Just having a beer and catching up now. Wow. Some pretty heavy news from today. I was half-expecting it but I'm surprised by the extent.
As I said, and was shut down because of it, this is not that outrageous or unique for young people. It just isn't. But having an account on those specific sites is. I've never heard of Whiplr, but it seems more like a traditional dating app where you put up photos and swipe if you like them, than Fetlife which is a bit more of a social network (and looks like Myspace circa 2009).
Does anyone know if Millane's profiles on either are still accessible?
Again: pretty wow-ed by all of this.
It definitely opens up the accused's perspective and potential for his story to be, in parts, true: specifically the part that he did not intend to kill Millane and did indeed pass out in the shower.
It's a shame they never asked any concierges if he was indeed regularly carried to his bed drunk. If they said no, it'd be a dent to his story. At the current rate, things have gotten better for him.
He is a creep and has serious issues, but people shouldn't get obsessed with those details.
