As regular readers of this blog will know I’m a Bible believing Christian and as such I try to empathize with people even if they hate my very existence.
Even if they are the most abhorrent child rapist that I have exposed in this blog over the near 10 years.
Even if they or they have paid someone to try and do something that could cause my family or I physical or mental harm.
Even if they are the most scumbag lowlife threatening women with knives cunts like Neil Lennon
I try to walk a mile in their shoes.
Just like the admonition to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes means before judging someone, you must understand his experiences, challenges, thought processes, etc.
The full idiom is: Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
Well, this was brought into sharp focus with the ongoing Ryan Giggs court case.
I was reading an article that was titled
Why Can Childhood Sexual Abuse Lead to Promiscuity?
The gist of it was that sexual promiscuity can result from childhood sexual abuse.
A review of the research on childhood sexual abuse (from the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, or AAETS) confirms that a large number of survivors engage in promiscuous behaviours, even those who turn away close relationships.
Some of the reasons childhood sexual abuse can lead to promiscuity are as follows.
Childhood sexual abuse is known to result in a myriad of symptoms including depression, sleep disturbances, poor self-esteem, guilt, shame, dissociative disorders, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
Often, these symptoms exist under the umbrella of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Sexual Abuse Survivors Often Equate Promiscuity with Self-Worth
Even though their trauma had ended, and they remain silent about the sexual abuse. Even after several years after it ended, and they still maintained contact with my abuser.
The abuse they have suffered had been so normalized that they stuff it away and attempt to minimize it.
In fact, their abuse may have incorrectly convinced them, that they have to be sexually desirable to have any self-worth.
Promiscuity in Sexual Abuse Survivors Masks Other PTSD Symptoms
Sex becomes an escape on many levels.
It acts as a dopamine-, serotonin-, endorphin-loaded experience.
They don’t have to be emotionally attached.
They can have the satisfaction of being found attractive, wanted, and worthwhile, while still escaping any controlling relationship or the possibility of abandonment.
As a final defence, Their reckless encounters could trigger dissociation, which remains their ultimate escape for many years.
Their actual symptoms of sexual abuse are still there in all their untreated glory.
They eventually realize that they only fell better for short moments at a time.
People began to label them and look down on them.
Their escape begins to create more wounds than they can hide.
They become even more withdrawn and they need help.
Will read the following news articles about Celtic legend Neil Francis Lennon and see if you can see a pattern.

Was she worth it then, Neil? YES ..SHE WAS; Lennon’s casualty girl revealed by Record.
Byline: KEITH McLEOD
BATTERED Celtic star Neil Lennon has been seeing his mystery beauty for six weeks.
Family friends last night claimed pretty student Maria Vastano, 20, and the pounds 6million midfielder are an item.
She was with the footballer when he had head wounds stitched at Glasgow’s Western Infirmary last Wednesday.
Lennon showed off his injuries for the first time when he watched his former club Leicester last weekend.
It was thought the Northern Ireland star was having a Christmas fling – and the Record asked Lennon was the girl worth it?
But a pal said: “The impression her circle of friends has is that Maria has been seeing Neil for about six weeks.”
Maria comes from a wealthy Aviemore family and has been a regular at some of Glasgow’s top nightspots since starting at Strathclyde University.
The friend added: “She is a very private person. She does not go chasing footballers or guys with money. She doesn’t need to.
“The impression she gives us is that if anyone has done the chasing it has been Neil.”
Her parents Fernando and Joan own a hotel and restaurant in the High Range complex and her affair with Lennon has been the talk of Aviemore.
The second year psychology student has worked at the classy Malmaison hotel and top restaurants in Glasgow. She lives in a city centre flat.
She is the youngest of four children and it is understood her family had a sizeable lottery win a few years ago. One friend said: “She is stunning. I can’t imagine what she’d see in Neil, but I’m not surprised he fancies her.”
Another family friend said: “Maria is obviously enjoying her life in Glasgow. She loves the night life – she is known as the Danni Behr of Aviemore.”
Last night Maria’s mum Joan said: “We have no comment. Maria has a lot on and does not want to comment either.”

THE woman who is expecting Neil Lennon’s baby told last night of their tempestuous five-year love affair.
Jeniffer Johnson said the Celtic captain told her they had a future together and wanted to name their unborn daughter after his mum.
