Caroline Farrow’s Premature Police Proceedings

Posted on by
Reply

Caroline Farrow has posted on Twitter that her solicitor has brought a claim against Surrey Police, specifically, “my solicitor who was submitting a claim for wrongful arrest against Surrey Police to get it in before the 3 month deadline under the Equality Act expired” (archive). That does not look right to your author, who went to a law school. So the question is, is it Caroline who is mistaken or her solicitor?

Caroline Farrow claims her solicitor has filed a claim in order to get it in by the 3 month deadline. Except there is no such thing. The deadline is actually six years for wrongful arrest, and 6 months for discrimination.

Caroline Farrow claims her solicitor has filed a claim in order to get it in by the 3 month deadline. Except there is no such thing. The deadline is actually six years for wrongful arrest, and 6 months for discrimination.

Quick law lesson: Wrongful Arrest is a tort. It has nothing to do with the Equality Act 2010. It is actually just a name for the tort of false imprisonment, the elements of which are (1) imprisoning the claimant and (2) absence of lawful authority. The time limit is six years save in the case of a claim for personal injury where it is three years.

Police can also be sued for discrimination in relation to an arrest. In this case, the arrest would be one of the elements of the claim (the ‘detriment’) suffered as a result of some protected characteristic, e.g. Catholicism. Such claims are actioned as a breach of statutory duty, also called statutory tort. Non-discrimination is a duty created by the Equality Act 2010. Under the Equality Act 2010, being arrested is a service provided by the state and therefore actionable under s29, which covers claims by members of the public against service providers. S29 claims are brought in the County Court and not the Employment Tribunal per s114. The time limit is six months per s118 (1) (a).

Donoghue Solicitors have a near-complete list of time limits here in case anyone doubts me.

Caroline’s replies are current full of, “yay! Go grrl!” and similar. Since what Caroline has written appears to be mistaken, I have written to her solicitors and asked them to clarify. I am curious as to what proceedings have actually been issued (if any), which solicitors are acting and what the head of claim is. Her solicitor at AI law Tom Ellis read my request for an explanation, but no response has been received. If I have made an error of law, they have not said what it is. If another firm is acting for Farrow in the police claim, they have not said who it is.

With a claim where there is a six year time limit and plenty of time left, it is customary and prudent to wait until the criminal investigation and police complaint investigation have completed so that the Practice Direction on Pre-action Conduct can be completed. Failing to do so may attract costs penalties. Where there is a shorter limitation period like six months for a discrimination claim, it is of course incumbent on police to get a move on within that period or proceedings may have to be issued protectively. It is very unusual to bring the claim at three months and can attract costs risks.

MHN hopes that Caroline’s cheering followers are not about to be disappointed.

There is a more serious issue here however, because Farrow is asking her followers for donations in support of her various legal defences and claims (archive). When asking for money, in my opinion the utmost transparency and clarity is warranted.

Is Kiwifarmer ‘Erasmus of Rotterdam’ Really Caroline Farrow?

Posted on by
29

Yesterday, MHN posted a damning exposé about Caroline Farrow. She was quite a bit upset with my media inquiry letter which was sent beforehand to give her a chance to point out any factual errors. Caroline went so far as posting on Twitter that my media inquiry made her, “throw up in fear” (archive). Today, a user called ‘Erasmus of Rotterdam’, posted bizarre allegations on Kiwifarms, claimed to have hacked MHN and the editor’s PC, but was especially upset about questions 10 and 11 in the letter. Those questions were never published. There are grounds for investigation as to whether the poster was in fact Caroline Farrow, sock-puppetting.

Kiwifarms user 'Erasmus of Rotterdam' posts allegations so fake even Dynastia calls them out. But this person has seen a private letter I shared only with three people.

So, who could it be? Firstly, I do not have a copy of anything uploaded to Kiwi Farms so if a copy of the letter was actually uploaded, I have not verified it is the real letter. However, the poster must have at least seen the real letter to know about the questions. So, there is a limited pool of suspects.

