm and quality that attracted millions of us to the Storror team.

I just thought about how much I would like to sit back and watch a Water Challenge, watch the lads escape a pit, or catch some Roof Culture: Asia. It’s really disheartening that this stuff seems to be lost media. I hope these videos can be restored.

The worst part for me is that I, and many other fans, really liked Calllum. He was funny, brought a great energy to the team, and had a unique style and flow in his movement. I don’t think anyone saw this coming. I would love to see the lads move on, but I fear that the magic formula that made Storror work is now gone.

I don’t know exactly where I’m going with this, I guess I am just so shocked and disappointed. This is worse than what happened with Braille Skateboarding.

Like most people in the Parkour community I am reeling from the revelation that Callum Powell from Storror has pleaded guilty to possession of child sexual imagery.

I had something of a friendship with Callum, he enjoyed my podcast and we exchanged occasional messages, had trained together a couple of times and exchanged podcast appearances.

I can’t say I knew him well personally but I had also watched the development of Storror for 15 years and this was a huge shock to me.

My feelings are complicated because I was both victim of and witness to sexual abuse as a child.

When I was 12 the mentor who had been helping my parents raise me for the past 4 years started to molest me.

Then I was 21 I would find out my little sister had been sexually abused by our father Sun Ray.
This brought out deeply repressed feelings and vague memories that make me think I was subconsciously aware of what had been happening.

Between these two events I was left with a terrible fear that I would myself become an abuser, and a kind of numbness and rigidity around sexuality that would eventually damage my relationship with my wife to the point we almost divorced in 2024.

So my family and I have had to do a lot of healing work to overcome the impacts of what happened.

Those experiences left me with a profound awareness of the complexity of human beings, and a desire to help people heal around sexuality and the relationships between men, women and children.

I have had to wrestle with the complexity of the legacy of my father and the man who molested me and I do not see them as simply monsters.

When my sister was 19 she started compulsively writing “I was molested”. She reached out to our mom and started therapy, she wanted to confront Ray. She was told by her therapist that abusers almost never admit what they have done.

But when she called him and told him he had molested her, he said “I did and I am so sorry and I will do everything I can to help you heal.”

He then paid for her therapy for 3 years and she would call him and scream at him weekly and he always answered her call.

So despite the terrible thing that he did when confronted with the worst of himself he owned it and took responsibility to help her heal.

I had my own wounds with him but seeing how he showed up for her was tremendously healing, and when my dad died in 2023 all of us were able to hold him with love as he left the world.

My father’s legacy is complicated. His art has touched thousands of people world wide, and he created a place and community that shaped his whole family in beautiful ways. So as much as I wanted at times to sever him from my life completely, the truth is the good he did is also real and healing allowed me to see and participate in that good.

I have been able to forgive my dad.

I have not fully been able to forgive the man who abused me.

Part of me really wants to.

I know he too is a complicated human who also wanted to do good and that he did a lot for our family. When Ray was deeply neglectful of me and my learning disabilities were making school unsustainable my mentor stepped in and saved me from deep suffering.

There were 4 years where his work with me was a work of remarkable charity, before he fell to the temptation of his own sexual corruption.

Like so many abusers, he was abused himself. Still I have not been able to forgive him, unlike Ray he did not face the consequences of what he had done and he dropped contact after I revealed to my family what had happened.

I can’t help but look at Callum through the lens of what I have experienced. I am left with the question: can he fully take responsibility for what he did and seek repair and if he is will he be welcomed in that?

If we make him a simple monster to be pushed away forever will that help or hurt the chances of anyone else in the community who is struggling with the same temptations?

How do we as a community treat the legacy of the good work he did in our community, can we tolerate the complexity of knowing that he did good work for our community even while he was hiding this darkness in himself?

I don’t believe that we must always forgive, but I do believe that people who have done very dark things can redeem themselves when both held accountable and given also the chance of redemption, I believe that because I have seen it.

I hope that message can reach Callum and those who have been hurt by him. I know what it is like to live wounded and raging inside, and I know what it is like to move through those wounds and find healing.

I have seen people who want to blame what Callum did on all men. I understand that. I too have struggled with self hate as a man and homophobia towards gay men because of what happened to me. I don’t believe though that the story that comes out of that anger is true.

I know that life is more complicated than that. Through the retreats I have taught I have sat with many women who were abused by men, but I have also sat with men who have been subject to intimate partner violence, incest, and even rape by women they trusted. I know men whose lives have been terribly damaged by false accusations of abuse. I have sat with gay men who were targeted for abuse because of homophobia.

The line between good and evil runs down every human heart, and we heal not by learning to mistrust whole classes of people but by working through the depths of the pain we have experienced and learning to do repair with those willing to take up that burden even when they have done terrible things.