The singer, whose baby is due in five weeks, revealed she dumped Lennon three months ago over his relationship with his other girlfriend Irene McCloy. Lennon and Irene had a son in December.

I’VE HARDLY SLEPT FOR DAYS WITH THE WORRY
EXCLUSIVE: DAY 2 OF AMAZING REVELATIONS BY LENNON’S PREGNANT EX-GIRLFRIEND Jeniffer’s health fear over her baby Exclusive
By Cara Page
CELTIC captain Neil Lennon’s unborn baby faces a life threatening infection.
Ex-girlfriend Jeniffer Johnson – who is expecting the player’s daughter in five weeks – has been told she has Group B streptococcus.
It is a bacterium that can be passed from a pregnant woman to her baby during labour.
The condition affects about 700 babies each year in the UK. Approximately 75 die and 40 are left with long-term problems.
Jeniffer, 30, revealed her baby health heartache last night.
She learned she had the bug after dumping Lennon 11 weeks ago over his relationship with his other girlfriend Irene McCloy.
Jeniffer, of Eaglesham, Renfrewshire, broke down in tears as she said: “My baby is facing a life-threatening birth. When Neil found out he said nothing.”
To prevent the infection being passed on, mothers who have it are given antibiotics intravenously from the beginning of labour.
But even with the best medical care about 10 per cent of babies treated will die – usually from blood poisoning, pneumonia or meningitis.
Jeniffer added: “Doctors told me it’s worse if the baby is premature and if your waters break before you get to hospital”
“They are going to try and treat me with antibiotics while I’min labour and if I don’t get to hospital on time they will give the baby antibiotics through a tube in her nose.
“I’ve just been worried sick and I’m panicking that because I’m so stressed I’ll be premature.
“I’m trying to keep calm but I’ve hardly slept or eaten for days with all of this.”
Jeniffer has denied claims from Lennon’s camp that she was a gold digger and only had a casual fling with the midfielder.
She claims Lennon bombarded her with more than 400 mobile phone texts over a nine-month period.
The texts urged her not to worry about the future and begged her to keep her pregnancy and the baby secret.
Lennon flattered Jeniffer in a text apparently sent from his phone in August while his other girlfriend Irene was five months pregnant. He said: “You are the sunshine of my life that’s why you’ll always be around.”
When he discovered Jeniffer was pregnant in September last year he texted: “I will look after it financially make sure you have eveything you need … but you must protect me totally… not one person must know I’m the father … deal.”
And when he bizarrely asked her for a urine sample to prove she was pregnant, he told her: “I need the proof for medical insurance from the club … our doctor knows your pregnant and needs the sample for our records and private care.
Jennifer spoke out after Lennon’s camp accused of her of trying to bleed him for cash.
A text sent in September said: “Please let me help you financially jen. I know you may not agree with it but it will take pressure off you.”
She claimed he told her to get schedules for new houses and texted in October: “But I’d like you to have the house … was thinkin of getting it sorted then when its paid off will split it with you.”
But their relationship became more strained as the due date of his other pregnant lover Irene McCloy drew closer.
Jeniffer claimed that Lennon denied he was in a relationship with Irene and called her his “short-term nightmare”.
A text apparently sent on December 4 – days before his son Gallagher was born – said: “jen stop flyin off the handle will you … I will come up tomorrow and have a nice cuddle and give you a wee rub.”
Another text sent on December 11 said: “Jen I think the world of you.”
Hours after Gallagher was born on December 19, he texted Jennifer: “Had a wee boy this morning. He is fine and dandy … just wanted to let you know personally x.”
The following day, he denied reports that he was to marry Irene telling Jeniffer in a text: “Have not spoken to any paper Jen I dont know what it says but believe me amnot getting married.”
Days after his son Gallagher was born he begged Jeniffer to see him again. A text dated December 22 said: “Come on jen let me pop up Xmas day gotta nice surprise for you.”
Jeniffer denied claims she demanded a £250,000 house and said Lennon gave her a cheque on Christmas Eve for a house deposit.
Jeniffer said: “He gave me a cheque for £18,000. I didn’t like the way it made me feel. He said he wasn’t paying me off but it somehow made my baby feel dirty.”
