''I'm not afraid to say I was sexually abused as a child. I was just a child. It isn't my shame ...'' #NotMyShame Cannot access my @Sunnyclaribel account.
Cunt!
Sir' Stephen Fry said at the Oxford Union debate that the girls raped by foreigners in Rotherham were 'child prostitutes'.📷
The Age of Consent is “subjective”!
No one should go to jail for raping a minor if there is 'consent'.!📷
Check his hard drive!

Many thanks @FA for the invite to the launch of “Voices Of Truth” at the England v Croatia game last night. Ten years since we spoke out on National TV. I’m hoping we’ve made a huge impact on making sport a safer place to play for our children all around the world ⚽️🏀🏉🏏⛳️🏑
A man who drove around UK towns at night in his van looking for lone women to drive into, so he could pick up their bodies and rape them in the van, has been sentenced to 10 years in jail.
Sean Haverty told the court he's now a woman called Safiya Anna.

In 1890, the legal age of sexual consent in Delaware was seven years old.
Seven.
In 38 American states, it was twelve or younger.
A man accused of sexually assaulting a little girl could escape conviction by arguing that she had consented.
One woman helped change that.
Her name was Helen Hamilton Gardener.
At a time when most American women couldn't even vote, Gardener joined a movement demanding that lawmakers raise the age of consent and offer girls greater protection against sexual exploitation.
What she discovered was horrifying.
Some legislators resisted reform because they feared girls would falsely accuse men. Others insisted that girls matured early enough to consent to sex.
In Texas, opponents argued that working girls might blackmail their employers. Another argument was that Southern chivalry offered women sufficient protection.
These were actual arguments recorded in an 1895 report on legislative opposition.
Gardener refused to remain silent.
She wrote novels exposing the consequences of sexual abuse, published detailed comparisons of state laws, and publicly identified states that refused to strengthen their protections.
She encouraged Americans to question nearly 9,000 state legislators about their positions.
She also fought proposals that would have denied protection to sexually assaulted girls unless they could prove they had been virgins.
And she challenged the supposedly scientific arguments used to portray women as intellectually inferior to men.
Her campaign was part of a much larger movement involving thousands of women, including suffragists, temperance activists and Black reformers.
By 1900, 32 states had raised their age-of-consent thresholds to between fourteen and eighteen.
Gardener subsequently became an influential campaigner for women's suffrage, helping secure President Woodrow Wilson's support for a federal constitutional amendment.
In 1920, she became the first woman appointed to the United States Civil Service Commission.
She died in 1925.
There is something extraordinary about the women who fought these battles.
They had to ask men for permission to protect children from other men, while those same men denied them the right to participate equally in making the laws.
And some of those lawmakers were more concerned about protecting adult men from accusations than protecting little girls from sexual assault.
Please read my book if you have any interest in true stories, and about how a National scandal was actually highlighted….

I’ve spent my entire life in the entertainment industry and the past 26 years running a performing arts school.
My professional expertise, years of campaigning against child sexual abuse and, sadly, my own story of childhood abuse have brought me to this moment.
I’ve also had my own safeguarding experiences as a performer in the entertainment industry. I’ve seen many things and worked with many professionals and celebrities. Even today, I sometimes wonder where certain photographs of me ended up, following a decidedly dodgy experience with a photographer called Mike, who was working for My Guy magazine at the time I was as a model. My stories could fill a book of their own.
My sleeves are now well and truly rolled up.
As Founder of Project 90-10 Charity, we are preparing to launch our Gold Standard of Safeguarding in the Entertainment Industry, something we have been developing for some time. One of my trustees, Rebecca, is bringing excellent work to the forefront of this initiative.
Safeguarding must be more than a policy. It must be a flourishing culture.
As I said on TalkTV this week, “Celebrity status is not a safeguarding exemption.”
We cannot keep waiting for another scandal before taking action.
Raise the standards. Challenge the culture. Protect children BEFORE harm happens.

Those believing the hidden in plain sight doesn’t really happen, think again. It’s like a dirty trail around us all. Wake up people! I’m not here for the fun of it…
It’s why I founded @Project9010
I Absolutely agree @fionagoddarduk …. There’s always strength in numbers and we need to keep shining the spotlight into the dark corners!
Remember, the devil is always in the detail
And while we’re all focused on the “noise” to the right, what we should really be paying attention to is the silence on the left.
What’s going on to the right is very often merely the distraction…..
