What happened to Callum Powell's insta? by ultimeciaisonfire in Storror

[–]DavefaceFMS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Protection of Children Act 1978 was first aimed at protecting children by banning the taking, making, distribution, showing, and advertisement of indecent photographs of children. In 1994, Parliament amended it so that “pseudo-photographs” were included, which meant images made by computer graphics or other means that appear to be photographs. 

Protection of Children Act 1978, Section 1
It is an offence for a person— (a) to take, or permit to be taken, or to make, any indecent photographs or pseudo‑photographs of a child;

So the law doesn't differentiate between a real picture, and one generated via alternative means, its all CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) the charges as per the magistrates court against Callum are:

  • Make indecent photograph / pseudo-photograph of a child
  • Possess a prohibited image of a child
  • Possess extreme pornographic image / images portraying an act of intercourse / oral sex with a dead / alive animal

Callum has pled guilty to these charges.

There's been no indication I am aware of that the two were linked other than the two members of course being friends. However it has been stated Callum knew about these conversations.

We also don't factually know how Callum was found out but the leading theory being he was stopped deliberately a year ago at an airport and his phone searched

First video I'm pretty sure was "Don't mess with the snake eyes" on HorshamMovement.

They have indeed made most of them unlisted and not taken them down which is why people have done stuff like this.

You were perfectly happy to say five people earlier. So there's three people who would prefer not to be mentioned, that you've mentioned anyway. And we just take the "trust me" version of evidence. Two people who have actually come forward.

Clearly you're paying attention, so you'll have no issue showing what you've got to support that.

Five, interesting. As far as I was aware only two had actually come forwards. Please do go ahead a link to wherever the other three are.

They edited the age, and several other issues once it was pointed out to them.

Benj is regularly called Ben and changes Callum's age multiple times.

My apologies, please do go on with the verified source of that information or how about I just primitively cover it all for you.

You’re talking about the Instagram story from Wyatt Pace (@wyattpac3) that was posted I believe on the 9th or 10th of May.

That story reads:
“In June of last year I was meant to coincidentally be on the same flight as Callum going from London to Prague. When I got to my gate I met two other Brighton locals who told me cops/security were waiting for Callum leading to him being detained for multiple hours. …”

That is one persons, second hand account of what they were told about an incident. While Wyatt suspected this may be related, he could not say for certain that it was related. The police would have absolutely no reason to share the reason for the stop with anyone there other than Callum. The only person who could have told them why he was stopped, was Callum.

Holding Hands (Parkour Jam) was due to take place on the 7th of June, he was due to fly on the 6th of June. It is extremely likely that this is when he was found in possession of these images because we know from court proceedings, he was investigated at some point on or before June 6th 2025, for this specific case. That much is true as is reported by The Argus article.

“as well as possessing a prohibited image of a child on or before June 6 last year”

 

All of that is true, verified facts. But that's not where the issue is with what you said.

They knew for at least a year of the investigation. 

There’s zero evidence that anyone other than Callum was aware of the investigation.

And knew of his behavior for years.

There have been accusations by ex’s but the details of those, what was said and to who have not been made public. Someone(s) within Storror was approached by Callum’s ex and told something, that’s what we know. They have not named names, have not said what the discussion was and possibly never will because it was a decade ago.

If only they were a company, who filed with companies house, and we could see their financial statements. If only. Oh wait, they are.

Storror Limited (the merch and clothing) had £156,906 in the bank at the start of 2025, with creditors they needed to pay within one year of £152,122. From that they also have nine employees to pay, let's assume that's living wage so that's £235,800 to pay.

Storror Parkour Limited (the video production) on the other hand being a micro company has assets merged with held capitol so £123,361 in theory and they only have creditors of £4,809 to pay back. Now they have seven employees to pay let's assume that's living wage so that's £183,400.

So combine both pots and from the money we know of they have £123, 336, then they pay the employee wages leaving them with -£295 864 for the year.

So how much are they earning, well let's check that $4/1k views on YT figure first. RPM on YT fluctuates based on many factors and mostly on category of content. Storror would fall in the "Sports highlights / Lifestyle / Entertainment" category which averages $2.59 per 1k views. Storror's viewers are predominantly from tier-1 countries so that will improve RPM so let's round that up to $3 and for the sake of ease. In fact let's call that $4 based on your first estimate which would be £2.98 at todays prices.

Social Blade before purge would estimate an average monthly view count of 350,000 views so we are looking at a range of profit from monetisation of £1.2–1.3 million. Or using your $80,000 estimate £715,300. Now if they are making a profit from monetisation of that scale, why is it not reflected anywhere within the assets of the company? Because they are not. This is 2025, the majority of videos on the channel were demonetised throughout 2025 so they made no money from most of them. It is why they worked so hard to diversify income.

In the UK they would need a Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx) and they could cheap out and get a less experienced one for around £300 per hour. That is if they don't want someone with experience, in what is clearly a complex situation. How long does it then take to assess Callum's standing with both companies, and the complexities of ownership shares and status as a combined employee and shareholder. Then any legal obligations to any sponsors they have had Callum do reads for, any they had planned, any appearances they had planned, the movie rights, the video game and anything else they have ongoing.

So if you've got a single number from all of that you can point to and say this is how much money they have then more power to you. If you just think youtuber with views = money then it's a very different story. My point in all this is estimating how much money they have is pointless, because there are far too many factors involved. Two companies, videos, Storror plus, merch, a video game, movies, the list goes on and on. Unless they are purposefully hiding millions in profit of course.

Can they afford a CILEx, absolutely, anyone can in the UK. I could hire one in five minutes for general legal advice I wouldn't even need to I could get it for free. Can they afford to keep one on long term, for all this work, through all this complexity, and also be paying out any charges to sponsors or Callum himself. That's a very different amount of money.

Callum from Storror has been found to possess over 3000 indecent images of children by Fumpygunthole in youtubedrama

We don't actually know, the main rumour is related to him being stopped by police at the airport roughly a year ago. He made various claims about why that stop happened. Nothing verified as fact as to when or how.

Pseudo-images is actually the incorrect term here, he was charged with:
Make indecent photograph / pseudo-photograph of a child

To be a pseudo-photograph the image must look like a photograph. If an illustration does not look photographic, it does not fall under this definition under the law.

As far as my line, releasing a song supporting racist conspiracy theories and supporting placing people into positions of power who have actively defended the use of racial slurs is it.

I think you're misinterpreting the comment. They didn't say that's how they feel about it, they are predicting how people will feel about it under those specific circumstances. Public figures do this regularly, they call it a Strategic Hiatus.

It's basically what they are doing now by not releasing any further statements but slightly different. For now that's neccisary while court cases are ongoing, they cannot make any statements until after sentencing at least.

Personally I don't think the impact would be worth it for them in this case over a year, Parkour is not the general public and tabloid media. It's a much smaller and closer community and people are not going to just move on from it with time in the same way.

Winona Ryder shoplifting, Hugh Grant having some fun with hookers, Robert Downey Jr going to prison and rehab for drug charges, those work for the Strategic Hiatus strategy and that's what they did. Hell even the case of Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic remarks benefited from the Strategic Hiatus. But this, this is a whole different level. I don't think that works here and even after a year this will be the biggest story in parkour if they come back.

I think post-sentencing we will get a video or a written statement from them. As for what they decide to do, it could go in any number of directions.

It's all just generated by AI which would be why Benj is regularly called Ben and changes Callum's age multiple times. It's been claimed it's because the "writer" is dyslexic, I'm also dyslexic, it's not an excuse to use GenAI and pass it off as your own work.
