Operation Janitress & the Wonderland Club
Jan 18, 2001
COPS SMASH SICK CHILD PORN GROUP; Scot is among men questioned.
Byline: BOB DOW
POLICE were last night questioning a suspected Scots paedophile as part of Britain’s biggest-ever Internet child porn operation.
The man’s home was one of 24 raided in dawn swoops by forces across Britain.
Officers from Grampian Police seized a computer when they searched the house in Aberdeen.
Twenty-six other computers and a huge haul of photos, videos and magazines, were taken away in the raids, involving more than 100 officers from 13 police forces.
Most of the material is understood to feature sick scenes of children being raped and sexually abused.
Two teachers were among those being questioned last night.
The paedophile unit of the Metropolitan Police co-ordinated the swoops – codenamed Operation Janitress – on houses in Aberdeen, Derby, Liverpool, Hull, Hertfordshire, Reading, Leeds, Preston, Brighton and London.
Met sources say they have smashed a huge child porn ring after two years of work and more arrests will follow.
DCI Bob McLachlan, the head of the paedophile unit, said: “Those responsible believe that the Internet affords anonymity, but technology is increasingly sophisticated.
“These are real innocent children having horrible and heartbreaking things done to them to gratify the sick minds of some people.”
Last night, IT specialists were downloading and cataloguing thousands of pieces of material stored on disk.
A trial last week revealed the extent of paedophile use of the Internet when seven British men admitted conspiracy to distribute child pornography at Kingston Crown Court in Surrey.
The fee to join their organisation, known as the Wonderland Club, was 10,000 new child porn images.
Police discovered the club’s members had access to almost a million child porn images and could even watch children in America being abused by perverts live via Webcam.
The seven will be sentenced next month.

Massive paedophile operation leads to arrests
Thirteen suspected paedophiles were arrested and 27 computers seized in police dawn raids Wednesday in the UK’s largest ever police operation against child pornography on the Internet.
Videos, CD-ROMs and thousands of paedophile pictures — which included images of children being sexually abused — were also seized in raids in both England and Scotland. Those arrested reportedly included the housemaster of a Leicestershire public school.
Forces in Grampian, Derbyshire, Merseyside, Humberside, Hertfordshire, West Yorkshire, Somerset, Bedfordshire, Lancashire, Devon, Cornwall, Sussex and London took part in the raids, codenamed Operation Janitress. Police had worked with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to track down some of those arrested.
Operation Janitress was the result of a two-year investigation, which began after a Gloucestershire man was arrested for the suspected abuse of his children. Police learned he was in contact with a London man who was allegedly running an online child pornography swap club.
DCI Bob McLachlan, head of the Met’s Paedophile Unit, explained that Wednesday’s arrests were the result of an intelligence-led operation targeted at stemming the distribution of child pornography via the Net.
McLachlan claimed that those who possessed such material were themselves guilty of child abuse. “Images like these are evidence of the sexual assault and rape of children — and anyone who buys or downloads them perpetuates the cycle of abuse,” he said.
He explained that while the use of the Web to disseminate paedophilic images was increasing, the police were developing new methods to combat the problem.
“We know that the Internet is increasingly used as a conduit for the exchange of pornographic pictures of children. Those responsible believe that the Internet affords anonymity, but police technology in this area is increasingly sophisticated,” McLachlan warned.
Last week, seven men pleaded guilty to their participation in what was then the world’s biggest Internet pornography ring to be uncovered. Those arrests came as part of Operation Cathedral, a massive international police operation involving 12 countries.

Tuesday, 13 February, 2001,
“This week sentences are expected to be handed down on seven men arrested almost three years ago as part of Operation Cathedral – a swoop against paedophiles that spanned 12 countries.
The seven men were part of 107 people arrested by police across the globe. Those arrested were part of the “Wonderland Club”, an online forum set up to swap and share indecent images of children.
Since Operation Cathedral more raids have taken place on both local and national levels against those trading child pornography on the net.
In early December 1999 20 police forces made arrests in 27 different locations as part of Operation Queensland.
The raids followed an investigation by Greater Manchester Police’s obscene publications unit.
Last month police forces in 12 regions took part in Operation Janitress which resulted in the arrest of 13 paedophiles as well as the seizure of computers, videos and images.
The raids were the end result of a two-year investigation that began with the arrest of Gloucestershire man who was suspected of abusing his children that led police, via one of his contacts, to an online forum where child pornography was swapped.”

