John Cullen the Celtic View Paedo photographer.

[Harthill Bill]

I am not so sure,she was really dislikable,she was always boasting about her husband being a celtic employee and as I say she would be in first thing on a Monday giving it some if we lost but would be avoiding the shop if they lost.
We used to make a point of watching out for her after they lost and giving her some pelters as she walked past.
The family didn't deserve the shame her husband/father brought them though no matter what obviously.

I just hate the fact that the rest have had their photographs plastered all over the internet and this bastard remains anonymous.

One of us could be living right next door to him and be none the wiser.

So what has became of Cullen and Strachan in recent years, surely authorities are keeping tabs on all nonces.

Really good point Bill.

Would expect Strachan is still in jail. He got life so assume he’s still inside

Cullen and no photos is weird given he was the official CFC photographer and was employee for 30 years

Maybe he’s dead ?

Get the Paedo Hunters onto them and find out if there is any other crimes been committed since his trial

Also that Gerry King not getting jail time for abusing 4/5 kids is a f.ucking disgrace

Paedo Hunters should defo be tracking this c.unt

The King trial outcome was certainly odd, slap on the wrist for abusing kids- you would expect the media would be up in arms about it yet not a peep.

Cheers mate. There is just no limit these people seem to go to in their hatred of the world’s most successful football club

 

[MrStruth]

I’m no weirdo beast so can’t comment on their logic but a post on here the other day really opened my eyes to this guys particular case.

See if you were a beast and you had a collection of horrific photos like that would you store them in a bin bag in a locker? Or would you have them in a very secure and safe place. Seems a bit odd to me that they were left in a locker in Work premises and opens up two possibilities for me.

1. It was far more widespread in the club than even just the convicted and encouraged/led to an environment/atmosphere that made
People drop the guard to alarming levels. This was in fact the norm.

Or and far more interestingly;

2. This guy was a fall guy and set up to be found and take the heat of the true beasts in the club.

Someone in here suggested the second option is plausible. For me it would be very worthwhile in an open public enquiry to investigate this guys position a lot more closely.

.... and kept in there for almost 20 years.

He clearly felt it was safer keeping the photographs there than at home.

 

[Gazza's one last run]

Saw Andrew Gray's mum on Twitter, distraught. Still doesn't know if her son is one of those boys in the pictures.
Anyone not done so, have a read through her Twitter timeline.
Completely heart breaking and infuriating.

 

[CooperShoots]

Is it the norm for a Football Team to have an official photographer based at the stadium. With storeroom space and locker. Sounds really weird to me. Why would anyone be required in an official capacity like that.

 

[mrsjr1872]

I would be very surprised if there is not far more sickos than the 7 names that are common knowledge, this needs an enquiry and not one ran by a snp puppet.

to me the fact saville was kicking about them while it was going on tells me it's nationwide and involves some very high profile people too many things don't add up how did torbett manage to get into the usa to live with his convictions? why did they pay him after his conviction? despite everyone knowing for 30yrs what's went on no ones investigated it? imo it's been covered up from very high up but I'm just a painter what do i know

 

[bear wi nae hair]

He apparently took the photos at a house and there is nothing in the article to say the kids were in any way connect to any football team, he used the cupboard as his plank.

Interesting that he found Celtic Park a safer stash than his house though eh?!? Very interesting.

 

[Bobafett Bear]

Exactly.

Incidentally, great job you are doing in helping people affected in this mate.

Don’t be silly mate,we all have a duty and we are all helping with our input,tweets and emails keeping this on the front foot on these hideous crime’s against kids.

It just so happens one of the kids was my best mate,and we all want the same GR.

Thank you for your kind words buddy.

Exactly. Or they aren’t his..........

Either option is horrible and paints an awful picture for CFC.

 

[weetam3106]

Just had an argument in the boozer with a ***.

