The patron of a defunct LGBT charity, which encouraged children to question the gender binary, has been charged with multiple counts of child sex abuse. The Telegraph has more.
Stephen Ireland, 40, is facing a total of 37 charges, including rape of a child under 13, six counts of making indecent photographs of children and two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
For 15 of the alleged offences, the founder of Pride in Surrey was jointly charged alongside David Sutton, 26.
Ireland was listed as a director for Pride in Surrey until June of this year, while Sutton was a former volunteer for the charity, according to Mail Online.
Sutton, who, like Ireland, is from Addlestone, Surrey, was also charged with seven further offences, including three counts of making indecent photographs of children.
The multiple offences, which the pair were formally charged with at Staines Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, date from August 2022 to last month.
They were both remanded in custody to appear at Guildford Crown Court on September 12.
One of Ireland’s social media accounts describes him as a patron of charity Educate and Celebrate, which claimed to equip and empower “school communities to tackle and reduce homophobia, biphobia and transphobia”.
The charity ran Pride workshops for primary and secondary school pupils, which included “How to break the binary and be gender inclusive”, according to its former website.
However, the organisation, which shut down earlier this year, came under fire for a number of controversies before its closure.
In 2022 trans woman Jordan Gray, a patron of the charity, prompted nearly 1,500 Ofcom complaints when the performer stripped-off during a live Channel 4 show before appearing to play a piano with their penis.
The comedian had previously described going into schools to “talk about gender” on behalf of Educate and Celebrate, adding that “toddlers kind of get it straight away”.
However, the defunct charity removed the performer as a patron following the skit and went on to say in a statement that Gray had “never gone into schools” on its behalf nor had been asked to carry out work for the organisation.
Dr Elly Barnes, the charity’s founder, had previously advised teachers that it is permissible not to tell parents if a pupil declares themselves to be transgender and also said that terms such as “boys”, “girls”, “son” and “mother” should be replaced with the gender-neutral words “pupils”, “students”, “child” and “parent”.
Last year, Educate & Celebrate was asked to remove references to Ofsted on its website following a demand to do so from the school inspectorate.
The charity had been listed as an Ofsted-recognised “best practice” programme on multiple primary school websites.
However, a spokesperson for the watchdog confirmed it did not not endorse any resource providers.

I assume everything from ‘government sources’ is lies.
Interesting to see where this sits in the sequence of C-19 war gaming. If before then the war gaming wasn’t it was real live exercise as the virus was already out.
On the other hand if the war gaming took place before the release, then that is quite sinister. It suggests that the release was deliberate once they had a handle on what they would do next.
So, in that case I picked up the virus in London around December 17, 2019. I went down with the symptoms on or around the 20th, as did my Dad. My Mum had them mildly on December 26. My GP surgery’s staff were all ill around New Year (I attended an appointment there on December 19th.) They were ‘inundated with people calling in about a mysterious cough and flu symptom virus over that period, according to the practice’s nurse. We all just treated it as atypical weird Christmas virus.
My wife also had symptoms which met the description of COVID, persistent cough and extreme fatigue, back in January 2020. I have never seen anyone with them since, only a lot of positive PCR tests and re-branded colds and flus.
Persistent cough means pneumonia. It’s perfectly possibe to get that from other viruses as well. Extreme fatigue or rather, a serious reduction of the ability to perform physical tasks, is a side effect of the immune system having to put a serious amount of effort into fighting some pathogen. Also not COVID specific.
It is all bullshit it goes back way earlier. Let those who have wisdom perceive it. In 2018 there was quite a severe flu outbreak. In 2019 there was somthing called ‘mysterious vaping illness’. If you look at a map of the outbreak of vaping illness most if it was centred around Fort Detrick. And then you had the armed forces games in Wuhan. We weren’t all born under a Christmas Tree. The first step is to acknowledge just how sinister this agenda is.
Looking for something to watch last evening I came across “Flu that killed 50 million” on PBS America, channel 174. It was made in 2018 100 years on from Spanish flu outbreak. Definately worth an hours watch, they repeat a lot. Patient Zero was actually an 18 year old conscript from Kentucky who worked on a bird farm. With troop ship movements 40 days later it had hit France and already 20,000 dead from 20 million infected. The reason it became known as Spanish flu was because the news “blackout” did not affect Spain who were neutral and whose king died of the flu. The foreign correspondents in Spain termed it Spanish flu not knowing anything about its origins. Fast forward to 2018 and it was interesting to see the confidence of how we could tackle a modern day pandemic using all the knowledge, medical interventions and the 2014 Pandemic Preparedness Plan!
There is another reason why these three researchers could not have been the first three victims. They were all presumably of working age – in fact one is stated to be the bat lady’s “star pupil”. And they were all hospitalised?!
What percentage of covid sufferers required hospital treatment? Was it as much as 1%? And if elderly people are excluded (since these three were not elderly)?
What is the chance of the first three victims all requiring hospital treatment?
It’s nonsense, isn’t it?
