ATTN: MISS.PATRICIA WEN – TOD WALLACK – SPOTLIGHT TEAM & ANY OTHER INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS – URGENT.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I am writing to you in regards to a major sporting scandal ,which has been circulating within Scotland for at least 50 years now,where a football club called GLASGOW CELTIC FC ,has had 6 boys club coaches/employees handed jail sentences for child sex abuse offences,committed within the football club grounds and on tours abroad also,one of which was a tour to new jersey in the 1990’s.
One of these coaches has been jailed TWICE now,after attempting to regain employment within the club,after his first conviction and a club photographer for the clubs official magazine,was caught with over 250 photographs of children in his locker within the stadium.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and this den of depravity needs broken down and exposed.
I have attached for your information a copy of a timeline of these historic offences for you to investigate hopefully.The similarity of these historic sexual crimes against children under their care,run parallel to your own sex crimes investigation ,which resulted in the film “spotlight”,it also runs systematically parallel with the sex crimes committed at your own PENN STATE football club,this is on the same scale ,with over 100 plus victims in discussions with lawyers on how to get justice and compensation for themselves.
At present,there are calls for a major,independent and transparent public inquiry to be held by a neutral body,but as yet,our own government in Scotland,the SNP party,led by our first minister Miss.Nicola Sturgeon have ignored calls for this inquiry and along with the justice secretary for Scotland ,Mr.Humza Yousaf ,have ignored all calls for an acknowledgement to the victims,or even to make comment on the historic sex crimes of this football club,nothing short of a national scandal and a world sporting scandal.
Some of the victims are alleged to have signed NDA’s ( non disclosures) to buy their silence but apparently there could be evidence of these lodged somewhere safe for the time being.There is also talk of a major documentary ,possibly on the level of the spotlight film to be aired,where this sordid den of depravity,will be in the main spotlight.
We really need,you and your paper to pick this story up and run with it,especially on the alleged crimes committed on AMERICAN SOIL.
These crimes have been committed and then covered up for 50 years,by a succession of club directors,allegedly involved in other corrupt financial deals,as well as being photographed in the company of some serious paedophiles,such as JIMMY SAVILLE,britains most notorious paedophile and britains shame,GLASGOW CELTIC are scotlands shame.
We have also made attempts to highlight this in local media outlets,be it national newspapers,social media,forums and radio etc,as yet,a few papers have run a few stories on it,but mostly,the papers are reluctant to put their heads above the parapet ,with the exception of a journalist called Mr.Marc Horne of the times newspaper,who has been delving into it and revealing the crimes to the wider public ,slowly but surely.We are fighting for justice for the victims of this football clubs sexual abuse crimes and need your help to expose these monsters for who and what they are,as you did with spotlight....CAN YOU HELP?....WILL YOU HELP?
Now,one of the crimes committed,allegedly took place on AMERICAN soil in new jersey in the 1990’s,when the boys club carried out a tour there and the youths stayed with parents of the opposition players as we understand,I have posted below for your information,a copy of the article,which appeared in the Scottish newspaper the daily record in 1996,once an allegation into this abuse was made.
i** i inserted the airport cover up story here
Now,this is just one article of many on the internet available to see,with the main paedophiles in jail at present being, JIM TORBETT...FRANK CAIRNEY ....JIM MC CAFFERTY....WITH MANY MORE TO BE REVEALED,ONCE THE SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON THEM.
I hope you will seriously look into this story and in particular,the alleged crimes,which took place on AMERICAN SOIL and askquestions,as to why the police took no action and why the parent in question,decided to only report to the club and not the police,as any respecting parent would do.
I,along with others,sincerely hope that you will continue the fight against child sexual abuse crimes and take up the gauntlet and bring this sordid club down.
I would be grateful if you could also supply me with any other contact email addresses of journalist,whom you might think would investigate....first to the story in America....winner takes all.
Kind regards on behalf of the victims
