Given it was commonly known then, if he wasn't turned away at the door, perhaps those around him should have strongly encouraged him to leave. It shouldn't have taken the Police to attend.

On this point, whilst public judgement should ideally be reserved on the premise of innocence until proven otherwise, with cases like this, I don't think it is unreasonable for groups, trusts, and charities to exercise caution and put some precautionary safeguards in place, particularly when the person in question has had their then-alleged misdeeds exposed in an online paedophile sting!!

Those who continued to invite him to participate in rallies or events after his initial court appearance in late 2022 (or wherever it was) have, at best, shown very poor judgement, especially when you consider children often attend these events.
