Fiona Cooper

There is a huge difference between a paedophile and someone who has sex with a 15-year-old girl. I am not defending Graham Rix or anyone daft enough to do it but it is hardly paedohilia.

Almost everyone's DVD sales are falling - Ben Dover can't get a new series made.

The Ripper connection is an urban myth as far as I am aware.

A girl I know worked with him this week and she said he was fine. I have no reason to doubt her.

I must be psychic. I predicted I would get that response from you.
As for my opinion....bribery?

For the record.

In days gone by, over a six year period, I sent hundreds of girls to Fiona Cooper. I told Phil Sutcliffe which girls would do hard-core and those who would not. He never abused the privilege and paid accordingly. His rates were always the top in the industry. I never had a single complaint from a girl as a result of going to Halifax.

He was accused of underage sex with a girl who worked on his property, she was 15 and very mature and knowledgeable. She did not want to complain but the police insisted.

HOWEVER, as part of their investigation, they found 100's of pictures on his computer of underage girls and he was rightly convicted.

As with most cases, there are two sides to every story.
I hope this sets the record straight.

Yeah, i had a shoot with them way back in 2003 and it was 2 female photographers, mother and daughter and she ran the whole thing apparently from a big house near Halifax in the middle of nowhere

Thanks for that, Marcus. And apologies if my ignorance (not for the first time) has muddied the waters.

Really? What about the serious allegations that he attempted to ruin a models career?

Circa 1K per shoot?

But what about the, albeit anecdotal, evidence given by a proportion of models who believe his attitude was distinctly unprofessional?

Therefore, as the law currently stands, he is a convicted sex offender.

Hey Trump,

I related FACTS as they happened in the 80's - 90's

I made no judgment for or against, I merely wanted to clarify a very clouded set of opinions both 3rd hand and heresay.
If you would care to read my post carefully, I am sure you will understand.

I am neither condoning nor condemning.

Nor do I subscribe to or endorse gossip. I speak as I find from 1st hand direct experience - in all things.

Bottom line is you are all pissed at him because he is better, has had more sex & makes more money..

You are all Hypocrits

marcusallen, you have made your position abundantly clear. But as you have admitted your FACTS occurred in the 80's and 90's.
