At the risk of opening up some more criticism for myself, I can tell you after I have now consulted authority on the subject as I am only a student.
I thought this mostly myself but have checked to make sure.Thank you for the question as I have learned sonmething from this.
Outside the house, Conor's offensive words and threats about Deana if reported would have had Conor likely spoken to, much as it did by BB in the house.
He got, we are told a formal warning from BB and if he did it again or threatened to, he would be out.
Outside too,he would have been interviewed more formally by the police for the second comments/threats if made and if the incident was reported.He could have been in trouble,yes.
As for the manhandling as to Scott you mention, Scott made no complaint,therefore nothing could be done,BB,and clearly this was an issue for them and they saw no reason to act either, with no objection formally to the incident by Scott or anyone else, there would be no legitimate reason to act on it.
Since in neither instance, the comments or perceived threats as to Deana or any 'manhandling 'of Scott,(if Scott sees it that way,) has been repeated or threatened to be repeated,therefore there is again no legitimate reason at this time for further action as to Conor by BB or outside authority.
It is not as I pointed out, that Adam committed the initial act on Arron that would be the problem in the main, it is when Arron asked it to stop and said he was going to move beds.
That then, with Adam saying he would do it again and again no matter which beds he moved to, that is when the prank became more harrassment and intimidation.
In the UK we do not have intimidation as an offence, it is under coercion, in that if someone tries to force someone else to do something they don't want to repeatedly,that can be an offence under harrassment law guidelines in the UK.
I may have gone on too much on this to a degree but law fascinates me as I am studying law, Adam and this incident has helped me actually to learn some vital facts I will need next year.
I am sorry in advance to have such a long post to answer you, but there is masses of detail I have had to leave out just to say the above, the law is extremely comeprehensive and intricate too.
