Stop defending pedophile apologists before you know the full facts of the case.
Her father raped and tortured (a car battery was involved) a ten year old. This happened over multiple days whilst the child was tied to the rafters in the attic of the family home. This is the same house Aimee Chancellor was living in at the time. But she claims she didn't know and she was not on trial. Regardless, during the trial photos of Aimee with the victim were discovered on Amiee's phone.
After her father was arrested and charged with 22 counts of sexual violence, she forged documents in order to hire him as her election agent. This is a position where he would have had contact with children. She was kicked out the Green party when this came to light.
She then joined another political party, and was kicked out of that after her fiance was found to have tweeted:
"I fantasise about children having sex, sometimes with adults, sometimes with other children, sometimes kidnapped and forced into bad situations."
They were both contacted by the media about this, she claimed he had been hacked, he claimed that these were only fantasies, and would never act on these urges... She later married him.
Amiee Chancellor is a despicable human being who can only be viewed positively if she is compared to the people she chooses to surround herself with.
- sillysaurusx 6y agoI'm confused. Your comment talks about her father and her fiance. What did she do? "Amiee Chancellor is a despicable human being" is pretty heavy, but the only thing related to her in your comment is that "she forged documents in order to hire him as her election agent." Not cool, but is there more here?
- i_haz_rabies 6y ago"photos on her phone" is pretty damning.
- sillysaurusx 6y agoOh wow, I completely missed that. Sorry! Regardless, during the trial photos of Aimee with the victim were discovered on Amiee's phone. Thanks for pointing that out. Yes of course, that's completely different. Does anyone know where to find more info about this? It's such a strange situation. EDIT: There are some details here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/coventry-captive-girl-attic-torture-den-david-challenor-coventry-a8502991.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/coventry-captive... though nothing about Aimee being in the photos. I'm curious how she wasn't implicated in that case. How weird...
- jowsie 6y agoWhile the site itself is pretty terrible, kiwifarms has a well written up history with evidence to back it up.
- notahacker 6y agoI'm sceptical about that detail because the UK is pretty zealous at paying attention to and prosecuting women believed to have been actively supporting the sex offences and there dont appear to have been any charges, or even any insinuations from the press.
- danellis 6y agoWhat were the photos, though? People are saying photos of her with the victim, but were they pictures that implied she knew about the abuse?
- esja 6y agoIs lying to protect pedophiles not despicable?
- Barrin92 6y agoHire her father after the allegations were known (to her and the public) as an election agent which put him into contact with vulnerable people[1], which is arguably both very reckless and borderline crony.

- brabel 6y agoI don't know anything about the case that's not covered in this article... but I have the impression she's being judged by what her father did, which I find despicable. She deserves to be treated independently of that as I am sure it was not easy to live her whole life in the shadow of what happened. Though I have no idea, I suppose her father couldn't get a job (I suppose he has paid his 22 years in jail now) so she might have felt like she had to step in to help?? I don't find that a huge problem, though if she did indeed forge documents , then of course she should be held accountable. EDIT: I am sorry, I hadn't read the details of the case, so I assumed the crime had happened 22 years ago (as the father was free to work, I assumed he had paid his time)... but it seems he was on bail (!!!) from the crime, which happened in 2016!!! How does one get bail after such a crime?! I withdraw my comment above, this story is far too horrible and I don't want to be on the wrong side.
- SamBam 6y agoAs far as I understand, he is currently in jail. I think bail before conviction is fine if the person is not a flight-risk. (Innocence before being proven guilty, etc.) Far too many stories of people who are denied or unable to post bail (usually people without power or means) and get stuck in jail for months before ever seeing trial.
- tyho 6y agoShe lied to protect a known pedophile. I have limited myself to facts which have been proven in court. As a UK citizen, I am unable to make any statement which I cannot prove, less I be sued for libel. However I'll point out again that she lived in the house, the child was there for days, and there were photos of Amiee and the ten year old victim found by the police on Amiee's phone. There are plenty more facts available about this case which might cause you to question the decision making process of the CPS. EDIT: I would link sources but the only sites which have properly covered this story are highly transphobic so I will refrain.
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoI think your edit shows the kind of bind we are in as a society. Transphobia is not worse than protecting pedophiles and torturers of children.
- dekhn 6y agoI'm confused. Why did reddit hire this person?
- Mountain_Skies 6y agoSome have hypothesized that Reddit was trying to increase their diversity numbers but it seems more likely that she's friends with someone or has a group of friends at Reddit and that's how she made it though whatever hiring process they have. Reddit doesn't strike me as the type of place that's very rigorous when it comes to process so knowing the right people might have been enough. Of course this is all conjecture.
- dekhn 6y agoI mean, at some point, the folks who do background checks during hiring would have flagged this as a risk, and I can't see the company proceeding to the offer stage once they were aware. I mean this purely from a corporate risk-avoidance perspective. But, I guess reddit might not adhere to this approach.
- dekhn 6y agoIndeed, confirmed. reddit did not background check this person when hiring them.
- esja 6y agoAimee was already a moderator on quite a few subs. I believe the husband (or perhaps the other boyfriend) is also.
- casefields 6y agoA trans activist is a fantastic hire to brag about how diverse we are! Yes I'm being cynical but why else hire someone with such a history for a social media company?
- dekhn 6y agoMy question was answered by the CEO of reddit (well, I didn't ask him, but he answered it) in a post just 15 minutes ago: "As of today, the employee in question is no longer employed by Reddit. We built a relationship with her first as a mod and then through her contractor work on RPAN. We did not adequately vet her background before formally hiring he" It's exactly as I thought. They thought they had a good employee and failed to vet with due diligence. But, in their response, they absolutely failed to convince anybody: by banning a bunch of people for posting things that are in mainstream external media. Even if it doxxes your employee, once it's in the mainstream, you can't control it.
- tomp 6y ago> during the trial photos of Aimee with the victim were discovered > he claimed that these were only fantasies This are some pretty serious accusations, and the situation is much more fucked up if true (i.e. she shouldn't just be fired, more likely jailed). Do you have any sources to back them up?