Full disclosure. I do not normally correspond with Stephanie Hayden but as they were a subject of the story, I sent them a copy of my letter. Another went to Simon Just. Finally of course, a copy was sent to Farrow via her solicitors. Not long after, Louise Moody claimed to have read the letter. From time to time, Caroline Farrow has been advised by Adrian Yalland, so I considered he might have had a copy. All of these people have at times been accused of sock-puppetting, save that I discount Farrow’s solicitors as likely culprits having no reason to suspect them of socking nor breach of confidence.

The ‘Erasmus of Rotterdam’ account was created on 1 September 2022. It is an account mostly notable for a virulent hatred of transgender persons, variously describing them as fat, eunuch, paedophiles (note the British spelling of ‘paedophile’ as opposed to the American, ‘pedophile’). The account was created before my beef with Farrow and comments mostly on a debate my supporters and I have little involvement in. Beyond a suspicion they are British, who could it be.

But … we have such a short suspects list. Who would be really, really upset about my article about Caroline Farrow? Who would claim to have hacked my hard drive, when they only actually have access to one document – clumsily trying to be, “down with the kids”, if you can call the members of a stalking site, “kids”. I could just imagine Erasmus beginning a post with, “Hello fellow Kiwi Farmers”. Indeed, I had been talking about this with Hayden and Just all day, also separately with the hacktivist Echo. Echo is a younger woman in her twenties and by eerie coincidence had made the very same point about Farrow being a cringe user of Kiwi Farms.

So, I decided to make use of a tool we have had for some time. An AI neural text analyser. Continue reading →

Caroline Farrow, Paedophile Sadism, Terrorism, Child Protection and the Catholic Church

Posted on by

As a Conservative, Christian, law blogger I have much sympathy with the gender critical movement. I am the author of multiple articles on that side of the debate, for example, “Trump Boosted as American College of Paediatricians Describes Transgender Ideology as Child Abuse”, “High Court Judge Saves 7-Year Old Boy from Being Forced to be Transgender by Abusive Mother” and “Why Straight Men Should Support Lesbians and Feminists Over ‘Drop the T’”. So I was surprised to hear that Joshua Moon was claiming I was assisting a person suing Caroline Farrow as McKenzie Friend (and should, “die”) … because I am not. No offence to either side – but I have nothing to do with Farrow related litigation. The incident has however reluctantly forced me to scrutinise Farrow’s online activities – which I fear may reveal a serious safeguarding failure by the Roman Catholic Church. In my opinion, based on the materials below, Farrow and those closely associated with her have no place in a Christian ministry or anywhere near vulnerable people.

Caroline Farrow Respects Joshua Conner Moon

Caroline Farrow Respects Joshua Conner Moon. So, what is Moon known for? This article explores the man she rates so highly.

Caroline Farrow is a member of the website Kiwi Farms, a site she describes as, “doing the Lord’s work” and, “the basest site in the world”. This is an unusual and concerning way to describe a site that has promoted and facilitated paedophilia, stalking (including child stalking) and terrorism.

Farrow uses Kiwi Farms to, "decompress" and for, "laughter".

Farrow uses Kiwi Farms to, “decompress” and for, “laughter”.

According to her profile (archive), Caroline joined the site on 13 March 2020, she has over two and a half years of posting and 181 posts. The profile also describes her as a, “bulwark” of the Catholic Church. So, her Catholicism is very much associated with the site. So, what is it, exactly? What is this site that Caroline has chosen to endorse in such an enthusiastic (and therefore, it is to be inferred, informed) way?

KiwiFarmsTwitter

Kiwi Farms is run by paedophile sadist Joshua Conner Moon and exists, in its own words for “exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”. Based on her enthusiastic endorsements, Caroline apparently believes this is God’s will.

Kiwi Farms was set up, in the owner’s own words on the site’s now banned official Twitter account for the purposes set out left.

“Gossip and exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes.”

