Does anyone know anything about FA Safeguarding Investigation progress - led by David Gregson?

Nothing's been said since Nov 2024!

Been told investigation is to do with concerns relating to multiple (10+) r@pe of underage girls and s@xual assault of young women allegations made to police against DS since 2008 at least!

A ton of stuff about allegations on X - see '@RippleEffectUK'

No idea on any of this, but this amused me in the comments on the Mirror's piece about it:

The husband reminds me of a jumble sale version of Michael Winner

Wait until you see the other half, a bridge is missing its inhabitant. Goats are eating in both fields.

NB. Moving this to 'Off Topic' as frankly it's not a thread about Football.

FA and Premier League investigations are response to Police investigations (ongoing)

DS has been investigated for approx 10 allegations of r@pe of underage girls and young women since 2021 (multiple further allegations prior to 2021 since 1980s e.g. well publicised 2008 case).

One investigation - r@pe of 15 year old, remains in  police hands (since 2021).

Believe further victims have come forward since multiple cases NFA'd 2024.

Here's BBC News report ref DS's childrens care homes for girls 12-16 AP Care Homes - fronted by his fiance Ampika Pickston: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c75352xkrl0o

I see. So, you make an allegation of a twenty year old offence to the police who investigate and, despite Sullivan being in the porn industry and being a plausible target for such allegations, find no evidence of a crime.

So then you complain to the FA. Who will do what exactly?

Fucking hell that's Rio Ferdinand with a new pair of tits. The Trans community got to him. 

Talking of Sullivan and safeguarding, a delightful story about his current floozy, Ampika Pickston and the children's home he funded, and which she has been judged unfit to manage

While an investigation is in progress, it becomes a very useful controlling tool for keeping somebody in their place.

Once the results are announced - either way - it loses any potency it had.

Fuckin FA are gutless