OK, so the MSM aren’t complete bollox…
Below, I copied word for word from an old Daily Record article dated 25th Feb 1997. It really struck a chord wi me, not the content so much, as it’s “old news” but, it made me think about a couple of things.. Firstly, concerning child abuse,
What has changed since 1997?
Very little in my opinion, the vast majority of people did nothing about it in 1997 & they are doing nothing about it now.
Over 20 years & the only thing to have changed is that there are more abusers & they are getting lighter sentences. it has got worse NOT better!
& the second thing is the MSM. The Daily Record in particular. Over the years they have run several campaigns of a similar nature to this one, in a vain attempt to get the masses to wake up & actually DO SOMETHING.
I think we all slag off the MSM for peddling bullshit propaganda. Myself included!! & rightly so, when they print TOTAL BOLLOX!
But when it comes to the CSA epidemic we are now struggling to control.. They have been telling us for DECADES! & I have THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS of article clippings & screenshots & links to prove it!
BUT WE JUST HAVEN’T LISTENED!
NOR DID WE GIVE ENOUGH OF A FLYING TOOT TO ACTUALLY GET OFF OUR FAT ARSES!
Over 90% of the information that I have in my blogs & videos comes DIRECTLY from the main steam media. Without the MSM, we wouldn’t know EVEN A QUARTER of the info we do about CSA.. & that is an absolute FACT!!
But the more that people slag them off for spreading UTTER SHITE (which they absolutely do sometimes!) then the less likely it is that people will take what they say about child abuse seriously.. & WE NEED THEM to keep reporting about all the CSA in Scotland. Cause otherwise… we’re kinda screwed!
So, wi that in mind, I am gonnae UNBLOCK the Daily Record!
But the Sun can get tae f*** cause it really is just an utter shite rag!!
GALLERY OF SHAME; Record Campaign – Charter for our Children.
This is Scotland’s gallery of shame. The perverts and paedophiles here range from teenagers to pensioners, church elders to teachers. But they only represent a tiny fraction of the depraved and deviant who file through the country’s courts every year. And, chillingly, they are just the tip of the iceberg. Experts believe only one in every 20 child abusers is convicted. The Record believes action must be taken NOW to confront the plague of abuse that wrecks young lives and disgusts all right- minded Scots.
ROBERT HERRIOT
EVIL Herriot, 38, abused vulnerable men with Down’s Syndrome at a home in East Lothian. He was jailed for seven years at the High Court in Edinburgh in January, but his victims’ families blasted the sentence as “far too lenient”. Herriot, of Edinburgh, could be free within three and a half years.
DAVID EAGLESHAM
DEAF MUTE Eaglesham, 66, carried out a series of sex attacks on a 10-year-old girl. People in Bo’ness, West Lothian, where Eaglesham lived with his wife before starting a two- year jail term earlier this month are determined he will never return. An action group are collecting signatures throughout the town.

TWISTED Alves, 28, was forced into hiding after it emerged she’d harassed two boys for sex. She was found lying naked on an 11-year-old boy. She failed to have sex with him only because he wasn’t fully developed. Residents forced Alves, who was jailed for six months, to leave her parents’ home in Stirling.
COLIN BEATON
BEARDED pervert Beaton, 35, hoarded a sickening stash of child porn. The researcher, from Broughty Ferry, was fined pounds 3000 at Dundee Sheriff Court in January. Sheriff Richard Davidson described Beaton’s porn, including magazines and blue movies, as “two bagfuls of filth.”

ROBERT HOWARD
HOWARD was hounded out of a Drumchapel housing scheme because of his sick background.

Jack, John, Julian & the Footie Paedo Ring
As you may have noticed, the past 10 or so days I have been researching footie paedo, but today I was looking into some thing slightly different. Today, i was researching paedo within the Scouts & the Boys brigade.. & whilst doing that, I came across Julian Danskin.
I won’t go into too much detail as you can read the 3 articles yersel.. All i am going to say he is a bastard paedo who lived/s in Fife & was a lawyer & a BBs company leader. He was also boss of East Fife footie team. (woo hoo! I love football so much!)
Please read the articles as they are important!
- DANSKIN QUITS AS BOSS OF EAST FIFE Warned off match
- GAY PORN LAWYER TICKLED OUR TOES; BLACKMAIL CASE: BBs TELL OF FEARS AS LAW SOCIETY REFUSES TO ACT
- TWO JAILED OVER PLOT TO BLACKMAIL SOCCER BOSS
My alarm bells went off somewhere around the first sentence of the first article! So off i went digging! Only to find Danskin was on SFA board of Directors! So within minutes & without actually meaning to, I was back amongst Celtic footie paedo?!!
if you go to page 4 you’ll see Kevin Kelly of course! SFA COMPANY CHECK
But the first name I immediately recognised wasn’t Kelly’s! It was McGinn.. So I googled JOHN McGinn & I was correct! kinda!
JOHN McGinn is JACK McGinn grandson wiki But that is NOT the same McGinn that’s on the SFA director list! Cause the SFA director McGinn was born in August 1932 which would make him about 85 years old. Therefore about the same age as Jack McGinn!
They are of course the same person Jack / John & it was the name JACK McGinn that I rings bells with me! & I recognised the name,
From researching yesterday’s blog!
John Christopher McGinn Company Check & here McGinn is
Anyhoo..
Back to DANSKIN In 1999 a jury of eight women and seven men convicted Danskin.
“Danskin, of Braemar, Largo Road, Leven, of conducting himself in a shamelessly indecent manner towards a 25-year-old when he was aged between 14 and 18. He was further convicted of using lewd, libidinous and indecent behaviour to a boy aged between 8 and 14. He was also found guilty of conducting himself in a shamelessly indecent manner towards the same victim when he was aged between 15 and 18. A fourth charge of lewd and libidinous behaviour towards a youngster aged between 10 and 14 was found not proven. Danskin, the senior partner of Leven law firm Smith and Grant, committed the offences in Innerleven East Church hall, his offices and Silverburn House in Leven between 1985 and 1995 while he was Captain of the 1st Methil BB.”
And then in July 2002 Danskin was struck off as a solicitor DANSKIN v HMA
But then, to my absolute horror, I found an article about one of the boys Danskin had abused – Steven Paterson – who was so traumatise by what that bastard did to him, that he ended up overdosing on heroin & he died aged only 19. He was just a kid…
In 2012, Alan James – one of the men convicted & jailed for blackmailing Danskin – reappears at an armed robbery in Glasgow & despite DNA evidence proving him to have been at the scene, he walked?!
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/window-cleaner-accused-of-armed-raid-858623 http://archive.li/O5xZn
But by the time I had read about Steven…. I couldn’t really face anymore! So i’m gonna call it a night, & I will just leave you with a very quick summary.
YET ANOTHER CHILD RAPING BASTARD that is a major player in Scottish football
& YET AGAIN linked to Celtic, Kevin Kelly, Jack McGinn etc..

Head of the footie inquiry, the church & the paedo ring
A couple of wee things jumped out at me from this article dated 1st Dec 1999
“He had denied all the charges against him and referred to his accusers as ‘lying heroin addicts’ but was found guilty after a 12-day trial.”
It then says at the end…
“East Fife Football Club said Mr Danskin had been replaced as chairman”
The first bit, What a NASTY BASTARD, but of course he is.. he is a child rapist!!
& as for East Fife.. they should learn to shut their cakehole!
Cause TWO WHOLE YEARS LATER he was still on the board of directors (until Dec 3rd 2001) I mean, let’s not pretend East Fife had cut all ties!! Or in fact ANY ties for that matter!

NONCE Noonan JAILED for 11 years
MAY 3rd 2018
Gangster Dominic Noonan, 53, has finally been convicted of child sex offences
Found guilty of 13 historical sex offences against four boys aged as young as ten
Was long suspected of being sex offender but police struggled to find evidence
Already serving sentence for arson, blackmail and perverting course of justice
A gangster has been jailed for 11 years after being found guilty of 13 historical sex offences against four young boys aged as young as ten.
Dominic Noonan, 53, also known as Domenyk Lattlay-Fottfoy, denied all charges against him in a month-long trial, but has now been convicted unanimously by a jury.
He is already serving an 11-year sentence for arson, blackmail and perverting the course of justice, passed in 2015. The latest sentence will start after he has finished serving that.
For decades, Noonan was suspected of being a predatory sex offender by the police, the public, fellow villains and even members of his own family.
But he did not have any criminal convictions for a sex offence to confirm the rumours – until now.
The defendant, from Moston, Manchester, was described as a ‘persistent sexual offender’ on the first day of his trial, as he pleaded not guilty to all charges including eight counts of indecent assault and attempted rape.
The court heard he groomed and molested boys after plying them with drink.
In his opening statement, prosecutor Darren Preston told Manchester Crown Court: ‘It is the prosecution case that over many years, the defendant engaged and was acting as a persistent sexual predator.
home and indecently assaulted him twice, ordering the boy not to tell anyone.
The second victim said he was 16 or 17 when he first met Noonan outside a pizzeria. He told how Noonan threatened him, accusing him of having called him ‘gay’, before he was beaten by a gang of teens with hockey sticks. He then indecently assaulted the boy on a few occasions, once in a disused shop.
A third victim said he was in his early teens in the 2000s when he met Noonan, who molested him on 20 or more occasions. He described how he would spend time driving around with Noonan and other young lads. He would be taken to parties where there was drink and drugs. Noonan would ply them with drink, but not get drunk himself. His victim described being ‘brainwashed’ into thinking the abuse was normal.
The fourth victim was aged in his mid-teens when he met Noonan in the 2000s, agreeing to renovate a pub for him. This victim was said to be completely under Noonan’s spell.
At the conclusion of his trial at Manchester Crown Court, Noonan was convicted of eight counts of indecent assault, one of attempted rape, two of inciting a child into sexual activity, one of sexual assault and one of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.
One of 14 siblings, Noonan became the spokesman for the family following death of his brother Damian, aged 37, in a motorbike accident in the Dominican Republic in 2004, followed by the murder of his brother Dessie in 2005.
Dessie and Damian had worked on the door of the Hacienda in the 1980s and were then said to control the supply of drugs at the nightclub.
When they died, Dominic Noonan became the boss, or at least he gave the appearance of being the head of the family.
A cunning, intelligent individual, he admitted to being ‘thoroughly dishonest’ during his trial. He has trumpeted that he is anti-racist and has made much of being able to speak Urdu although, actually, he only knows a few phrases.
Over the years, Greater Manchester Police have found little difficulty in obtaining evidence to lock him up for everything from possessing a gun to arson and blackmail.
He has spent most of his adult life behind bars. But proving he was a predatory sex offender was another matter. In 2010, a rape charge was dropped. Shortly after he was released from a long prison sentence on licence, he was accused of raping a woman in a hotel room after celebrating his birthday but prosecutors dropped the case.
In 2013, he was cleared of child rape charges after the court heard his accuser had a history of making false complaints. He had been accused of molesting the boy of 15 in a flat in Bloom Street in Manchester city centre.
In 2014 Noonan, jailed for nine-and-a-half years for keeping a revolver under his car bonnet, scaled Manchester’s Big Wheel to protest against plans to recall him to prison.
Police, paramedics and firefighters had to rescue him in a £30,000 operation as more than 1,000 people gathered to watch in the city centre.
Officers said his ‘outrageous’ actions endangered the lives of tourists – including a petrified three-year-old boy – who were stranded aboard the Ferris wheel in Piccadilly Gardens for two hours.
The drama, which began after Noonan was told he had breached his licence conditions, started when he yelled: ‘I am going to jump.’
in 2016, he was found not guilty of engaging in a sex act in front of a minor, although he was convicted of perverting the course of justice by offering £5,000 to the boy’s family to get the charge dropped. The prosecution alleged that the boy covered his face with a poster as a ‘vulnerable’ adult man was intimidated into performing a sex act on Noonan in a bedroom, he was also convicted of arson and blackmail connected to a row over an ice cream van, and jailed for eleven years.
So, while police have tried many times, it is only now that Noonan has been brought to justice for sex offences.