“Man” he sais (and I’m using the vernacular), “none of aw rat stuff wiz tae dae wi shellick innat!” Pyoor separate legal entity in aw rat.”

Honestly these clowns are clutching big time.

 

[pelem]

Somebody should peer intae the past of that guy mcglone also.

You never know as he worked there also.

Strange that there wasn't even an image of Cullen in the report...

 

[Ciro]

The current venacular from the SFA, when we had our troubles was ''Prima Facie'' case to answer. A Paedophile at a club, where a Peadophile Ring was in operation, took indecent photos of boys.

The problem the SFA have with the Celtic paedophile ring is a former SFA president, Jack McGinn, appears to have been one of those at the centre of the cover up.

McGinn, like Kevin Kelly, has questions to answer in the cover up and the SFA are naturally going to be tarred by that.

It’s self-preservation as it always is in these types of cover ups which is why for decades it’s never been properly investigated in this country.

I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if some of the politicians, religious leaders, police and judges of the time were also linked to the likes of Torbett, Cairney, McCafferty, Bennell etc

 

[spotlight]

If some clever person could combine all these different events, reports, convictions etc together, it would be a real eye opener for everyone.
Especially outwith Scotland

 

[Bumplittledipper]

The Police must surely still have these photographs ,all photos taken at this house surely even neighbors would have seen a steady procession of kids entering leaving house over the days/weeks/months/years etc

They managed to lose evidence of hanging mannequins that was shown on tv so I wouldnt bet on it.

 

[Kathmandu]

Can you show me evidence of this .
I mean there seems to be no mention of any proper investigation .
In fact who did the investigation .
Can they be trusted in light of every thing else that has been covered up ?
This all needs revisited and the dots joined .

You are correct but going off half cocked and shouting celtic celtic celtic at everything does no good.
The evidence is in the article what evidence do you have that this happened anywhere in celtic property.
The truth is that in society there really isn’t a great conspiracy protecting them at every turn, just as we don’t have a secret society looking after us.

Of course any club can be unfortunate enough to find one, maybe even two, paedo types in their midst without their knowledge, especially back then before Disclosure Scotland and the like were introduced to more actively protect young and vulnerable children. That's not the big issue here.

The thing that makes Celtic's behaviour stand alone in world sport, in terms of it's depravity, is the manner in which the club, it's staff and it's officials behaved after allegations landed on directors desks in Celtic Park.

They quite evidently helped cover up the paedophile ring, and in doing so enabled more children to suffer. That is inexcusable, and any punishments they receive will be deserved, be those financial, thrown out of football into the lower leagues or stripped of honours, for "honour" and Celtic are clearly complete strangers to one another.

The reason an Public Inquiry is appropriate, is because these events were supposed to have been thoroughly investigated at an early juncture by both directors of Celtic F&AC Ltd and the Police. It now emerges that both were handed lists with up to 15 names upon it of alleged paedophiles operating in and around Celtic, and yet only one man was held to account, Torbett.

What sort of club investigation and police investigation fails so dismally to even scratch the surface of a now confirmed paedophile ring operating right under the noses of Celtic staff and directors and the Police.

Only a Public Inquiry into this entire affair (including the role of the SFA and SFL at the time) can ever get to the bottom of how this horror was able to be concealed for so long while children and victims continued to suffer.

I wonder if she stood by him..?

 

[Bazoo]

Specialist paedo investigators were unable to identify ANY of the boys?
Not a single one?
Despite the fact they were all from one specific fitba club within a specified time period?!?!?!?
Some specialists, FFS!!
Specialist at what?
Specialists at covering up the facts in case the names being known led to a greater degree of public interest and the real threat of financial compensation to victims and their families?

I wonder if they are now working the McCann case?

 

[Gogso]

I imagine because it was cleaners that found it which meant the secret couldn’t any longer be kept to the confines of the hierarchy

It would just take one decent human being with integrity.
With all due respect, did it really have to be a cleaner?