A good example of the, “exploitation” is the site’s treatment of an autistic person called Christine Weston Chandler. Chandler used to live in Ruckersville, Virginia and has been the focus of Kiwi Farms’ interest to the extent they used Chandler’s postal address on their accounts at times – hence the Ruckersville location in the image to the left.

Chandler was stalked on an industrial scale. Female members of Kiwi Farms and its precursor CWCKi would pretend romantic interest and record phone calls or even meetings with them. This included phone sex. The recordings would be shared online for pleasure. This behaviour was well exposed by Margaret Pless in New York Magazine, “Kiwi Farms, the Web’s Biggest Community of Stalkers” (archive).

Vulnerable Chandler suffered as a result of the stalking that continued throughout the latter part of their minority and into adult life. Eventually Chandler was arrested after a female member of Kiwi Farms persuaded him to have sex (or claim to have had sex) with his very elderly mother (archive).

Given the stated purpose of Kiwi Farms, which is also extremely well covered in the media, I asked Caroline Farrow, via her solicitors AI Law – Question 1 – Is stalking the disabled and encouraging sexually activity for the purposes of mockery, “the Lord’s work”?

No reply (and no denial) was received. Continue reading →

FSU Associate Professor Heather Urbanski, WorldCon Head Listener – Has Been Accused of Inappropriate Conduct by Multiple Students – Failed to Respond on WorldCon Child Torture Materials Complaints

Posted on by

Associate Professor of English Heather Urbanski of Fitch State University (FSU) is also the Area Head of Listening at the World Science Fiction Convention 2021. This Orwellian title means she is in charge of the department that handle complaints about breaches of the code of conduct, including sexual harassment and suchlike. It is a title roughly equivalent to, “Head of Safeguarding”. Yet, MHN can exclusively reveal that in her work as a Professor at Fitchburg State University she has, according to RateMyProfessor.com, been accused of of improper behaviour by at least 20 of her students. If true, some of these allegations would appear to meet some definitions of abuse such as bullying or demeaning behaviour. 91% of her students on the site rate her as “Awful”. At the same time this week, she has been condemned by members of an abuse survivor group this week for failing to deal with complaints about distribution of child torture material by reviled z-list author Jason Sanford. Will FSU and WorldCon officials investigate?

Image showing on the left Heather Urbanski's current RateMyProfessor grade of 1.4, on the right her picture with the question, "Enabler?" over it.

Associate Professor Heather Urbanski of Fitchburg State University gets a grade of 1.4/5 (28%) on ratemyprofessors.com. On the site, students have accused her of improper conduct towards them that the university does not appear to have investigated. She has also attracted controversy in her role as, “Listeners Area Head” at WorldCon2021. Members of a group for child abuse survivors have criticised her for failing to take robust action against Jason Sanford, “I don’t think she is a fit person to work in any kind of school […] metaphorically, it [is] like they are holding down a child to be raped and tortured.”, said one.

The current controversy over WorldCon has been brewing for years. There have always been disagreements and kerfuffles in fandom. It is an arena defined by poor social skills combined with extremely passionate interest. In recent years however, vicious political division has erupted throughout fandom such as with the 2014 #GamerGate controversy. Similar concerns have hit WorldCon, with right-wingers feeling they had to organise a slate of candidates for awards to overcome systemic discriminatory bias (archive). Concerns about inappropriate attitudes to paedophilia and child protection have also been an issue for decades and have been well-documented, for example in, “The Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon” by Moira Greyland and Vox Day.

The most recent scandal to hit WorldCon is its disgraceful conduct towards respected female publisher Toni Weisskopf. Weisskopf is the publisher of Baen Books, and last month was the subject of a deeply unethical and misleading hit-piece by Jason Sanford, a bad-to-awful amateur science fiction author. In response, WorldCon removed Weisskopf as a Guest of Honour, making a public statement condemning her (archive). The unjust response of WorldCon to the obviously inaccurate and misleading article led to public criticism of WorldCon and withdrawal of top science fiction authors including David Weber (archive). Weber’s withdrawal is a huge blow to Worldcon. He is vastly more famous than nearly everyone else involved. Not only is he one of the few people involved whose name I recognised, I actually own some of his books. Like, actual paper copies.

