If it was the case that he’d simply blown £35k on Onlyfans with a 17 year old pretending to be 18 I think most folk would chalk it up to him being a fool and not think much more of it. The absence of that detail means his PR isn’t up to it or there’s more to it.

I think a 50 odd year old swiping through teenagers on a dating app, matching a 17 year old pretending to be 18. Flattering the person and then using money to solicit images (on another app presumably) and paying by PayPal (which has been referenced in the media). Pierre summarises the power imbalances fairly well so I won’t repeat, although I’d say ‘young adult/adolescent’ and remove ‘child’. It’s a different kettle of fish.

Notably PayPal isn’t a recognised payment method for Onlyfans as you can’t pay for a pornography platform with it.

Paypal would flag 35K for tax reasons. Come on man use ya noggin