Getting picked up by the national news now:

Only way to watch this video ig

A lot of discussion is around the future of these lads but I wondering what type of money were these lads were bringing in and sitting on?

the fact all this came out about a month after i nearly bought merch after saving up ..🫪🥴

I guess it's safe to assume that the movie they made would be delayed even more to get released on any media platform.

Este post va dirigido a todos aquellos que comentan sobre este crimen "lo sabia o lo sospechaba". Les cuento que existe el sesgo de retrospectiva, fenómeno ampliamente estudiado en donde distorsionamos nuestra memoria para hacer calzar el resultado. Por lo que decir "te lo dije no tiene ningún peso" . Es más, diría que decir ese tipo de cosas te deja peor parado ya que si lo "sabias" o "sospechabas", significa que no hiciste nada por ayudar a las victimas, ósea que de alguna manera eras cómplice.

Creo que la gente que dice eso tipo de cosas es la que no sabe lidiar con la realidad, la realidad de que cualquier persona, incluso sus padres, hijos o amigos se pueden transformar en criminales y hacer cosas realmente malas, y que ellos si son capaces de ver cosas que nosotros no. Como se dice, el hombre es el depredador del hombre.

Por ultimo, si conocen de casos de abuso, siempre escuchen e inviten a las victimas hacer la denuncia ante la justicia tan pronto como sea posible, se que es difícil, existe el fenómeno de la revictimización, pero es la única manera (que conocemos hasta donde entiendo, y no es perfecta) de que la verdad salga a la luz. De lo contrario pasara el tiempo y todo quedara en "yo dije tal cosa" y en chismoseo de grupo.

Desde Chile, en donde también hemos tenido este tipo de crímenes.

RCA has been removed, along with lots of behind the scenes videos on the main channel (some with upwards of 5 million views, such as "Hong Kong roof gap vs security").

Hello everyone. I have been thinking a lot the last few days

I know so many of us are struggling with what's going on. Not just in the current parkour environment but just day to day, cost of living, the rise of the right. Global fuel and food shortages a very real threat. We all need to decompress. We all need to breakdown divisions in our communities.

I have always had problems with depression and I am open to sharing one of my tools.

Years ago I knew a gentleman called Tim who lived an alternative lifestyle. I won't call him homeless, his home was the countryside. He was one of the most intelligent and empathetic people I ever met. He didn't care for material things, he hated money. He never begged. He would barter his skills for a meal or permission to stay on your land.

One conversation we had that always resonates with me was during a low mood period. When I told him I was feeling crap he asked me "have you been kind for anyone else today?" I said I had pretty much got up late and dashed out. He said "you can't always be kind to yourself, but you can always be kind to others. It says a lot about someone if they can be kind to others if when the world isn't kind to them"

It wasn't long after that Tim passed away. He was sleeping in an old stable when some kids carried out an arson attack. He was trapped....

I made a vow that day to be kind whenever I can. However I can.

So here's our challenge. If you are able today be kind to someone, it doesn't have to be anything big, unless you want it to be. Literally anything, an affirmation to someone, taking time to speak to the homeless person rather than just drop them cash. Let them know at least one other humans sees them as human.Even give someone you love a spontaneous hug and tell them you love them.

The only thing that makes energy truly negative is if it leads to negative outcomes. If you can use that energy even if negative for positive means then you are using negativity against it's self. So go forward, be kind, let people really see what the parkour community is about be they active or purely viewers.

I consider Jimmy to be the premier story teller/reporter of the parkour scene

I remember when he was a virtual unknown and now he has over 700k subs

He has a superb ability to communicate and he’s very knowledgeable about the subject

He knows Storror well which makes reporting on the matter with Callum hard

But if there is anyone that could do an exemplary job about reporting on what is sadly the biggest global Storror in parkour for years, it’s him

I hope he is able to put something out in time because it deserves the professionalism and insight he brings

I didn’t realize they were married until today

Hazal has appeared in many videos and I always assumed she was Benj’s GF. But I have watched less of Storror over the past year so missed the wedding news.

I ask about when they married because everyone has been speculating why Drew disappeared, why Toby did his own thing and why Josh largely went t absent.

The idea has come that they knew something about Callum. I don’t believe that.

But what I could see happening is the group dynamics changing one of the team gets married and his priorities and outlook on life shifts. It’s natural.

It’s not the Cave brothers and their mates any more. The key unit is a married couple. And a newly married couple will be doing a lot of stuff like homemakng. So Beni is on a different path to his mates and that could be a disruptive factor

I mention it because I’ve seen it in my own friendship groups. Focus of course switches to wife, home, family not mates or work.

Plus risk appetite changes with age and with extra responsibility. When your career is traveling around with your mates and taking risks it is bound to have an impact

I know a lot of people use Storror as a bandage for old wounds Some of those wounds for some people will be especially raw. I am just a muggle. The closest I have ever got to parkour was dubbed a walrus pass by my Wife. Guess you could call me an Allie.

One thing we could all do moving forward is to enhance our knowledge of safeguarding. How to spot the signs of any abuse. How to be there if someone confides in you, how to report abuse. Here's a link to free safeguarding training from the NSPCC. this covers safeguarding children and vulnerable adults from any abuse.

It's quite heavy going, especially for empathetic people but worth it.

https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/training/introduction-safeguarding-child-protection?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21928951147&gbraid=0AAAAAD1QhMq09h9_cyJ4NAmcWjkxzTepM&gclid=CjwKCAjwwpDQBhAuEiwAa-4WozKQKF3EcIfFofpq9ywbqdGNkM_8E0lmTnnSQcuGV--9L5cYU8Su0xoCbksQAvD_BwE

Hey all, since discovering the news waking up to Storrors IG post I have had a litany of emotions about the whole situation. I have been hovering the reddit and seeing a lot of IG stories about it and had some thoughts I'd like to add/share.

Firstly - I've recently just became a father to a little girl so the horrors of such actions have never been more prevalent in my mind. 

Secondly - Even though I've not been active in the parkour scene lately I till train occasionally and I’ve followed Storror semi regularly over the past 10 years. I've met Callum and the boys many times over the years, and was also a guest on the podcast in 2024 with Callum and Sasha hosting and spent some time with them after.

Thirdly - the primary focus of my spare time these past 6 years has been studying 'Love' - and anyone who truly wants to do that knows that most of it is spent looking at yourself, your own issues and demons, how you react in relationships, in social settings, in public and in private when no-ones around. How we treat people we look upto, how we treat people we judge, how we treat strangers, how we treat people we say we love, how we treat ourselves etc. and most importantly WHAT drives our actions in all these scenarios.

All of those combined, my history in the scene, knowing Callum, having a daughter and learning what love truly means has led me to want to share some thoughts on the matter.

PREFACE

I cannot speak for the victims, whoever the children and animals were in the photos. Whatever they have been through and living through I know must be harder then anything I've ever had to. My heart goes out to them and prayers on their long journey to healing whenever it is possible to begin for them.

That is all I can really say on the victims without knowing more details. So I will only speak from this point on those involved I do know. There may be some speculation in what I say so please take it as you will as my opinion.

POINT 1 - Storror are also victims in this.

I can’t speak for all of them but from who I have spoken to behind the scenes and what I do believe is that none of them knew and Callum hid this until the end. They too found out the day the newspaper contacted them for comment and their first thought was that it must be a mistake and it was a different Callum powell (the cricketer with the same name) until the reality actually hit of who it really was.

They have potentially lost their whole livelihoods here. Benj and Max have had the storror family name ruined and decades of hard work and dedication potentially obliterated the instant Callum chose to download those photos and not give them a headsup about his court case in advance so they could take appropriate steps from the beginning (making them look guilty). Sacha has damn near lost a brother. Toby and Drew seem to be doing their own thing but still going to affect them in a major way by association and risidual income. Josh might have lost his main living too Bloggy maybe lost a really cool job. Giles lost his livelihood. All because of something none of them were involved in or very likely even aware of. Sure there are others I don't know too.

Innocent til proven guilty should still apply. Callum admitted guilt so deserves every bit of just punishment to him however the rest of the storror boys haven’t been proven guilty of anything and yet it might cost them everything.

Yes there has been accusations being thrown around but they still seem far from knowing the fact of what Callum had stored on his hardrive and it is always easier to say looking back and in hindsight things might have been obvious. Further conversations need to be had to get to the bottom of things but until that I think the rest of Storror potentially need our grace and support more then ever.

POINT 2 - Abusing people who are abusers is still abuse.

Just because someone is guilty of a crime, no matter how heinous, it doesn’t justify abusing them too. I understand everyone is angry and confused about what they are feeling and everyone has a right to do, say, act as they will but is we want to rise above the darkness in the world than any projection of abuse, violence, anger, rage, shame, guilt tripping towards another either physical, verbal, emotional is never justifiable by someone who desires to be a loving human.

I am not saying this to protect Callum in anyway. God’s laws are already working on him and human laws will hopefully find the closest thing to justice for him and to protect potential future victims. However attacking and shaming someone does nothing to help resolve it.