Investigation by MHN revealed that Sanford had been openly distributing and selling stories involving harm to minors and minor-bodied fictional creatures. One of these, “The Wheels on the Torture Bus Go Round and Round” involved child torture and what could appear to be grooming. Some of Sanford’s supporters have been trying to minimise the stories, but complaints were made to WorldCon. Heather Urbanski is the “Listeners Area Head” at WorldCon (staff list / archive), the department in charge of dealing with Code of Conduct complaints. As some feared retaliation, I posted my article and the complaint in their Facebook group on the basis that as I am not an attendee, I cannot be banned. I also emailed the official CoC contact email.

Lewisham Deptford Labour Youth Officer Verity Nevitt and Sister are being Sued for Libel, Harassment and Misuse of Private Information. Tweets Admit Drug Abuse and Paid Sugarbaby Sleaze

Posted on by

As a proven victim of sex crime (proven in a court, not a Tumblr post) I obviously sympathise with people who feel that attempts have been made to gag them. Equally however, there is little more vile than a false allegator or someone who wastes law enforcement time. Aside from causing huge distress to the falsely accused (who have rights too, of course) it draws resources from real victims. If a person in one place wastes the time of specially trained officers, somewhere a woman or a child may be raped with no redress. Such people deserve the harshest condemnation. The foreseeable consequence of squandering police resources is the image of a vile rapist or paedophile thrusting into a screaming victim. It is that simple. Verity Nevitt, Youth Officer of Lewisham Deptford Labour, is being sued, accused with her sister of making false allegations.

Verity Nevitt Seeking Arrangement2019-10-21

Verity admits to being a former member of Seeking Arrangement, a site known for prostitution. She also muses about joining the website, ‘OnlyFans.com’. Verity has denied offering sexual services in an email, but has not stated what services she did provide or what services she contemplated providing on OnlyFans. Click for full size.

The Youth Officer for Lewisham Deptford Labour Party, Verity Nevitt, is currently subject to a High Court restraining Order along with her sister Lucy. A summary of the case is that Lucy and Verity are being sued for alleged harassment / stalking of a male Lucy and Verity accuse of rape and sexual assault. They are also sued for libel and misuse of private information. It is important to note that the case has not yet been tried – so the allegations are not yet decided. However, at least one judge thought there were grounds to grant an interim Order.

The Order restrains Lucy and Verity (or anyone else) from naming the man they have accused or providing information likely to identify him. Because of the Order protecting him, I can say no more about his identity. The Order is interim, and may be discharged – an application has been made and Mrs Justice Steyn is currently considering the case following a hearing on Thursday 30th April 2020. I will be interested to read the judgement. Steyn J did a very detailed and thorough job in Baker v Hemming.

Lucy and Verity spent the night with the man after an evening where it is said that they had consumed alcohol and drugs. The dispute is that they say that he raped Lucy and sexually assaulted Verity. He has produced texts and other communications he says prove this is not the case and in which they he asserts they admitted nothing happened. Having seen the texts and posts, police have dropped the rape and sexual assault investigation.

Verity and Lucy have expressly waived their anonymity as alleged victims of sex crime and demanded they be named. They have named and pictured themselves online as the ‘victims’ in the case. After a hearing today, Mrs Justice Steyn made an interim Order that they could be named in relation to the proceedings provided that no details are published likely to identify their alleged victim. This is brave given their copious social media posts admitting to drug use and discussing mental illness. In Verity’s case, she has admitted to institutionalisation and self-harm. She has also admitted to membership of the website SeekingArrangement.com and mused about creating an account on the website OnlyFans.com (archive).

