Could it be connected to this 'story'? I wonder?

The tweeter claims she was engaged to the stepson, (her name isn't hard to find, once you locate her blog) but aside from that discrepancy, it would be very interesting to know more about the background to this tale of money being offered etc.

sorry - please ignore my post above (got completely the wrong end of the stick). I now realise the tweet is referring to Tia Sharpe's 'grandad', sorry.

This is what is causing the confusion, I think.

@alia_kel_aderon I do too. He was accused of taking Madeleine McCann.

@alia_kel_aderon and my fiance's mum had her personal naked photos splashed on the cover of NOTW. Had no bearing on the crime, whatsoever.

@alia_kel_aderon It didn't affect me, but it changed my fiance's family dynamic. They became really protective and wary of others.

@alia_kel_aderon I don't know, all he told me was the amount they offered. Obviously he didn't take it.

@alia_kel_aderon It affected them hugely, still does in some ways. My fiance was offered £170,000 to say that his stepdad is a paedophile.

@alia_kel_aderon Yep. Classy of the News Of The World. They offered even more to my fiance's mum for the same reason.

It was a tweet referring to Robert Murat.......someone from NOTW tried to bribe someone to say he was a pedophile.

...from what I can make out, the tweeter's ex fiancee was offered a bribe by a journo to say his stepdad was a pedophile and took Madeleine McCann or something along those lines anyway. Stepdad's wife had naked photos of herself printed in the NOTW. Not sure how this relates to RM though (does he even have a stepson?).

(edited - yes, it seems he does).

David.

Indeed. And referred to as 'Dave' in tweeter's blog (tweeter being based in Norfolk).

I think this is an attention seeker.

AnnaEsse wrote:I think this is an attention seeker.

agreed.

True...but not so far fetched though ....NOTW are used to bribing.

I don't disbelieve the story, but the fact that the tweeter wants to refer to it on Twitter feels attention seeking to me. She's outraged about the press destroying people's lives by disclosing details about them without their consent (photos etc) so what's she doing blabbering about it all herself on Twitter?