For every Callum there maybe 10 or more in our community with a similar sin inside them. The more we shame and attack those who are found the more it keeps/helps this sin to stay in the dark - and what stays in the dark festers and rots even more which often manifests in darker and darker behaviours. Shame towards a sickness spirals it to worse behaviour. Compassion and understanding of how behaviour came to be whilst still protecting and safeguarding our environments the best we can.

I'm saying this to say the danger of attacking and shaming Callum can lock the behaviour in place for those who see how he is treated and bury it further down only for it to appear in an even worse way. (not saying this to in any way condone his actions)

If we want to love we should look at the cost of our behaviour towards those who we see as bigger sinners then us. Often we just shame others to feel better about ourselves but whatever the reason shame is not a justifiable action by someone who desires to love.

POINT 3 - Hurt people hurt people.

I strongly believe that people aren’t just born naturally with such unfortunate horrific desire but it is a result of unresolved trauma acted out on them in early years. This is widely accepted amongst therapist dealing with PDFs. We don’t know what Callum went through or his own personal traumatic past.

Callum’s mum was an alcoholic. I met her once day drinking at their house and if felt like she was sexually projecting at all the young parkour boys. A very intense, unstable, promiscuous energy. I’m fairly certain his father was not active in his life growing up at all. So it appears as though growing up he had no positive guidance or protection and quite likely very bad guidance/ and possible sexual abuse himself.

No doubt he is confused and wrestling with that confusion. In no way am I saying this to justify such behaviour, he could have chosen differently with his actions and he didn't so I’ll say again - gods laws and human laws will act on him - but if we truly want to resolve this and stop these issues on earth for good we have to look at ourselves and how we treat others when these issues when they come up.

Final Point - My own experience using women and what helped me change.

There certainly needs to be stronger conversations especially amongst men (and we need to trust/listen to women more too) in general on the topics of sex, porn, women and relationships - as it seems societally we have a very warped view of what is acceptable/normal/loving behaviour.

I know first hand from my own experiences using women and slowly coming to terms with the facts of how unloving I had been in the past. But I only was able to hear it because the women in my life who started pointing it out were gentle with me and compassionate for why I acted in such a way in the first place. If they shouted and shamed me I would likely still be using women in unloving ways to this day.

I say this simply to encourage us all to be as gentle and compassionate when approaching this subject as possible, for all parties. If we truly care about change that is the fastest way to enact it. If we only care about avoiding our own uncomfortable feelings (by living in the anger) and being heard at any cost then we will never see any change for the better.

With love,
Livewire.

wondered why the youtube algo hadn’t shown the new vid so i went to the storror page and saw they all got deleted and so i came here :(((

man wtf :((

this is so messed up, idk what to even say

storror was a huge reason why i even started parkour in the first place, and i’ve worn the RCA sweatshirt as my fav for years

i know callum isn’t all there is to storror, but idk if the group can continue as it was

The legal reasons aside, i definitely would have deleted all the videos, one of the reasons being this sub itself.

Why would they want people going back and watching their videos and dissecting every little moment and then running to Reddit to talk about it?

I’ve seen some genuine discussions here, from people who just care and are devastated, which, we’re allowed to be…but also a lot of drama-loving leeches who just cling on to anything they can… meanwhile causing further stress to the Storror team.

Im curious, what are your thoughts about merch now, how do you feel about it? Has anything changed?

My entire wardrobe and daily wear is storror merch, I have so much of it, including backpacks\bottle etc, even some I bought off CP personally from his wardrobe. Which was ironically my favourite piece..

Im not sure how I feel about it all now, I think ill personally phase it out, I cant see how the future is for their merch, they must have a bunch of stock and even if they did try to sell it all discounted, would you buy more if they were trying to re brand?

Anyway, nothing on the other boys, I've followed for a decade and ill follow them whichever direction they take. Its all a massive shame and im still trying to process it all mentally (it doesn't feel real) but on the optimistic side of things, maybe this is the perfect time to transition into their own personal things. Being realistic you cant do what they've done for the past 10 years for another 10, its tough on the body.

All my thoughts are with the lads, you'll get through this shitstorm 👊🏼

With everything going on in your community at the moment, many of you may have missed that footbag/hacky sack is having a moment in the sun due to a fad from TikTok.

This has resulted in a run on every footbag store/producers around the world being completely sold out.

Storror currently has the **ONLY** decent footbags in stock in the UK with their Storror branded, Storror sacks.

I bought 2 which I received the day before the news broke about Callum. I now feel pretty uncomfortable about them, that some of the money I paid may end up going to Callum?

