Is the whole thing weird? Absolutely, should he have done it? Absolutely not, but applying terms to people without any evidence is proven to be dangerous, he’s lost his job, he’s lost his management, he probably won’t work again, people have got what they wanted, so until an actual allegation appears, the rest is really all just noise

The pearl clutching is appropriate when a 50 year old married TV star has an affair with someone they have known since they were child. Its ill advised at best.

True, and IMO its unlikely any criminal charges will be filed. There have been no actual crime reported but both Schofield and McGreevy have admitted to lying about the affair. There may be civil charges in the future.
