Jon, Toomy never bothered with the rape gangs until they were public news thanks to the work of people that actually cared about it and not just making some money out of it, his one "contribution" to "raising awareness" was to very nearly get at least one of a linked set of very complex trials thrown out due to his filming in restricted areas with the high potential of showing the faces of the jury and the victims.
He was warned about it, but continued to do it. which either shows a level of dedication to the cause of getting the trial abandoned, to getting some headlines for himself, or that he failed to understand stuff 16 year old YTS lads were expected to know back in the days of the local papers covering court cases.
It came very close to at best a complete retrial, which would have cost the country a fortune, and more importantly would have required the victims to give evidence again of which there is no certainty they would have been able to, and potentially the entire case (or multiple cases) being completely abandoned as too tainted to continue with.
He's not a hero, he's a grifter, a convicted fraudster, a convicted immigration offender and basically someone who'll do anything (including forcing a mistrial on a major rape case) to rile up the racists and earn some more dosh.