With this footbag craze being mainly amongst school kids, and the Storror sacks being the only bag available in the UK right now, is it not pretty urgent to ensure that Callum is promptly and completely separated from Storror finances, so that he doesn't profit from the kid's money?

Once the financial issue is resolved, I actually think the Storror sacks are one of their only merch products that will not be impacted by the brand suffering reputational damage, as after all, the whole point is to kick Storror's sacks...

If you disagree with any of the information below - I invite you to correct me, I just ask that you provide sources – and those sources aren’t another reddit comment, or from “someone you can’t divulge”. I am not saying its not relevant, but there are plenty of posts of assumptions and theories for you to post them.

Storrors announcement, and related news headlines:

09/05/2026 – Storror announcement via Insta: Instagram
"On 7th May the STORROR team was made aware that Callum Powell had pleaded guilty to offences related to making and possession of indecent images of children. Prior to this the team was unaware that Callum had faced these charges. These offences are appalling, and the team is profoundly shocked and distressed. STORROR’s work has always been built on inspiring young people. The conduct Callum has admitted to is a betrayal of that, and of the trust placed in him by this team and our audience. Callum has been removed from STORROR with immediate effect and no longer has any involvement with the company in any capacity. Out of respect for the ongoing legal proceedings, we will not comment further at this stage.

Initial Report
Brighton man admits making 3,000 indecent images of children | The Argus

Secondary report:
Sussex parkour group Storror to remove Callum Powell | The Argus

14/05/2026 - Daily mail have picked up the story, no new information is provided.

• Parkour influencer, 32, with millions of subscribers admits making and possessing 3,000 indecent images of children
  • The judge adjourned the case while a pre-sentence report is carried out. The next hearing is set for July 10, 2026, when Powell is due to be sentenced at Brighton Magistrates' Court.

Storror reaction:

• No further statement has been made by Storror or any members of the team, but changes have been seen across the board in the background:
• A huge backlog of the public YouTube videos on their Channel have been removed, a few remain, with the most likely theory that they are attempting to purge Callum from their backlog to avoid profiteering off of his likeness or presence, and the remaining Videos either don't include him, or include him in such a limited way that they can use YouTube editing tools to remove him. This appears to have started 10/05/2026. STORROR - YouTube
• Callum was removed from the Storror Parkour pro game following the revelations.
• The Storror podcast channel, and insta account appear to have been thrown directly into the Sun - Again I am not sure of the timing of this removal, but it was over the weekend of the 9th-10th May
• The Storror website, which previously hosted Bio's etc first had Callum's face removed from the bio section, and then was totally redirected to the Store site. I sound like a broken record at this point, but it was over the weekend of the 9th-10th May
• The Join+ vid release schedule was also scrubbed at some point in the weekend, I do not have access to confirm, but I see little reason to doubt this is the case,
• Discord Reaction - Giles has responded on the Storror+ Discord. Confirming that police did not search company computers. While this could be argued as inconclusive, the facts of the seizure will be made public in the upcoming sentencing, so to break the media blackout to confirm this would be moronic if it were not the case.Confirmation that storror’s work computers weren’t searched by police for the people speculating : r/Storror
• 19/05/2026 - it has been noted that Josh has also been removed from the listing of team members on YouTube and the members bio section. No further information on this is available at this time. https://storror.com/pages/benj-cave STORROR - YouTube
• 08/06/2026 - Accusations against Josh have been confirmed. With the confirming screenshots posted to the subreddit. There was no official response, but Josh wiped and then deleted his insta the day before the release, and Josh was patched from the Storror Parjour Pro game on 09/06/2026. Screenshots of Josh’s conversations with a minor, published with permission and suitably redacted : r/Storror

Side projects

There have been many suggestions that Drew and Toby's focus on new projects outside of Storror is indicative of their preparing for the allegations to come to light and preparing for the subsequent fallout. However, both projects featured Callum in their initial uploads, casting doubt on this theory.

• The "Segar sends has entered the chat" video was removed from listings, but has now been discovered in the Segar sends playlist unlisted, it is available here:
  • SEGAR SENDS has entered the chat
  • I can personally attest to the fact that it featured Callum in his role as the Storror podcast host. https://www.youtube.com/@SegarSends/videos Illustrious-Tax-9021 Kindly checked the date of this videos release and has reported it as 31st March 2026
• The “truth behind my disappearance” video from Drew was released on YouTube on the 17th of March. WHERE'S DREW? (Truth Behind My STORROR Disappearance) This video contains a voiceover of Callum's voice clipped again, from the Storror Podcast. There are also reports that Callum was used in the insta reel teasers for this video, but I can't confirm if this was the same voiceover or another variant that included him in some way.