FEB 1997
James Rennie, Jim Torbett, Fairbridge, Youthlink, Mr Watson & the head of the footie inquiry!
I have already shown a MAJOR link between the Rennie / Strachan paedo ring, Celtic & Martin Henry (the head of the footie inquiry)
Here is ANOTHER link!! Through the company FAIRBRIDGE (& there is more here)
There is a section at the bottom of the blog that explains how all the Fairbridges are the SAME COMPANY that have just had slightly different names. (Fairbridge Drake, Fairbridge in Scotland Fairbridge society etc) It also shows some of the “antics” McCafferty got up to whilst TORBETT was MANAGING DIRECTOR of the Scottish Fairbridge called Fairbridge in Scotland
I then I discovered in this article that a Mr Tom Watson was a Director of Fairbridge in Scotland… as can be seen in the screenshot
The article goes on to say….
And then….
By this point i have alarm bells ringing ALL OVER THE SHOP!! So, I started digging deeper! Mr Watson indeed does have A LOT of finders in A LOT of pies.. & every single one, is in relation to “disadvantaged” & disabled Scottish kids…
Fairbridge in Scotland companies house http://archive.li/Cj1nn
On page 2 you can clearly see BIG FAT FOOTIE PAEDO TORBETT right next to Mr Watson, (although obviously they weren’t directors at the same time) And page one has some absolute beauties listed too!
My favourite is Sir Willy McAlpine.. The McAlpines are just renowned for their love of “helping” children!! But you can see by the wiki pish, that his wee brother Ali never admitted being a paedo! &
I’m sure you can imagine my total surprise when I wiki-d Willy only to discover that he had oh-so-conveniently upped & popped his clogs less than a month ago… (4th March 2018 ) Aye… and he was such a pretty man was Willy!
But even before I discovered all that, i had already decided That this all STINKS OF PAEDO. It was the second i saw the word YOUTHLINK, So i checked youthlink on companies house, & right enough there he was! Mr Watson, Page 4
You see, I’ve seen that name before & it was while i was researching of of my recent blogs about the link between Martin Henry (head of the footie inquiry) James Rennie & Celtic Paedo!!
Cause James Rennie, wasn’t just busy being an LGBT director & being a VILE paedo bastard from WITHIN the LGBT office he was sharing with Martin Henry… He was in fact a very busy wee paedo, cause at the same time, HE WAS ALSO A DIRECTOR OF YOUTHLINK James Rennie Companies House http://archive.li/byEzP
So, Mr Watson has been in two different kids “charities” alongside three BIG TIME, known paedophiles.. James Rennie & James Torbett & Jim McCafferty. All who we know were using charities as cover for paedo shite & to get access to kids
Scarier still is the fact Fairbridge Scotland is linked to youthlink, and therefore several other Scottish Kids Charities, including Venture Trust who Mr Watson is also a Director of. Thomas Watson Companies House http://archive.li/2r7kJ
Venture Trust OSCR Venture Trust website
McCafferty was employed by the Drake Fellowship – which went on to become Fairbridge Drake – where he took homeless boys on overnight trips.
Torbett, who was later convicted of abusing three boys at Celtic Boys Club, was the managing director of the charity, which eventually became Fairbridge in Scotland
McCafferty used a Drake Fellowship (sighthill) minibus to take two or three kids at a time on overnight stays to London.
Dad-of-two Iain, 57, said he met McCafferty in 1984 while he was working at Salvation Army’s Raisdale hostel in Barrhead, near Glasgow. The hostel housed homeless teens aged 15-18. McCafferty is believed to have been working for Drake Fellowship at the time. Iain said: “The group concentrated on yacht trips. We would send the kids down near London with McCafferty. They would do team-building training and outdoor activities, things like that. We ran a hostel-type situation for school leavers, aged about 16. Because they were school leavers, there weren’t the same restrictions as in a children’s home. The kids had freedom of movement. We would take them along to their courses and pick them up later on. They would go away for the weekend with the Drake Fellowship. McCafferty had a lot of contact with the kids then. After what he has admitted, this period should be investigated.” The Record’s original whistleblower on McCafferty – who we have not named – told how he was abused in a van used by McCafferty for Drake Fellowship activities. The vehicle was also used by McCafferty to take kids on their trips to London. The Drake Fellowship merged with the Fairbridge Society to become Fairbridge Drake in 1987. The organisation worked with vulnerable young people to help them into education and training.
They became Fairbridge, named Fairbridge In Scotland north of the border, in 1992, Celtic Boys Club coach Jim Torbett was named as managing director in company accounts that year. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/pervert-coach-kitman-jim-mccafferty-9420855
FAIRBRIDGE https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairbridge_(charity)
UK charity that supports young people aged 13–25, that has existed since 1987. Each year it supports around 3,700 disengaged young people who are either not in education, employment or training – or at risk of becoming so – at one of its fifteen centres on the country.
In January 2011 it was announced that Fairbridge will become part of The Prince’s Trust. result of the merging of two organisations, the Drake Fellowship and the Fairbridge Society.
The Fairbridge Society was established in 1909 by Kingsley Fairbridge. Moved by the levels of deprivation he saw in inner city areas of England, he established a charity to offer opportunities and education abroad to young people from broken homes. Currently (2017) The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA ), in full public hearings, is investigating the sexual abuse of children who were removed from British institutions and families between 1947 and the 70s, and taken to Australia and Canada by various charities and churches, including the Fairbridge Society.[1
Operation Drake was launched in 1978 at the suggestion of HRH The Prince of Wales. It was a two-year, round-the-world venture in which 400 young people from 27 nations worked with scientists and servicemen on projects in 16 countries. John Mogg (British Army officer)(also known as Sir Herbert John Mogg) was a Chairman of the Operation Drake Fellowship. In 1987, the Drake Fellowship merged with the Fairbridge Society to become Fairbridge Drake, and in 1992 the name was changed to Fairbridge.
Fairbridge’s patron was Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, its President was Damon Buffini and Vice-Presidents were Lady Dodds-Parker and Sir William McAlpine. In April 2011, Fairbridge will merge with The Prince’s Trust. The united organisation, will be called The Prince’s Trust. 16 centres. The charity operates from team centres in Bristol, Southampton, Hackney in East London and Kennington in South London, Chatham, Kent (based out of Offices within the Historic Chatham Dockyard), Birmingham, Liverpool, Salford in Greater Manchester and Bury in North Manchester, Middlesbrough, Newcastle-uponTyne Cardiff, Swansea, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
UK child deportations of 50s: ‘most catastrophic child abuse’ in memory
“The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA ), in full public hearings, is investigating the sexual abuse of children who were removed from British institutions and families between 1947 and the 70s, and taken to Australia and Canada by various charities and churches, including Barnardos, the Fairbridge Society, and the Sisters of Nazareth. The children, once abroad, were kept in farm schools, where they suffered brutality and sexual abuse, were used as slave labour and deprived of a proper education.” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/09/uk-child-deportations-of-50s-most-catastrophic-child-abuse-in-memory
McCafferty, Torbett, Fairbridge & The Footie
9 DEC 2016
Torbett, who was convicted of abusing three boys while at Celtic Boys Club, was the managing director of charity Drake Fellowship.
Pervert Jim McCafferty worked for a vulnerable children’s charity with ties to notorious football abuser Jim Torbett.
McCafferty was employed by the Drake Fellowship – later Fairbridge Drake – where he took homeless boys on overnight trips.
Torbett, who was later convicted of abusing three boys at Celtic Boys Club, was the managing director of the charity, which eventually became Fairbridge in Scotland.

