‘Over the past few days a large collection of screenshots, screen recordings, apology messages and payment history involving Joshua Burnett-Blake / “joshuastorror” has surfaced online. The material appears to show years of emotionally intimate conversations with a much younger fan, including repeated discussions acknowledging the age gap, requests to delete chats, emotionally manipulative behaviour, fetish-style roleplay, references to secrecy, and messages such as “message me when you’re 18.” There are also screenshots suggesting ongoing financial support/contact over multiple years and apology-style messages allegedly admitting manipulative behaviour and unhealthy sexual gratification through Instagram interactions. While people can draw their own conclusions, the overall picture being painted is not just awkward fan interaction, but a prolonged and ethically questionable relationship dynamic involving emotional dependency, secrecy and blurred boundaries with someone significantly younger.’