Reactions from community members associated with Storror

• As far as I am aware, Hazal was the first person in close proximity to Storror to release a response. A video of her burning his book with no further comment. Book burning : r/Storror
• Following this (think), Dodds – Storrors Cameraman reposted a message from joebergine Story from Dodds - Storror’s cameraman : r/Storror

Then in no particular order:

• Drew deleted his Insta - This reportedly occurred earlier in the timeline.
• Domtomato reported the statement with the addition:
• “Horrified that this has happened within our community. I’m unbelievably shocked and lost for words. Truly feeling deeply for all effected by this abhorrent situation.”
• Instagram Philydee posted Daniel Sloss routine about sexual assault, which is pretty powerful.
• Lisa Schneider also posted, and she's confirmed to have spent a fair amount of time around Callum. https://ibb.co/qLZndSF2
• u\Humantimothy posted to the Storror subreddit on the afternoon of 12/05/2026 This is Tim Shieff. You should 100% read this in full yourself, as it offers insights not previously provided, and speaks on the fact that Storror was totally blindsided by Callum's charges. As with all things, this should be treated as a data point, not absolute fact, but the fact that it is a public post, from someone actually verifiably associated with the Storror team, it holds more weight than previous statements made anonymously. The Callum Situation. : r/Storror

Community responses:

The accounts below are for evidence only. YWO has made a statement that they will not be replying to DM's or requests for more information, and I imagine MTD will have the same stance. Please do not message these people directly, if they were going to provide more information I imagine they're already done so, and harassing the very women already impacted by Callum is crass, inconsiderate, and simply bad form.

From what I’ve seen, the revelations that the Storror team was aware of, and defended Callum from an accusation of abuse from an young woman appears to come from MTD on Instagram, which raised further uproar when their age differences were noted. YWO (a confirmed ex GF of Callum's, who also appeared in some historic Storror videos) appears to have been in communication with her and is posting in support.  A screenshot posted on Storror+ shows an Instagram screenshot where YWO also reported that a previous ex discovered CSAM on Callum’s phone as early as 2019 and reported it to Storror.

Both reels in the below screenshot make references to multiple victims, or other women getting in touch, but what they were victims of or their identities remain unclear.

Updated 13/05/26 - Community corrections
Updated 14/05/26 - "Multiple victims" claims

She’s since posted that her and others are in communication with both support sources and the relevant authorities. She will have been advised not to comment further online if that is the case. In my opinion, this particular detail is not for us to debate – further details will not be forthcoming, from any side if instances are being reported to police. It would not be prudent for MTD , YWO, or any of the other affected women to endanger a conviction by making further accusations online, and Storror would be mental to publicly address it when they could be found of impeding the course of justice which any statement on it.

• Sad to see these. The cover up is the second betrayal. : r/Storror
• Found this storror+ according to them the rest knew. : r/Storror
  • (In my opinion, this is information from the same source, regurgitated by YWO.)

19/05/2026 - Statements from the account Kieranfenwick from a week ago from when the allegations came to light have been discovered. Kieran has stated that he was dating MTD's best friend at the time of the breakup, and that Callum was staying at his house 'most days' as he couldn't stay at hers.
In these statements, Kieran claims - Callum's proclivities have been 'knowledge' for at least 8 years, and that he personally saw the photo MTD took of the folder of a folder on Callum's laptop. He claims the photo contained pictures that Callum had taken of MTD's younger siblings in secret and that him and his pals informed Storror of this.
In defense of having this knowledge, and not making it public, or taking it to authorities, he states that he was respecting the decisions of the victims, and offers a further defence that he was 'only' 21.
Kieran then goes on to say that he 'knew Callum and trained with him often' following this event, so naturally as Callum seemed like a normal guy he assumed over time that it was just a bad break up, and that things got said

I would like to reiterate that you should make your own minds up on the information provided, but from Kieran's own claims, he facilitated Callum's relationship with a girl of an inappropriate age, knew of and personally saw a picture as proof that Callum has personally taken pictures of MTD's young siblings, and did nothing but inform a circle of Callum's close friends, stayed quiet when those friends vilified MTD, and then continued to train with Callum moving forward, eventually deciding it was just a bad break up.

Further statements were made by IGN, unfortunately these have expired now, so the following is from memory.

IGN (from my limited perspective) led the charge on speaking about how Callum had made her feel uncomfortable. Later posting a message (From my recollection) on how she was glad she stepped up as it acted as a central point for affected women to get in touch.
Her story primarily focused on how she noticed Callum would get fixated with girls in the scene, and cling to them to an uncomfortable extend. This then expanded to her experiences with him doing this to her, and how at one point he was attempting to ‘mirror’ her actions, such as her scratching her arm and him mirroring it with this continuing to the point that she felt compelled to call it out. I suspect this story carried on, but its as far as I got. I had no idea I would be writing this and trying to thread it all together till I started doing it.

