He was exploiting him before his dad's death.Sounds like a vulnerable person who Torbett has exploited after his dad's death, that monster's preferred target, I hope the guy can get out his bubble and see sense.

As I asked above, it's shocking that no MSP/MP has asked for a public Inquiry into this sordid affair but maybe all of us that use twitter & social media could get it trending on twitter.
I haven't read this piece but is he not the guy who was abused by Torbett and has a bit of Stockholm Syndrome with him?An associate of Celtic Boys’ Club beast Jim Torbett is trolling the family of one of his victims on social media.
William Gilbert has targeted relatives of the late Andrew Gray in a series of tweets.
One shows him at a shooting range in the US saying he’s “got out all the evil from my system. Let’s shoot for the public inquiry everyone wants”.
In another, he mocks Andrew’s death saying that alcohol and swimming don’t mix.

Put them in with the general prison population, they may think twice about indecently assaulting a child if they know they will get a kicking every day.Instead they get a cushy wee segregation unit where they & likeminded individuals can swap stories.you cant re-educate a Paedophile its their sexual prefrance
Jailing them and the segregation to protect them just cost the state fortunes
instaead of testing new medicines and treatments on poor animals who have done no harm to anyone, do the trials on these subhuman c***s
hope the Police that Police act on this, and the PF don't misplace the evidence
No, he played f
No he played for CBC, he is a close friend of Torbett however has 2 kids.
His father was a sergeant in the police but committed suicide.
I worked with his father he was a decent man, although he followed Celtc.
That’s what he said in his tweets on the thread SM posted the other day, I’m sure.Are you sure William Gilbert has kids?
Go on then budTime to press the SFA and SPFL. They are being negligent regarding what has gone on at CFC.
Not a statement, nothing ,zilch, an absolute disgrace.
fellow predator. The local police authority in the US needs to investigate this guys hard drive
Mate I had a breach of the peace from 10 years before , and had to go go to Belfast for a visa , I mean FFS .I’ve often thought that - how the hell did Torbett get into the US!? Surely his record would automatically deny entry.
As did I, there was another one at it calling Helene a prick along with other vile abuse. Tried twitter this morning, my account's suspended.I read that exchange at the time, told the prick what I thought of him too.
A vile bheast apologist.
Don't think we will ever see an enquiry. Too many people and organisations would be exposed, sadly.still no MSP's demanding a public inquiry into this scandal!

DIdn’t know that. So many victims of this whole scandalous decades-long disgrace.The sad thing is that Gilbert’s dad took his own life as a result of this. Torbett took refuge in the Gilbert family home when news of his antics first broke.
Exactly, you really have to ask yourself what it is they're afraid of.
Who is this guy? Someone who doesn’t think Torbett guilty? I’m guessing a bit of Stockholm syndrome here, wonder if he’s a victim himself.
That horse has now bolted.
They are fuked this time..
No don't agree full public inquiry will happen.There might be some sort of financial outlay for them , but if you’re expecting a public enquiry into all of this or the football authorities to take the appropriate action , well you’ve got more chance of meeting the tooth fairy I’m afraid.
that's what I was saying above, we can keep this question on the agenda every day on social media. we all have a voice and we could all use social media to make sure this never goes away for them.Don't think we will ever see an enquiry. Too many people and organisations would be exposed, sadly.
Totally agree,they should be getting pelters from everyone but our mhedia are watering it down,some just don't report it ffsThere seems to be a complete lack of willingness to hold them account.
And this...
and this...
Any other organisation would have been closed pending an enquiry, apart for them and the catholic church.that's what I was saying above, we can keep this question on the agenda every day on social media. we all have a voice and we could all use social media to make sure this never goes away for them.
Here's what i expect them to pull.
Remember the name change in 1994 ????
The silence of the bams, both of these organisations are unfit for purpose.Time to press the SFA and SPFL. They are being negligent regarding what has gone on at CFC.

The Other Side of Paradise
The following article appeared in Scotland on Sunday on 18/08/96.
So Torbett started the boys club in 1966 , was kicked out by Stein in 1976 but allowed back in sometime after Stein's death in 1985.
Torbett was then dismissed in 1996 for a second time after the Daily Record allegations.
Not sure if this has been asked or mentioned previously, if so feel free to delete/ ignore.
I know that online petitions are all the rage these days and by law the government are required to acknowledge, respond to and in some cases debate them depending on the volume of signatures. Is there any way of setting up a petition for a public enquiry and in doing so forcing the hand of the government to respond to these calls?
As I say not sure if this has already been discussed and dismissed but just a thought to get round the deafening silence coming out of certain parts of Scotland about these crimes
There is a bit of confusion about when Torbett was there.Re-Torbett
seen it mentioned he got back in there in 1980. Stein was very much alive . McNeill was manager,and Stein had the Scottish job
Seems to be mate. Different sources have him booted out in 1974 and 1976. Some claim he came back 3 years later,some say 78,79 or 80. And a hell of a lot of Wikipedia pages regarding people connected to CBC/CFC have been scrubbed clean of dates etcThere is a lot of confusion around about that point.

"Torbett had two stints at the Boys Club, the first from 1966 to 1974.
He returned to the Boys Club in about 1978 and stayed until a series of Daily Record stories revealed abuse claims against him in 1996."
