This is what Melissa Frank had to say about that message.
Gareth Edwards phoned me up and invited me to have a look
around the basement celler underneath his shop.
He said we could go there
’’tonight.’’
I declined Gareth Edward’s offer, but this is what he said.
When I phoned Simon Griffiths and invited him to give his point of view,
he told me that he hoped someone would get to me very soon.
This is what Mr Simon Griffiths said.
It was not only Simon Griffiths that tried to intimidate me.
The lady who picked up his phone told me that I was messing with the wrong people
and that I needed to watch my back.
’’Hmm' 0.8 miles away.’’
Simon Griffiths and other people associated with him have sent me many messages.
I asked you to fuck off!
I don’t want to speak to depraved old men’ or your wife’ about anything.
You even sent me a letter saying ’’you know I knew nothing you speak of.’’
Why do you keep on dragging innocent people into your life?
Yeah’ that’s right’ to try and cover up the terrible actions you and your mate did.
I guess that’s why you have spent time in orphanages out of the UK too’
SICK
It’s a lie, I have never visited any orphanage, anywhere.
Fu you sick disgusting man.
How’s your mate Bellett?
You and him are very similar I’m told.
Stay away from you dirty old man.
Again its another lie.
Simon Griffiths did not leave it there though, he went on to fabricate
stories about me being involved in paedophilia.
The next page shows various comments and screenshots that he posted.
There have been many more incidents.
In one incident, pictures were posted that were said to be me.
The pictures were of Paul Holman (deceased), his son,
and my son Andrew.
Andrew was attacked and beaten up in Derby, he was left
with a broken leg.
A chap from Scotland told me he was threatened by two women
who phoned him up.
He said they were playing him noises of children being abused
as it happened.
Among the comments that were left by fake identities, one warned me that
if I didn’t back off, details of where I was and other details would
be released about me and my family.
Details were released that included old pictures of me and my wife Christine,
the address, and a picture of where we were staying.
On the bottom of one of the pictures of me,
the words
’’that’s how I remember him’’
were written.
Fabricated stories about me being a paedophile were circulated at the same time.
Another man who helped us, emailed me and told me he could not
help us anymore.
He said that a man who he had never seen before knocked on his door
and asked if his children would like to go to summer camp.
He told me he had asked other parents at his children’s school and nobody knew who the man was.
The police forced me into what they referred to as a voluntary interview.
Before that, they locked me in the back of a police car outside my house
for everyone to see.
They said I was harassing my next-door neighbor.
On another occasion, two policemen came to my house and asked if they could come inside to talk to me.
Once inside the house, they said
’’We are here to give you a strong warning Mr. Tait’’,
and
they said it over and over again.
The police officers deny saying it and the incident was recorded as a
lady requesting the following
’’Just wished for officers to attend to Tait’s address,
and politely ask him not to text her,’’
after I had sent her a single
text message.
The police described the text message as
’’not harrassing or distressing.’’
The police report
shows two officers were dispatched straight away to my house, at 10:30 pm on a Friday evening.
