I think people are forgetting something.
Marc Latham made a video of him handing in the evidence and they will have named their sources etc.
IF these were a fabrication then those who are handing in the evidence are in serious trouble for a) wasting police time and b) slandering/falsely accusing etc.
I hardly think the exJW's that have reported this to the authorities are stupid enough to create fakes and get busted for it. The police will want to know how the emails (not chat so text speak is less prevalent in emails) were obtained and I'm sure they will be told by those that supplied them to the police.
In short, its highly unlikely these can be fake without serious risk to the ones submitting the evidence or the ones who obtained it.
Another point I can't wrap my head around. If someone accused me of this and went to the trouble of handing it to the police and recording it I'd be outraged because it is not true but Lloyds reaction seems very....well....off or strange in that "it's fake but let's move on".
Lloyd's first video and first live stream are going to receive a whole load of comments.
