Press statement released by Simon Grindrod
‘Following news today that the slanderous SA Male Prostitute website has been shut down under the pretext that some form of legal deal has been made between my lawyers and the anonymous blogger, I wish to confirm the following,’ says Mr Simon Grindrod.
My lawyers have entered into no form of agreement with the anonymous blogger;
I will not withdraw my criminal case of Crimen Injuria against the offender;
Once SAPS have apprehended this individual, I will urgently institute a civil action for defamation and damages in the High Court;
I will not stop until my good name and reputation are restored and this individual faces the legal consequences of his lies and slander;
I wish to thank the blogging community for their messages of support and assistance in tracking the individual responsible for this fabricated website;
I am determined that this individual should be challenged once and for all, to prevent him creating further hurt and distress to others in the future.
‘As in most cases, the irresponsible actions of one individual should never be allowed to negatively impact on the image and perceptions of a particular community as a whole,’ Grindrod says.

Magnum PI - don't believe it all. There was no LAWYER deal!
The lawyers did not know who he was. Wordpress did not tell them. One because they did not know and two because due process in terms of the law is just not that fast.
What Wordpress would have done is first cut him from the tagging system and therefore from a lot of internet search engines and then warned him - perhaps based on warnings they received themselves. California courts hold that they cannot be held responsible for content.
I think somebody close to Skye ratted or threatened to rat on him. People like this can seldom do this stuff without boasting to somebody.
Then why did he apoligise to the Gay community, GLA and Crime Expo SA. Well its because several of them know him very well and in addition certainly know where to find him. That makes somebody else guilty too - enen if only morally.
Somebody in some high place is protecting this guys arse (excuse the pun)- because of a favour some where sometime? Only thing I don't know if it was to do with sex, drugs, rock and roll or perhaps as evidence suggests something a little more sinister.
