@fmf saidThe same goes to all perpetrators of abuse.
label him a predator and make snide comparisons to his convicted brother.
The real victim here is the child P. Schofield's brother sexually abused. Let's hope that everyone who knew P. Schofield's brother did everything they possibly could to intervene and stop that abuse.
In regards to Philip Schofield, I would identify his wife and family as the main victims, who I'm sure have gone through a very difficult period.

Well there you go.
Tied yourself in knots and sunk your own boat.
Not so.
If you understand my stance you would not make this cop-out claim.
If you are tired of the topic, just say so.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidNothing clumsy about it.
Agreed. The OP attempts to clumsily link the two. (Based only on perhaps and maybe).
Both brothers out of the same behavioural gene pool.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidHere it is again: The subordinate could be predatory too. But the taboo lies with the person who has position or power.

Tied yourself in knots and sunk your own boat.
No knots. No sunk boat.

The person in power should reject the advance, move him or herself to a different office if necessary where the power relationship no longer exists, or resign and then have a relationship.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidA proper and decent office or workplace has HR rules that reflect the ethical stance I have been putting forward.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidTaboo is taboo.
Emotions don't always comply with HR rules. (The reason why %15 of relationships begin in the workplace).

Relationships in the workplace where there is no power dynamic don't seem to me to be an ethical problem.

Apologies if I have.