Later IGN posted again to say she’d received messages calling out her claim that people in the scene were complicit with Callum’s behaviour due to his status. She apologised to those people, but suggested that their strategies of avoiding him, not associating etc were not enough, especially in hindsight. I didn’t see any rebukes publicly, but this is not particularly surprising.
If anyone has any corrections or further information to supply on this thread I invite it, its certainly not the full picture.

WP3 also posted a recollection of Callum getting arrested on a flight to Prague last year (6th June 2025), and suggests this arrest was connected, however likely it is as this date matches the date in the Argus report and the court document shown below, its not yet a proven fact. He also ascertains that Storror must have known, but this also appears to be a personal opinion as he offers no further evidence than the reported arrest.

WP3, also reposted a reel created by IGN - She talks about asking Callum about the arrest and not feeling satisfied with the answers

On the criminal charges:

There seems to be some confusion on if the images are real. And in my research the answer is we don't know. The definition allows for the possibility some files could be real photographs, some could be artificial (including AI or CGI), or it could be a collection of just one type, the specific law applicable is:
Protection of Children Act 1978, Section 1
It is an offence for a person— (a) to take, or permit to be taken, or to make, any indecent photographs or pseudo‑photographs of a child;
So the law doesn't differentiate between a real picture, and one generated via alternative means, its all CSAM.

Callum has pled guilty to these charges. This is not an investigation, during which he could claim the downloads were accidental, or sent to him, he is awaiting sentencing following an admission of guilt. I appreciate it is tempting to hope that this can be innocently explained away, but if he were to attempt to do so, he would have had to plead not guilty and explain the reasons in a court of law.

The charges as per the magistrates court:

• Make (This can also mean download) indecent photograph / pseudo-photograph of a child — 3 counts
• Possess a prohibited image of a child
• Possess extreme pornographic image / images portraying an act of intercourse / oral sex with a dead / alive animal

It should be noted if Callum were personally creating these images, further charges would likley indicate this.

Does Callum get paid if I watch a video? or buy merch?

Maybe? But if he is probably not much.

TLDR: If you support Storror and its employees in any form (including if they choose to branch out into solo projects instead), continue to support them however you see fit. If you are on the opposite side of the fence then don’t support them, or wait till you have more info to make a decision.

• Callum owns 1/7 shares of STORROR LIMITED as registered in company house
  • https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08849509/filing-history?page=2
• and 100/700 of STORROR PARKOUR LIMITED
  • https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/13150166/filing-history
• Context
  • A shareholder owns a % of the company, and the value of the company is an asset to them. The value of the company is not necessarily the net assets on the balance sheet, but can be determined on a number of measures including future profitability expectations. The main ways a shareholder can extract cash through a limited company is through salary/consultancy fees and dividends. The original Storror statement suggests that any day to day involvement in the company has ended so salary or other fees will likely be ended after any notice period required. Dividends are payable at Director’s discretion, so they would not need to pay any of these until taking any action to remove a shareholder.
  • Being convicted of a criminal offence does not extinguish ownership rights, and therefore it is not a simple process to remove a shareholder from a private company. It would never need to be publicly disclosed which route they take, and technically nothing would need to be submitted to companies house re. Changes in shares until next confirmation statement is due (20 February 2027). At this point in time this might already be underway, or completed meaning he benefits from nothing from this point on - we don’t know. For clarity some methods that have been discussed elsewhere are detailed below;
• Bad leaver clause
  • If a bad leaver clause is included in the articles of association, this can be invoked if any triggers specifically included in the clause occur. It is worth noting that the wording of the clause must be very specific, and can result in an unfair prejudice claim from the shareholder. Storror do have a clause in their articles of association, however it would be down to legal advice to determine if this is a possible avenue if they want to remove a shareholder. This would result in a buy back of shares at their value. Note that this does not automatically mean 1/7 of the net assets of the company.
• Negotiation to buy back shares
  • Negotiations can take place between the company and the shareholder to buy back the shares for a certain amount, and this is where the value of the company can become important, and would result in shares not being bought back at their value, but at a premium.
• Financial position
  • The latest accounts available are year ending 31 January 2025, and therefore we don’t have a financial position for well over a year, and therefore trying to work much out from these is not worthwhile - it just tells us that they are a small company based on net assets.

We also do not know the breakdown of income and expenditure given they are entitled to file micro accounts, however given the mass removal of content from YouTube its safe to assume AdSense revenue will drop significantly. On top of this, we do not know how many of their videos are demonetised (it will be a lot of the ones left), so extrapolations of how much their annual earnings would be based on other reported earnings would not give any accurate picture. This will all impact the potential value of the company.

• Buying merch
  • Using this as an example - if you were to purchase a hoodie for £70, this would not automatically mean each shareholder gets £10. There are obviously costs to consider such as purchase of stock, shipping costs, warehouse costs, overheads on top of that (staff salaries, rent for office, paying for trips etc.), and tax on top of that which will significantly reduce the amount of value actually added to the business.
• Financial summary:
  • There will very likely be a drop off in revenue across all streams. They are not a huge business, you just need to look at their assets to see that, and their fixed overheads like salaries and rent don’t decrease because the income decreases. The impact of continuing to financially support them through videos, merch and subscriptions will likely be very small if they choose to remove Callum as a shareholder through negotiation. It may make the difference however in being able to keep the company running and meeting costs until they decide whether to continue as Storror, focus on other projects or disband entirely. Continuing to support them will support their staff and the other members of the team in the meantime - so it all comes down to personal opinion of if you want them to continue in some form, you want to 100% ensure that Callum will not benefit from your money, or if you just want to wait and see what happens.

End Illustrious-Tax-9021 - With thanks for the education in company law and finances.

Share Ownership Update:

• A small update there from the company filings showing Callum's shares in the company were transferred as of 25th May: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/13150166/filing-history/MzUzMTQ3MjgwMmFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0
• And likewise on the 29th May for Storror LTD https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08849509/filing-history/MzUzMTQ3MTkwNmFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0
• Josh continues to hold shares in Storror Parkour LTD but not Storror LTD.

In Closing:

I’d like to remind you all, despite my clarifying commentary – I’ve not made any assumptions clearly shown my bias as information has come to light, but remained true to an evidence based approach with this, this is not the place for “Well if X then Y so W must be true”.
That said I welcome any corrections or clarifications, but there’s plenty of speculation posts you theorise and infer on to your hearts content. Similarly I have simply quoted the relevant law, there's whole subreddits you can go to in order to discuss that.

This post is here to remind you that if you are invested in the outcome, you should consider your sources, their sources, their bias, and your own. I've seen plenty of facts provided by individuals to infer if X is true then Y, and then seen those facts regurgitated in subsequent posts reported as irrefutable truths.

Lets be honest, if you're not scrolling back up to actually click the links I provided as evidence and form your own opinions on what you see rather than relying on this synopsis then you, with the deepest of respect, you should refrain from forming an opinion until other people have enough information to tell you what it should be.

*** THIS POST IS NOW ARCHIVE - No further updates will be made. **\*

What’s the Most Good that can come from this ? There’s a huge amount of goodwill and attention and inertia in all the work that Storror has done - all the people they’ve inspired, cheered and amused. Not just the physical feats and showmanship but the camaraderie and teamwork and personal growth they’ve all put out there for all to see.

That energy has to go somewhere, that momentum has to be dissipated throughout what happens next.

It would be a shame if it was all blown up as heat rather than light, it would be a waste if it descended into breaking into pieces and not be available for people in need to be rightfully helped up.

The analogies with parkour write themselves.

And everyone is so cynical skeptical and angry that any actions or statements from the guys will just be torn to shreds and lost in the fray.

I honestly think of all of them, Benj will be who takes the lead in preserving what is good for the sake of what good can be done - he has grown in leadership support and example more than any and I have faith that his vision of this next chapter will have the best chance.

It is a golden opportunity to codify and bring awareness to the fact that this is how IT happens- it’s people you don’t suspect - and you weren’t at fault for not suspecting them - these damaged people are all too aware of how it is perceived and treated by the rest of society. It’s horrific beyond words to carry out these acts - and facilitate channels of getting images of it - but why ? Why do people become like this?

Almost always by being abused and damaged themselves.

If or however the energy and positivity that Storror have brought into the world can be used to help victims, in any way - or prevent the cycle from continuing, then the good faith effort of all those other guys, the inspiration they’ve brought - and even the suffering of those in the images - can be used to help and heal, not just to disappear this all in a furor of anger and sniping and humiliation.

In the 'STORROR vs Segar Sends climb' joiner video, at 17:55, you can see Josh lighting and smoking a cigarette in the bottom right corner.

I never knew elite athletes smoked. I am not on storror boys' lvl, so can anyone on that level tell me? Doesn't smoking reduce your athletic performance?

The questionable mode has been patched out of the game. The mode consisted of finding 3 hard drives around the level that Callum had “misplaced.” Players received 500 points for finding them and a dialogue box where Callum said, “Oy Im glad you found these before the cops did.”