McCafferty told the Record he had a “footballing relationship” with paedophile Torbett.
Now other victims and co-workers have come forward to reveal the full extent of the links between the vile pair.

Iain Hamilton, who ran a Salvation Army hostel for vulnerable children, told us McCafferty used a Drake Fellowship minibus to take two or three kids at a time on overnight stays to London.
He has been horrified by McCafferty’s confession. He said: “I was so shocked when I saw his picture in the Record. I never had any idea what he was doing. Now I feel sick with guilt. I’m worried I was helping by delivering children to him.”
Dad-of-two Iain, 57, said he met McCafferty in 1984 while he was working at Salvation Army’s Raisdale hostel in Barrhead, near Glasgow.
The hostel housed homeless teens aged 15-18. McCafferty is believed to have been working for Drake Fellowship at the time.
Iain said: “The group concentrated on yacht trips. We would send the kids down near London with McCafferty. They would do team-building training and outdoor activities, things like that. We ran a hostel-type situation for school leavers, aged about 16. Because they were school leavers, there weren’t the same restrictions as in a children’s home. The kids had freedom of movement. We would take them along to their courses and pick them up later on. They would go away for the weekend with the Drake Fellowship. McCafferty had a lot of contact with the kids then. After what he has admitted, this period should be investigated.”
READ MORE The Record’s original whistleblower on McCafferty – who we have not named – told how he was abused in a van used by McCafferty for Drake Fellowship activities.
The vehicle was also used by McCafferty to take kids on their trips to London. He said: “He ran this youth group that would take kids away to outdoor activities. I think the van had signage that mentioned Drake. He invited me to his office in the Sighthill area of Glasgow as well.”
Two other teenage boys also told us they fled a weekend trip organised by McCafferty in 1984.
Another victim, who revealed McCafferty’s links to Crewe Alexandra coach Barry Bennell, who is at the centre of an abuse scandal in England, said he knew McCafferty when he worked for Fairbridge Drake.
The Drake Fellowship merged with the Fairbridge Society to become Fairbridge Drake in 1987. The organisation worked with vulnerable young people to help them into education and training. They became Fairbridge, named Fairbridge In Scotland north of the border, in 1992. Celtic Boys Club coach Jim Torbett was named as managing director in company accounts that year.

Torbett was later convicted of abusing three young boys while at Celtic Boys Club from 1968 to 1974. He was jailed for two-and-a-half years in 1998.
Yesterday, a former Celtic Boys Club player, who asked not to be named, told the Record that Torbett regularly organised matches against McCafferty’s Craigneuk Colts side in Wishaw in 1990.
The player, then 14, he was not abused by either man, but stated that McCafferty would often visit the Celtic youth side’s showers after the game.
McCafferty once took two women involved with Craigneuk Colts to visit Torbett’s Trophy Centre in Glasgow in the late 80s.
A former committee member said: “McCafferty told us he was friendly with the guy who owned that place. We met Mr Torbett there. McCafferty introduced us. He said, ‘This is a good friend of mine. He’ll give you a discount’.”
McCafferty this week insisted that he only ever had a “football relationship” with Torbett.
Torbett resigned his directorship of Fairbridge in Scotland later while awaiting trial for sex abuse.
Fairbridge were later dissolved and their activities came under the guidance of the Prince’s Trust in 2011.
A Prince’s Trust spokeswoman said: “We have checked and our HR records do not go as far back as the dates you have mentioned.”
There were no answer at Jim Torbett’s plush Glasgow flat last night when the Record tried to contact him regarding his relationship with McCafferty.
A witness has also told how McCafferty referred to Torbett as his “good friend” as they attempted to set up a new football team together. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/pervert-coach-kitman-jim-mccafferty-9420855 a

I was thinking…
One voice is never heard. Even 20 voices are never heard.. But an entire football stadium HAS & CAN be heard. (Even I’ve known about the song #BigJockKnew for years..& i don’t even like footie!) Rangers fans unbelievably managed to get #BigJockKnew accidental coverage on MANY CHANNELS, NATIONWIDE, PRIME TIME. Imagine if they were to make a new song just like #BigJockKnew & the fans all sang it regularly.. Well they would do it again wouldn’t they?! Just think of all the hundreds of thousand of people they could reach. That would be incredible & an immense help to the kids I would imagine…
Many Thanks Cat x

External Affairs Minster announced the successful applicants for £7m of funding of projects in Malawi including grants to Christian Aid & Tearfund. In a subsequent Chamber debate Michael Matheson highlighted the work of Father Brian Gowans, a prison chaplain with SPS & expressed a desire to see work moving forward between the SPS & the Malawian Prison.

