Oh that is very weird. What was he thinking? Ok no crime has been committed, but...

Luckily it was a boy he was grooming. Had it been a girl, could have been a different outcome.

A pity in a way that they've decided no crime was committed - I would have thought a harassment charge would stick if nothing else.

What this decision has done has almost legitimised online abuse whereas surely we should be clamping down on it before it gets out of control (if it hasn't already).

Royfromaus, and you know it was 'grooming'? I think you should let the police know, share your evidence - they mustn't have had all the facts...

If it ha been a couple of texts I would give him the benefit of the doubt. But hundreds ... he was obsessed with the boy and his behaviour showed a complete lack of judgement.

Prior to this I hadn't heard of him.

Yes, I know grooming when I see it.

the recipient didn't think it was a crime either, so between them I expect they're right. Had he been a woman, I doubt there would have been any different outcome.

they can hardly bring a charge of harassment if the main witness is going to tell the court "I wasn't harassed."

Yeah, but he's SNP so must be guilty of something, right?

I had an impure thought yesterday that Covid-19 might have been induced by agents working for Alex Salmond.
It’s certainly taken his trial out of the headlines.

So if the victim has the wherewithal to deal with it, it's not grooming. I see ...
