celtic Face 25 actions regarding Historic Abuse


Recommended Posts

Why does the article not refer to all his other convictions and abuse over 30 years, his re-employment after release from jail, Kelly & McGinn taking directorships with his company?

If that's all the article says, it makes it sound like a wee one-off.

There is probably issues about biasing the trial to be honest.

You are not meant to consider someone's past crimes when deciding if they are guilty for one they have not yet stood trial for.

They can be taken into account at the sentencing stage though if found guilty.

Wouldn’t be too sure. This has been ongoing for years. He will pass away long before the truth comes out. 

Thanks to Celtics ongoing telecomunication problems with authorities  Torbett was off the radar as it were and was allowed to continue abusing kids until 1997 when Brazil nailed him.

 

Your right..it has been going on for years and the scale of the abuse is staggering.

Disgusting that they are ALL still denying everything. You would think the guilt of something so horrific would eventually lead you to tell the truth but these animals have no decency whatsoever. I hope the victims get the justice they deserve.

CFC still did business with The Trophy Centre and filling Torbetts pockets throughout his sentence.

Money had to be laundered.

Apparently it was a legit contract he had with CFC to provide cups, trophies etc 

The contract was cancelled in 2001 

Though his connection to 2 prominent celtic figures who went on to become directors of his company is very suspect

I seem to remember the contract he had with them was quoted at something of around 1M for 4/5yrs for supplying plastic trophies etc, they'd have to be gold plated to be worth that.

1. Reporting restrictions due to it being a live case

2. The prior offences will likely be docketed to the Indictment. (S288BA Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995.)

3. Upon conviction, the press can report on the prior cases.

Compare and contrast  the difference  in these sporting  bodies.

The board of Cricket Scotland has resigned with immediate effect following allegations of racism.

The directors sent the letter of resignation to the interim chief executive officer this morning.

 The SFA sit on their hands and do fuck all.

It comes after Sky News revealed yesterday that a "devastating" review into Scottish cricket has found it be institutionally racist.

Scotland correspondent James Matthews reported that the review - expected to be published on Monday - has led to multiple referrals to a number of organisations, including Police Scotland, for racist behaviour.

Ask yourself  Mr Maxwell  what is the greater evil abusing countless  children or being a thick racist , I know what is more worthty of a serious review.

Do your job, thats all we ask. A spokesperson for Cricket Scotland said: "Cricket Scotland will work in partnership with SportScotland with immediate effec to ensure appropriate governance, leadership and support is in place for the organisation and the sport in the days ahead, and these arrangements will be reviewed after the publication of the report into racism in cricket in Scotland and updates given accordingly."

A unknown  spokesman for Scottish Football said we fully agree that a public inquiry should be held into this abhorrent behaviour  by all those involved in cricket Scotland.

However the SFA officially have stated that themselves  and celtic football  club cant go on with an open investigation into the systematic  abuse of children  at this time , Anwar, Humza and Nicola refuse to comment at this time but feel ra cellic have made the right response to the scurrilous rumours made against them.

The R.C.church stand by their previous statements on these matters: nothing to see hear move along .

Bring this up to their support and the first thing they say is neely and dunn. That's the ingrained mindset among this lot, deny and deflect back. 

It's unreal when you see the scale and the numbers involved in this case. 

The best these victims will ever get is compensation. Hopefully it's huge amounts of money after years of being denied justice. Then maybe the sponsors will start pulling out on scum fc as well. 

No chance but any kind of sporting punishment will be levelled at them. 

Their comfort blanket is moth eaten and full of holes.
One wasn't in our employment and the other should have had the mark of the beast on him and been unemployable after he sexually assaulted kids at hivs and THEY KNEW and let him start a job with us.
The story is he spanked a kid on his bare bottom in our employment and obviously got a kick out of it,the bottom line between neely at Rangers he soon as it came to Souness attention he was GONE
No cunt from that club will ever be allowed to take the moral high ground in my company.
of the vile,for the vile,by the vile.