Father Denis O’Connell thumbing a lift in the PRIVATE PLANE of HIBS OWNER & one of Scotland’s Richest men, Sir Tom Farmer
Farmer owned 90% of Hibernian, He invested nearly £3 million to rescue the club from receivership and he continued to fund developments of Easter Road Farmer was made a Knight Commander with Star of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, highest honour that the Catholic Church can bestow on a layman. He was also knighted by Lizzy in 1997. He supports the charity Mary’s meals (Oddly, Mary’s Meals popped up here too )
In 2006, Farmer donated £100,000 to the SNP to help fund their campaign for 2007 Scottish Parliament general election. Farmer commented at the time that it was not an indication of his political allegiance but that he wanted the SNP to be able to compete financially.. (£100,000.? was that Salmond’s price to…. “look the other away?”)
SNP, apparently Alex Salmond was “SADDENED” at O’Briens resignation Which I must admit, I find a tad odd. The bloke ADMITTED he’s a paedo! Surely Salmond should been pleased O’Brien was no longer in such a powerful position? Obviously not! As he couldn’t wait to sing his praises, even going so far as to pay tribute to Cardinal Keith O’Brien following his resignation
They really were good pals, they even shared love of travelling the country & “visiting” places! So much so in fact, that BOTH USED TO “VISIT” FORT AUGUSTUS ABBEY
Savile & O’Brien “visited” Fort Augustus Abbey!!
Savile & Fort Augustus Abbey
Savile & the Paedo priests of Fort Augustus Abbey
Sadly (or not depending on your viewpoint!)
Sadly & conveniently Savile’s little pal upped & ALLEGEDLY popped his clogs recently! We were told the “dying” Cardinal asked for forgiveness
NOW WASN’T THAT JUST FABULOUSLY WONDERFUL OF HIM?
HE MADE HIS BOO BOO ALL BETTER!!
CAUSE THAT IS WHAT A REAL MEN DO, THEY WAIT UNTIL THE VERY LAST MINUTE WHEN THEY’VE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO BEG & PLEAD FOR FORGIVENESS, IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO RIGHT ALL THEIR WRONGS, HAVING LIVED A LIFE THE DEVIL HIMSEL WOULD BE ASHAMED OF… & THEY DO SO, IN THE PRIVACY O THEIR OWN HOME WHERE ALMOST NOBODY CAN HEAR OR SEE THEM. ESPECIALLY NOT THOSE WHOSE LIVES THEY HAVE TOTALLY ANNIHILATED
WHAT A FUCKING HERO
Back to Hibs, just for a second, what about Rod Petries the Hibs Chairman? What does HE know about O’Brien being a child rapist? Cause he was SO chummy with the Cardinal (who was a regular at Easter Road) that they renamed & christened the Hibernian squad… “O’Briens 11”
McCAFFERTY the NONCE was kit-man & coach for HIBS AND CELTIC
& CHILD RAPIST NEELY (below) was ALSO involved with HIBS AND CELTIC
In fact, the Scottish football abuse inquiry is mainly concentrating around SEVEN football clubs Celtic, Rangers, Motherwell, Partick Thistle, Hibs, Falkirk & Dundee United & THE TWO WITH THE BIGGEST PAEDO PROBLEM… CELTIC & HIBS! & they are blatantly linked by several paedo

As we know, Neil Strachan – one of the paedo ring – worked for Celtic.
In 2011, Strachan‘s original 16 YEAR sentence was SLASHED to 9 YEARS
Coincidentally, James Rennie’s sentence was also MASSIVELY REDUCED

Torbett was said to have been sacked from the club in 1974 when allegations surfaced against him. But fresh claims were made that he abused more youngsters after returning to Celtic Boys Club for a spell in the 1980s and 90s. He denies the new allegations. King also worked at Torbett’s company, the Trophy Centre, but denies being close to him. He said: “Everybody has got different teams. I worked there for about a year but only on a Saturday afternoon” About his time as chairman of the boys’ club, he said: “That was about eight years ago. We left that to the younger ones – we did our stint.” King’s association with Celtic Boys Club dates back to the early 1980s. In 1982-83, he helped run the under-12 team which won an invitational event in Rotterdam, Holland.

I qualified in Social Work in 1974 In 1993 I was awarded the degree of Master of Philosophy (Child Protection Studies) from Dundee University. My professional career has been spent in child and public protection both in the local authority & until early 2008 with Lothian and Borders Police as Executive Officer of Edinburgh, Lothian and Borders Child Protection Office. From 2008 until October 2016 I was National Manager of Stop it Now! Scotland – the national programme for the prevention of child sexual abuse. I have served on a wide range of national and Government Working Parties on Child and Public Protection and am currently a Vice-Convenor of the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group on Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse and member of the Scottish Executive Committee of the National Organisation for the Treatment of Abusers (NOTA).
So by 2003, Hoorah Henry had been a qualified social worker for TWENTY NINE YEARS! & by 2003, he had NINE YEARS extra experience to back up his social work qualifications & his “degree of Master of Philosophy”
So can someone PLEASE explain to me how an apparently intelligent man with THREE DECADES of applicable qualifications & experience, somehow managed to share an office wi a nonce who was using the VERY SAME OFFICE to paedo around online & yet NOT NOTICE ONE SINGLE FUCKIN THING?!!
& that was only a mere two years before he was an “Executive Officer of Edinburgh, Lothian and Borders Child Protection”
& THE VERY SAME YEAR, he also became the National Manager of Stop it Now Scotland?! Therefore, he was arguably, THE EXPERT in paedo, in the whole of Scotland…
& yet STILL he didn’t manage to notice that HIS OFFICE was being used by HIS PAEDO STAFF, to do online paedo shite….. FOR YEARS?!! WTF?
Expert wi paedo?? AYE…. I BET HE FUCKING IS!
& THIS IS THE MAN THAT IS HEADING THE FOOTIE ABUSE INQUIRY?
GEE, I WONDER WHY THERE’S BEEN A ”DELAY” WI HIM PRODUCING THE REPORT

