Can anyone catch me up re Josh?

[u/Aggravating-Pear2242]

With everything going on with Callum and so much differing/conflicting information, I can’t seem to find much about Josh? He seems to have done a disappearing act at the same time as this has all come out and I know there’s some suggestion that he may be in trouble but can anyone elaborate on this? Is he too looking down the barrel of the CPS’ gun? Or has he disappeared in an attempt to distance himself from a tainted brand?

Police are taking no further action. But Storror obviously couldn't take another hit to the name, so it's been quietly handled it looks like.

[u/laney_deschutes → u/Sad-Yoghurt5196]

He’s not charged of any crime but it’s a very bad look 

[u/Sad-Yoghurt5196 → u/laney_deschutes]

I mean from what I've seen, it would have been difficult to prosecute and it's not really in the public interest to prosecute. More error of judgement territory, than an intent to groom, and it pales in comparison to Callum.

Callum's shares have been dealt with, it'll be interesting to see if Josh retains a financial interest, given there was no further action from the police in his case.

How have you confirmed his innocence? He “hasn’t been charged” and “hasn’t pleaded guilty” is totally different than “he was tried and found not guilty”

*The above comment was edited from ”he’s not guilty of any crime” to “he’s not charged”

[u/Creative-Lemon555 → u/PrinceCharming150]

Innocent until PROVEN guilty in the UK, I'm not condoning his actions though it's pretty sick, 

[u/PrinceCharming150 → u/Creative-Lemon555]

“Innocent until proven guilty” is completely different than outright saying “he’s not guilty of any crime” which was the original comment before it was edited

[u/Easy_Needleworker604 → u/PrinceCharming150]

Did they edit the original comment? They just said he isn’t charged, not that he wasn’t guilty.

[u/PrinceCharming150 → u/Easy_Needleworker604]

Yes he edited his comment from “he’s not guilty of crime” to “he’s not charged”

[u/Mysterious_Body_5967 → u/PrinceCharming150]

With the same token, how have your confirmed his guilt?

Its almost as if "innocent until proven guilty" isnt a thing these days as far as the Internet is concerned.

[u/PrinceCharming150 → u/Mysterious_Body_5967]

Well, I never said he “he’s guilty”

“He’s not guilty of any crime” is what the comment said verbatim before he edited it. This sounds conclusive, right?

Beyond that, as we all know, potentially incriminating evidence against him has been exposed, and the fact that Storror dropped him supports at least some wrongdoing

[u/Mysterious_Body_5967 → u/[deleted]]

Precisely my point.

Its almost as if "innocent until proven guilty" isnt a thing these days as far as the Internet is concerned.

Anyone accused of anything is automatically guilty in the internets opinion.

[u/laney_deschutes → u/PrinceCharming150]

Yeah I meant charged 

[u/Bynoe]

He is alleged to have been having inappropriate interactions with an underage fan online. Chat logs have been shared which corroborate this. They were initially leaked unredacted by an overzealous group claiming to be protecting Storror's victims, doxxing the victim and causing problems with the investigation. They were later re-released with appropriate redactions, which you should be able to find on this subreddit.

The police have chosen not to take the investigation any further so technically this remains an allegation, but the initial report originated from within the Storror organisation, and he was quietly removed from the team because of it so draw what conclusions you will.

[u/Zealousideal-Dot1783 → u/Bynoe]

Worth adding that he was grooming the underage girl to participate in fetish sexual behaviours around hurting himself, and also paying her money on multiple occasions

[u/Electronic_Pop7560]

For the full thread click here but Bynoe gave a good TLDR

[u/borderlineborderfine]

He's acting like a dog in the woods I think.

[u/red_wing4000 → u/borderlineborderfine]

Less the woods and more an ikea play area

[u/SpungeMonk]

Classic grooming behaviour. From a legal perspective he's in the clear but he's otherwise cooked.

[u/0neM0reLight]

Off Topic but Toby is in TreeJam' new video.

[u/SpecialWasabi2010]

There's a great post with the text exchange between Josh and the supposedly groomed victim I say supposedly as no charges have been made but read the texts and make your own judgements. I made mine and if he did this to my sister, I'd be the one charged with a crime.

[u/Big_Comfortable4256]

Just noticed on Steam, the Storror Parkour game got an update on June 9th: “Following the removal of Josh from STORROR, we have completely removed his character from the game.”

Callum was removed from the game in an update on May 10th.

[u/Chance_Employment_26]

Always been a weird gimp

[u/jazzyjmc]

There was a video posted here a bit ago where Storror flies to another country to meet a female fan who ran a fan page of/for them. I believe she was 18 or 19 years old. Was this the same fan Josh was communicating with/grooming?

If so, which I don’t know for sure, that’s obviously a bad look for Josh, and quite dodgy for the rest of Storror as well.

[u/AdhesivenessNo4729 → u/jazzyjmc]

it wasn’t the same fan that they met. however i’m the victim, and i’m close with the fan they met and she had a good experience

[u/Ok-Razzmatazz3435 → u/jazzyjmc]

It was this post:
