Detective uncovers fabricated disability to hold child abuser accountable

Detective Constable Matt Gibson of Leicestershire Police played a crucial role in exposing the deceptive tactics of John Siddell and his brother James. In June 2021, John Siddell faced allegations of sexually abusing three boys under the age of 14 in Leicestershire. To evade justice, John and James pretended that John was severely disabled, claiming he could neither walk nor speak, citing strokes and mobility issues. Despite initial forensic psychiatric assessments suggesting John was unfit to stand trial, Gibson remained suspicious. In April 2024, a chance encounter revealed John upright and alert, contradicting the brothers’ claims. Further investigations, including witness statements and CCTV footage, confirmed that John had been participating in social events and attending football matches, demonstrating normal mobility and communication. The brothers were eventually charged with perverting the course of justice. John admitted to 15 counts of child sexual abuse, while both brothers admitted to obstructing justice. They attempted to disrupt proceedings by feigning illness and refusing to attend court. John received 15 years imprisonment with an extended two-year licence and a 20-year sexual harm prevention order. James was sentenced to two years and nine months. The case highlighted meticulous planning by the siblings and the perseverance of law enforcement in ensuring justice for the victims.

#Apple lies. I'm not surprised *that* this is true; I'm surprised *how* this manifests.

I was looking for a #game in the #AppStore. Not a specific game, but some kind of puzzle game that has reasonable #privacy practices.

Apple is *all* about how their #App Store has only curated #apps.

There are up to three parts to this standard disclosure. This particular set has the following:

- #Data shared across all the apps on your device that is used to #track you

- Data linked to your #identity that the app is not specifically sharing

- Data that is *not* linked to you with no indication whether or how it's shared

This particular set lists #Identifiers in both the "Data Used to Track You" section and the "Data Not Linked to You" and these are mutually exclusive.

Same for #UsageData that is "Data Linked to your Identity" and "Data Not Linked to You"

wtaf?

There's some kinda #fraud happening here, though I can't say I'm shocked. #Logic should prevent this listing from even being possible. You cannot track me with something not linked to my identity. Likewise, something cannot be both linked to my identity and *not* linked to my identity. I'm not the brightest cookie in the drawer, but this isn't rocket surgery, either.

And no, I didn't install that game.

"Across the country, doctors accused of inseminating their patients with their own sperm — without the patients’ consent — rarely face legal consequences. While at least 50 such cases have become public in the United States, few perpetrators have faced criminal charges. Few were forced to stop practicing."

Så var der et familiemedlem mere der hoppede i - denne gang et lidt for godt tilbud på en airfryer fra #Cosori. Websitet så officielt ud og betalingsprocessen ligeså, bortset fra at man bed mærke i at betalingsmodtageren pludselig var "BettyGosse". Betalingen blev dog gennemført med MitID.

MitID-forløbet kunne indikere at der er tale om en reel betalingsaftale, men en der er tegnet for "BettyGosse" - en helt anden butik. Kortet er nu spærret for en sikkerheds skyld.

Umiddelbart ligner det samme scam som set tidligere - en håndfuld websites efter samme overordnede opskrift, Google Ads og én betalingsaftale og så er det ellers om at få gennemført så mange salg som muligt, før folk begynder at modtage deres forkerte varer og problemerne begynder at vise sig.

Gode bud på et nemt råd man kan give videre? https://www.trustpilot.com er en god start, men er der andre "tjek-sites" man kan anbefale folk? Dansk kunne være en fordel.