Seeking Arrangement (now known as ‘Seeking’) is well known as one where young women can arrange to meet an older man … for a very large fee. It is generally considered synonymous with prostitution, although not all of the companions offer sexual services – some insisting the sex is merely coincidental and others offering only platonic escorting. Many would say even the latter is sex work. Regardless of what services they offer, women who participate are called, “Sugar Babies”, by the site. Verity denies sex work, but has not clarified further as to what services she claims she did provide (or contemplated providing in the case of OnlyFans). In an email, Verity asked me to research the site, so I did. Vanity Fair published quite a detailed piece on Seeking Arrangement, in which it detailed the experiences of women who could charge as much as $700 per hour for sex (archive).

Alexis Kennedy and Lottie Bevan Should Sue Vile Laurie Penny: Happy to Help Pro-bono

Posted on by
Reply

After the recent tragic death of Alec Holowka, most gaming journalists have had the decency or at least self-preservation instinct to allow a period of graceful silence to fall. Holowka was a game developer who was accused of sexual abuse and imprisonment by Zoe Quinn. Not long afterwards, his former co-workers claimed they could ‘corroborate’ the allegations. Shortly afterward, he killed himself. When facts emerged to show the accusations likely false and the ‘corroboration’ anything but, an uneasy silence fell. Except, apparently, for Wired’s Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) who backed the Holowka allegations and has been attacking the girlfriend of another accusee on Twitter (archive) for daring to defend him. I am making a public offer of pro-bono support to Alexis and Lottie to start suing people.

PennyAbuser

Penny Red attacks Lottie Bevan for daring to dispute the Twitter mob allegations.

It is worth briefly looking at the Holowka case. Per MHN previous coverage here and here a casual legal analysis of the so-called corroboration show it was anything but. The co-workers could back up that he was hard to work with and unstable – but not that he imprisoned Zoe Quinn and assaulted her by penetration. Then, historic tweets emerged that directly contradicted Quinn’s account. She had been going out to meetups whilst supposedly imprisoned and engaged in a last minute game crunch with Holowka, at a time when in her account she was allegedly fleeing in fear.

Quinn’s historic tweets were revealed by articles on Post Millennial (archive) and MHN. Quinn has also been credibly accused of abuse by four unconnected men and is facing questions as to the whereabouts of $85000 Kickstarter money. She promised to deliver her Kickstarter by 2017 and it is now 2019. The allegations against Holowka seem to coincide with awkward questions being asked of Quinn at a time when her income from Patreon has fallen to a fraction of what it was a few years ago.

Monster! Democrat Dayna Steele Suggests Molesting and Starving White Children

Former Texas Democratic Congressional candidate Dayton Steele has sparked worldwide condemnation after suggesting internment of ‘white supremacists’ and that their children be ‘molested’ and ‘starved’. Doubtless Steele did not mean it literally and intended for her political opponents to put themselves in the place of refugees and their children, but such excuses do not make her vile words acceptable. Whilst it is inevitable her crass comments will be condemned by many, it is important to understand the way that some elements of the left make light of child rape and worse, the many sinister groups on the left which engage in more serious and sustained attempts to legitimise paedophilia.

On 16 August 2019 Dayton Steele posted the following on Twitter (archive) – “What if we rounded up all suspected white domestic supremacist terrorists and took their kids from them and put them in camps and molested and starved them? Just curious.”

Dayna Steele Tweet

Dayna Steele’s unspeakably vile words on Twitter.

It would by no means be the first time a vile follower of the left had called for children to be preyed on by paedophiles. In June 2018, Peter Fonda apologised for tweeting calling for Barron Trump to be taken from, “his mother’s arms and put in a cage with pedophiles” (archive).

Esther Baker has dropped her libel defence of Truth in the defamation claim and counterclaim between herself and former MP John Hemming. Full MHN video with details and documentary evidence.

In this video I reveal the facts about Esther Baker’s libel claim against John Hemming that she does not want you to know. Baker has repeatedly solicited money on the basis that she is fighting to reveal the “Truth!” In fact, she has dropped her defence of Truth and there is much she has not shared about her case.

