Well I saw it happen with my own eyes, maybe not to groups but to group admins :D. I can even tell you who did share it, but I think you already know.

ETA - You seem to be quoting as fact - please get yourself verified before doing so - or don't quote as fact.
Thank you sleep, I’ve been trying to think of a way to stay within TOS and ask for verification too. This constant rebuttal without links, attacking the posts of respected members without links and insinuation of inside information is little short of high jacking Williams thread.

Whether we like it or not, Spedding has always been part of the investigation into William’s disappearance and we must be allowed to discuss him without being bullied and harassed, as stated by our TOS. This ISN’T SM. IMO.

Maybe Col advised him to do it? Whatever, it sure didn’t do his cause any good. IMO.

BBM: That could be very possible imo. The video was able to correct Colin Youngberry's inaccurate statement without Spedding directly speaking to the media, or Colin speaking to the media again.


Colin said Mr Spedding had visited William's grandmother's house on Monday, September 8 ....

Well, Colin Youngberry certainly was skirting Spedding's lawyers advice. Perhaps with Spedding's assent?


On the advice of his solicitor, he did not speak to media on Wednesday, but his close friend Colin, with whom Mr Spedding and his wife Margaret are staying while his home is being searched, said .......

Spedding walks from prison

Nothing that I can locate relating to the court case where he was aquitted and I suppose it won't be for some time, until his action against police perhaps is finalised.
The whitegoods repairman was charged with five counts of sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 10 years and two counts of common assault in relation to two girls, aged three and six, in Campelltown in 1987.

During Friday’s bail application, NSW Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Bellow said there were many "substantive issues" with the case against Mr Spedding.

"[There is a] real issue that either or both victims have been coached or cajoled into making the allegations that they make," Justice Bellow said.

"It is difficult to accept the Crown case is strong in circumstances where, as I have pointed out, that one of the victims has no recollection at all about the incident.’’

I have read the judgment when the allegations were first raised. Given the ruling by the judge in that case, I was VERY surprised when prosecution pursued the case and not at all surprised when the charges were dismissed with costs. And I understand the basis for the malicious prosecution claim.

But in the girls’ eyes, justice doesn’t seem to have been done. I also think studies show that the human brain blocks out traumatic events. Too late to give a link, even though I know they’re there, so IMO.

The first case as we all know was in an era when these things weren’t spoken about. The case wasn’t pursued due to the sensitive age of the 2 innocent young girls involved. Those links have been posted over and over.

Sex Crimes against children should not be tolerated in any way, shape or form, no matter who the perpetrator.

It truly amazes me that the indefensible can be defended. IMO

Charges being dismissed just means that they are no longer in court. It can happen when prosecution withdraw the charges, or a defendant is acquitted, or if for whatever reason there is a ruling that the charges can’t proceed.

Exactly. And it doesn’t mean the defendant is innocent either. IMO.

The media either didn’t have access to the earlier judgment or chose not to report it, which I understand.

I wonder who decided that ?

Two children living in an "at risk" situation it seemed from the bits of information we have got from that case in msm. Sadly too many child victims in this world, and what an effed up world we really live in where children are attacked and usually by the ones they should be able to trust the most. IMO.

Might as well go with the reported facts.


The move to have the case dismissed was made as it emerged a police interview with Mr Spedding, in which he denied the allegations, had been lost.

Judge John Pickering took issue with the defence only serving documents on the crown the day before the hearing was due to start.

"This is a serious application for, as I understand it, a permanent stay of proceedings where the allegations are of the utmost seriousness," he said.

The court heard some witnesses had died but that was not unusual in historical cases.

Crown prosecutor Craig Everson said the prosecution would rely on tendency evidence between the two alleged victims and other allegations not the subject of charges on the indictment.

It also emerged some evidence had been lost.

BBM: I feel the same way. When did this thread become about defending Spedding, instead of looking at who could have been responsible for the disappearance of William??

It could have been any of the POIs at the inquest. Let's investigate them all. Poor William. :( :( :(

It is up to law enforcement to find out what happened to WT, and far as i'm aware they have been doing that. Let the investigators do their job.
You can blame the media for the Spedding coverage.