Nazareth House Aberdeen – “Battered” until he was “Black and blue all over my body”
APRIL 27th 2018
Nuns at Nazareth House were angry when police arrived to investigate
A man stripped and beat a boy “black and blue” in an assault at a children’s home, an inquiry has been told.
A witness at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, which is investigating the abuse of children in care, said that the man “battered hell” out of him at Nazareth House in Aberdeen in the 1960s when he was 11.
He said “I thought my time was up” and added that the nuns who ran the home would have been aware of the beating but did not come to see how he was.
The hearing in Edinburgh is now into the third day of examining four children’s homes, all of which have since closed, which were run by the Catholic congregation the Sisters of Nazareth. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/nuns-ignored-beating-of-boy-x7m3sfzrw
A man stripped and beat a boy “black and blue” in an assault at a children’s home, an inquiry has heard.
A witness at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry said the man “battered hell” out of him at Nazareth House in Aberdeen in the 1960s when he was 11 years old.
He told the inquiry: “I thought my time was up.”
According to the witness the nuns who ran the home would have been aware of the incident but did not come to see how he was
Cops receive more than 300 complaints of alleged abuse by nuns at children’s homes
The witness said the nuns who ran the home would have been aware of the incident but did not come to see how he was.
The hearing in Edinburgh is now into the third day of examining four children’s homes, no longer operating, which were run by the Catholic congregation the Sisters of Nazareth in Scotland.
The witness, now in his 60s, who cannot be identified, said he was attacked by the man – a regular visitor to the Aberdeen institution – after he was caught fighting or arguing with another boy.
He said: “He grabbed hold of me. He dragged me into a bathroom and battered hell out of me.”
The man had taken off the boy’s clothes, leaving him naked as he was punched, the inquiry was told.
“I was black and blue all over my body” said the witness, who could not recall how long the episode lasted.
He told senior counsel to the inquiry Colin MacAulay QC he has no idea why he was stripped, adding: “It’s not exactly a normal thing to do, is it, to a young boy? It’s a bit peculiar.”
He agreed he was shouting and screaming during the assault, which left him with bruises “all over my face, my back, my front and my legs”.
Pressed on whether the nuns would have been aware of the incident, he replied: “Yes definitely, they were aware but not one nun approached me.”
He told how he was unable to sleep that night and assumed he would not be going to school the next morning.

However, he said one nun told him: “Don’t think you’re getting away with not going to school.”
The witness told how the bus driver then referred him to the school headmaster and the police were called.
Officers later took him back to the home at Nazareth House, he told the inquiry, at which point a nun “took me into a wee side room and pulled me up for getting the police involved”. He added: “I told her it was the headmaster who called the police, not me.”
The witness said police had a word with the man but he did not believe the man was prosecuted.
“The annoying thing is he was back in the home that night, the next night after he assaulted me,” the witness added. “He was there every night for the next four years that I was there.”
The witness earlier told how the man would regularly turn up at the home at night, but he did not know what the purpose of the visits was.
“All the kids were terrified of him,” he said.
The witness also told how the nuns at the home were “quite abusive” and left him with a phobia of nuns ever since.