Brave Rape Victims Come Forward to Condemn Sarah Jeong of the New York Times

Posted on by

Sarah Jeong

Sarah Jeong, newly hired at the New York Times, is a racist who stripped a rape victim of her anonymity.

In my previous article I exposed how newly appointed New York Times editorial board member Sarah Jeong had doxed a rape victim, knowing that the act would trigger harassment of her. I further revealed that when the allegations were put to the New York Times they did not deny it, and I quoted their response in full. Now brave victims of rape and childhood abuse have come forward to condemn the New York Times, its leadership and Jeong.

Matthew Hopkins News uses tracking software to track media inquiries. This enables me to see how many times an inquiry is displayed. My initial media inquiry to the New York Times was viewed nearly 800 times after being sent to a single press officer – over 600 in the first 90 minutes after being sent. It is clear that the NYT realises how comprehensively the story destroys their narrative of Jeong being a victim of racism and online trolls.

JeongRape

The New York Times fears this story. My email about this to a single press officer was read nearly 900 times, the first 600 of those in 90 minutes. Readers are asked to please share my last article and this one with every Conservative publication you can.

I was incredibly grateful to users of /r/the_donald (T_D) and /r/KotakuInAction (KIA) for sharing my last article. The story needs to be the “next thing” about Jeong in the national and international media after the racism allegations. Readers are encouraged to share it with their favourite national publications because this is what the NYT fears. T_D and KIA were not the only subreddits to see my article however. Reddit is home to communities made up exclusively of victims of rape and abuse.

One brave victim chose to express her feelings in /r/adultsurvivors/. It is harrowing reading –

Reminder: Racist NYT Board Member Sarah Jeong Doxed a Rape Victim, Opposed Revenge Porn Criminalisation

Posted on by

Sarah Jeong

Sarah Jeong, newly hired at the New York Times, is a racist who stripped a rape victim of her anonymity. Picture CC-3.0 via Wikimedia Commons.

Recently, newly hired New York Times editorial board member Sarah Jeong has come under hire for racist tweets. The racism however is by no means her only Twitter faux pas. In January 2016 Jeong doxed a rape victim by identifying her. In the United Kingdom, naming a victim of sexual assault is illegal unless they waive their right to anonymity. In the United States it is not usually a crime to name a rape victim, but it is one of journalism’s stronger moral taboos and most ethical journalists will not. Of particular note, Jeong republished the identity of the victim in a blog post knowing she and her husband objected and knowing that Newsweek had taken it down. The Times did not deny the allegations, but did appear to distance Executive Editor from the hire, claiming he had nothing to do with it.

In the United Kingdom and many other states rape victims are entitled to anonymity. In the UK, naming a victim of rape is a crime under s1 and s5 of the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992 unless they waive the anonymity. In the United States it is merely unethical but although the Supreme Court has upheld a First Amendment right to deviate from the norm, it is generally considered serious ethical wrongdoing.

Sarah Jeong had been involved in an argument over the content of an online article, which had contained a link that Jeong felt trivialised a rape threat. The dispute was covered in Newsweek’s “Today in Tabs” section. A woman (I have deliberately anonymised) wrote a letter to Tabs complaining about the article and revealing her status as a rape victim. The author of the piece, Rusty Foster, published the letter claiming it was “in the interests of fairness”. After complaints the letter was taken down on ethical grounds just leaving the woman’s legal concerns.

The rape victim’s anonymity was restored. Until in January 2016 the woman’s identity was republished on Jeong’s blog. At the time, I contacted the victim via her husband and respectfully requested permission to write about it, which was granted. In my article I also wrote about Jeong’s friendly online interactions (archive) with Sarah Nyberg, who claimed to be a white nationalist paedophile (archive). I linked to her Jeong’s express opposition to revenge pornography laws (archive).

As my earlier article noted, quoting her, Jeong realised her blog post would lead to the victim being harassed all over again and in that knowledge posted her name. She also despicably accused the husband of using the woman’s victim status as a “weapon”.
