R128!! First I've heard of this story! That's wild.
Let's break down the allegations presented:
[quote] An England player was embroiled in a £30,000 blackmail plot after sleeping with a transgender escort during lockdown, according to reports.
If this really happened in private and hush-hush, on the deserted streets of lockdown 2020, it's hard to figure out how this story ever leaked. Presumably the escort blabbed herself, or a vindictive friend/ex to the player leaked the info. If it's even true.
'Sleeping with' is also a very vague euphemism, that could mean anything. Maybe there was no cock-to-cock contact, maybe the footballer didn't touch the escort and only got serviced himself. There's shades of grey when it comes to these encounters.
[quote] The Premier League star is said to have contacted the pre-op woman after coming across her profile on an escorting website. As reported by the Sun, he visited her £1,000-a-month city centre apartment numerous times and paid her for sex in a transaction worth £150 in April 2021. The player, reported as being a household name, was obviously hoping the clandestine trysts would remain under wraps.
Cheaping out on a mentally-ill escort is basically begging to get exposed. These football men at the top-level make £500k a week, and they can't occasionally chuck £500 per time at a sex worker? Fucking rude. Though this escort in particular clearly isn't doing too badly financially, if he can afford a central Manchester city-centre flat--Manchester is a dive, obviously, but it's still a cultural centre of the North and property is mad there.
'Household name' is a bit redundant to say about this England team, as they're the most famous one since Beckham's millennium squad. Everyone in the country knows at least a handful of them by name and face, and the majority are probably quite well-acquainted with them in a para-social way. I suppose this is the Sun's way of bread-crumbing that this name they're allegedly sitting on is a 'big name' starting senior player, not in the England squad reserves or juniors (a relief).
[quote] However, the escort reportedly recorded him without his knowledge, saved his text messages and took photos of him in his car outside her flat. She then used that material to blackmail him to the tune of £30,000, which the player then paid her in cash, it is claimed.
1. Hard to believe a very-famous footballer wouldn't check a hotel room for devices before engaging.
2. These football men don't really use text or iMessage, they move through self-deleting temporary Snaps and confidential dating apps.
3. Don't quote me on this, but I'm sure Jack is still legally barred from driving (after his fourth DUI offence). So if the part about pics of the car is true, there's a chance it was Jack in a rental with a paid driver, it was Jack driving illegally, or much more likely that it wasn't him.
4. £30k is peanuts if you're blackmailing a Prem star. He makes that for three days of work. Go big or go home. Get half a mill out of him or more, gurl!
[quote] He then reportedly went to the police, and the woman, who has surgical enhancements, was then arrested in June on suspicion of blackmail and questioned about their meetings. But the player refused to give a statement, and the probe was left on file.
So the way I'm reading that is the escort has breast implants but intact genitalia? Grim. These downlow ballers, if they crave dick, are surrounded by their choice of hot athletes in proximity, some of them friends down to experiment--so why go to a gross shifty sexually-confused fetishist who has no job except whoring?
Wasting police time is an offence too, I thought. Stressed officers probably aren't happy about it. Oh well, footballers innit? I'm sure some palms were greased.
