I'm not going to judge the man. I'm just going to suggest a feeling of connection between Andrew and Druitt due to perceived, similar issues. The meaning is that there has always been a suggestion that Druitt lost his job over improprieties with his charges at school.

Looks like a match to me, only he grew the mustache a bit more fuller.

No problem, admin.

Please be advised: As this thread is not specifically about the Rippercast, it is being moved to General Discussion and the title being changed from "Rippercast panelist" to "Ripperologist".

We hope you understand the change.

Thank you.

He posted several pictures of himself at the graves of the victims, but I think these may now have been archived to disc.

Andy mentioned also of taking holidays with his wife. God only knows what she is going through right now about this. Even worse, their kids (if he had any).

Please take this the right way...the article made no mention of him molesting children.

c.d.

I do see what you are trying to say CD, and I do agree that a sense of perspective is necessary (if difficult) in such circumstances, but I think for most people what the article does say is quite enough. I am not saying that you do not recognise that, btw.

I think the crucial point is that were this man (whether he has before or not) to turn up on this site, or any I was involved in, I would not only want nothing to do with him because of what he has been proved/ admitted to have done but also because that suspicion could now never be out of my mind. To put it simply - and again, please take this the right way, there are no articles saying I have never done anything so sick as you mention, nor anyone I know - precisely because I and we haven't, and never would. But I do not feel that I need an article to say whether I have or not, as I would hope people who know me know that there would never be any question. With this man, whoever he is, that presumption of decency has been forever tarnished. Is that unfair? Perhaps, but as I say the crime he has already admitted is enough to get him little sympathy in my eyes.

c.d.,

I know what you mean and at first I thought that as well but I am afraid I just can't hang on to it. He sought out photos of it occurring which is just as horrifying to me as actually doing it yourself. He sought out photos of that kind of thing happening to children.

I can't really distance myself from the doing of it and deriving enjoyment from watching it being done. I can't find a palatable separation there.