A senior figure in the Catholic Church has been accused of orchestrating a “hostile rejection” of claims nuns were involved in the abuse of children.
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry is currently hearing evidence relating to alleged abuse at four former children’s homes run by the Sisters of Nazareth.
Yesterday a lawyer for the victims said Archbishop Emeritus Mario Conti had dismissed the allegations at Nazareth House in Aberdeen while bishop in the city, even allegedly referring to survivors as “the opposition”.
The inquiry also heard the congregation had previously denied there had been volunteers working in its establishments, despite the conviction earlier this year of a man who sexually abused three children at a home in Glasgow in the 1980s while working as a volunteer.
The inquiry, led by Lady Smith, yesterday heard police have received 308 complaints about 194 people associated with the institutions over a 50-year period.
Two senior figures from the order, who are not the subject of abuse allegations, sat in the public gallery as former residents spoke of a catalogue of abuse, including beatings, force-feedings and humiliations administered for wetting the bed.
One former resident, known only as “Rose” and now in her 70s, described one of the nuns at Nazareth House in Aberdeen as a “witch” who would bang children’s heads together or off walls if she considered them to be misbehaving.
The woman, who lived at the home in the 1940s and 1950s, said the children were made to bath in Jeyes Fluid, a disinfectant.
Simon Collins, a solicitor representing In-Care Abuse Survivors (Incas), said there had been a refusal to believe survivors in the past which had led to “missed opportunities”.
He said: “The attitude of the Catholic Church will also feature (in the upcoming evidence), with some letters from the then Bishop Mario Conti of Aberdeen of particular interest.
“In one, while discussing arrangements for refreshments at some sort of demonstration in favour of the Sisters, he makes what appears to be a reference to survivors as ‘the opposition’.
“In another, he issues the challenge that ‘Those who call others to account for their actions must be prepared to defend their own when they make allegations.’ Such remarks were certainly felt by survivors as pressure and threats.”
He added: “It is hard to avoid the thought that the bishop’s apparent anger and energy might have been more productive at the time if it had been put into more serious investigation of allegations as opposed to hostile rejection. He would be an interesting witness in this chapter.”
David Anderson, representing the Bishops’ Conference, said it was clear that not taking matters seriously in the past had been the “wrong thing to do”.
Giving evidence on behalf of the Sisters of Nazareth last year, Sister Anna Maria Doolan admitted children had been abused and said the order was “very sorry”. The inquiry continues. https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/archbishop-conti-accused-of-calling-child-abuse-victims-the-opposition-1-4729804
YOUNG girl was told “the devil was inside” he as she was beaten by a nun at a Scots children’s home.
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry heard claims of beatings at the hands of nuns, force-feeding to the point of vomiting, being locked in a dark room and being made to bathe in disinfectant.
Children were also told that nobody wanted them, the inquiry heard, while one witness said she was told “the devil was inside me” as a nun hit her.
“The psychological damage I saw people suffering … it’s unbelievable,” another witness told the hearing in Edinburgh.
The inquiry heard that police in Scotland have received more than 300 complaints of alleged abuse over a 50 year period at children’s homes run by a Catholic congregation. Officers have received 308 complaints about 194 people associated with institutions run by the Sisters of Nazareth from the 1930s to 1980s. The figure emerged as witnesses recounted a number of incidents of abuse they said they suffered at the order’s home in Aberdeen around the 1940s and 1950s.
The inquiry has begun hearing evidence about homes run by the order in four locations including: Aberdeen, Cardonald in Glasgow, Lasswade near Edinburgh and Kilmarnock in Ayrshire.
In opening remarks, Laura-Anne van der Westhuizen, representing Police Scotland, told chair Lady Smith: “Since 1995, police investigations have been undertaken in relation to reported abuse dating back to the 1930s within the Sisters of Nazareth institutions. Police Scotland has recovered records of complaints received from 308 former residents against 194 persons associated with children’s residences within Nazareth House institutions between 1934 and 1984. To date, 58 files concerning Sister of Nazareth institutions have been provided to the inquiry.”
One witness said today: “We were never loved, ever, by any of them.”
The woman now in her 70s, who cannot be named, was at the Aberdeen home in the 1940s and 1950s. She said she rarely saw her siblings and did not know her surname until she was 12 years old.
The witness told how one nun would make misbehaving children get down on their knees in front of her and she would bang their heads together.
She also recounted having to dust coffins which she believed contained the bodies of nuns and smelt of “death”. “You can’t forget that smell,” she said.
Mark Lindsay, solicitor for the Sisters of Nazareth, earlier repeated an “unreserved” apology to anyone abused in the congregation’s care. The inquiry continues on Wednesday. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/2551156/nuns-abuse-devil-sisters-of-nazareth-child-abuse-inquiry/

‘Throw away the key’
March 23, 2018
Pressure is growing on the Scottish Government to “throw away the key”
for people convicted of child pornography offences who “fuel an industry of child abuse”.
It comes after a number of offenders walked free from Dundee Sheriff Court — despite being convicted of possessing indecent images of children, some in the most explicit category — in the space of a week.
On March 15, 59-year-old Andrew Glenn, of Mains Road, avoided prison despite downloading more than 5,000 indecent images of children — and was even allowed to keep his computer.
Andrew Glenn
Glenn told police officers that he had “never touched any young boys”.
He was ordered to attend the Tay Project programme for sex offenders and was placed under supervision on a community payback order for three years.
Three days later, David Eggleston, 54, of Seafield Road, was given a community payback order as he was deemed at “low risk of reoffending” by social workers.
Eggleston admitted that between January 2012 and August 2016 he took, or permitted to be taken, or made indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children – more than 350 were of the most explicit category.
Meanwhile, city primary school worker Aaron Scott, 31, of Fintry Drive, was found with 2,800 child abuse images and 30 videos of children as young as eight, but was placed on a community payback order following his conviction.
Aaron Scott
Earlier this week, Stuart Grant, a former computer teacher at St Francis Primary School — formerly St Luke’s and St Matthew’s RC Primary – was allowed bail after admitting taking or making indecent images of children between 2008 and 2012, and possessing indecent images of children in 2011.
Grant, 33, of Almond Place, has not yet been sentenced.
Laurie Matthew, who founded Dundee-based charity 18 and Under, blasted the decision to allow the sex offenders to remain at liberty.
She said: “It is a crime against a child – that is a child in these images and videos and they are being abused.
“These people fuel an industry of child abuse and it is just as serious as physically abusing the kids themselves. Personally I don’t see any difference — they should throw away the key.
Laurie Matthew, manager of Dundee charity Eighteen and Under
“It is all well and good putting them on a sex offenders register but they are still out and about.
“It is seen as a lesser offence and that is appalling and disgusting.
“If you have someone willing to access and share these pictures, that is encouraging people to go out and abuse children.
“These paedophiles can stay safe on their laptop or computer — leading to more offences being committed. They have got to be given custodial sentences.”
Laurie said her organisation was “coming across horrendous things” in relation to sexual abuse of children and said it was “very definitely organised crime”.
Joseph Lumbasi, manager of Izzy’s Promise — a charity supporting victims of ritual and organised abuse — said the lenient sentences handed out to offenders was “likely to encourage them”.
He added: “I don’t think that the legal system properly deals with the people carrying out these crimes.
“For anyone who is convicted of these crimes, the only option is for them to serve a jail sentence.”
In the aftermath of Aaron Scott’s sentencing, NSPCC Scotland said in a statement: “Online child abuse images must not be tolerated.
“It is vital that tech companies, law enforcement and government work together to prevent this vile material being published and circulated in the first place.”