Texts sent in January told her not to worry about their future and denied reports he was to marry.
A text sent on January 18 said: “What has the media got to do with us…Am not getting married jen for the last time … ok you tell me what you see in the future for us … cos thats whats hurt in you and ive told you not to worry about the future.”
He also discussed names for their daughter in a text sent on January 15:
“There are some nice celtic names… Caoimhe pronounced Keva.”
Jeniffer said the texts turned nasty after she ended the relationship, claiming Lennon had continually lied about Irene.
Jeniffer added: “At first he pleaded with me not to finish it. He said, ‘Please let me come up I think about you every day.’
“For three days he came and banged on my door and phoned and texted me every minute but I was determined. I couldn’t take any more of his lies.”
Jeniffer said: “He said no one would believe me. I’m just glad that my phone holds hundreds of texts and I can prove what I’m saying.
“He can say what he wants about me. He warned me not to tell his secret and this is his revenge.

He’s regular visitor and helps Fiona with money; EXCLUSIVE LENNON AND THE BLONDE STUDENT.
Byline: By THOMAS SMITH
SOCCER star Neil Lennon has struck up a close friendship with a stunning old flame, the Sunday Mirror can reveal.
Celtic captain Lennon, 35, is helping fund psychology student Fiona Brown through a university degree.
Lennon has known Fiona, 24, for six years. The midfielder dated her after meeting her in a Lanarkshire bar.
Helped by his generosity, Fiona has recently moved into a luxury flat and drives a £13,000 convertible car.
And Lennon is a regular visitor to the £300,000 property in Glasgow’s Merchant City.
He sometimes calls in on his way home from training at Parkhead a short drive away.
On occasions, he drops in during the evening before returning to the home that he shares with long-term partner Irene McCloy, 31.
Former pub manager Irene gave birth to Lennon’s son Gallagher in December 2005.
She bravely stood by him in April last year when the Sunday Mirror revealed he had been two-timing her with singer Jeniffer Jonsen.
Jeniffer, 30, fell pregnant to Lennon at the same time Irene was pregnant.
Jeniffer gave birth to Lennon’s love-child daughter in June last year.
Lennon, who earns £30,000 a week, met Fiona shortly after he moved to Glasgow in 2000 when he was single.
She was working in a pub in Uddingston, where her parents live.
Fiona and Lennon swapped phone numbers and dated for a while, with big-hearted Lennon showering her with gifts.
Fiona, who grew up in a family of Celtic fanatics, was flattered by his interest.
They have stayed in touch over the years as friends and she gave him moral support through the off-field crisis which engulfed him last year.
Last August she moved out of her father John’s modest flat and into the luxury apartment. The first-floor property is a short walk from Glasgow Caledonian University, where last October she enrolled on a degree course in Psychology.
She is always dressed immaculately, wearing a range of designer outfits.
A source close to Fiona told the Sunday Mirror: “Neil has been very generous in helping her out.
“She told us he put about £15,000 into her bank last September. It’s a lot of money to a lassie like Fiona – but to a millionaire like him it is probably loose change.
“She used some of the cash to get her motor, which was brand new. And the rent has been paid for months in advance on the flat – the landlords probably can’t believe their luck!
“At the start, Fiona’s younger sister Mhairi was living there with Fiona but after a wee while Mhairi moved back in with her dad.”
FIONA bought her black Peugeot 206 convertible from a Glasgow dealership. Neighbours in her block have seen Lennon become a regular visitor in the run-up to Christmas and also since New Year.
Sometimes he visits on his day off. On other visits he pops round after training or sometimes in the evening.
After one visit, Lennon was seen giving a cheery wave to Mhari and Fiona’s pal Pamela Kelly, who were outside the flat in their car.
On some occasions neighbours have seen Lennon drive his car into the high-security building’s underground car park.
Other times he parks his gleaming £70,000 car on the street.
One of his visits was after Celtic’s 3-0 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Celtic Park on November 18th.
He arrived dressed smartly in his club suit and open-necked white shirt and stayed for an hour before heading off in the direction of the two-storey apartment he shares with Irene and Gallagher in one of the most exclusive parts of Glasgow’s West End. A source said: “Fiona is intelligent company. She is a bright kid who could have turned her hands to all sorts of careers.
“She’s really got into psychology and was thrilled to get on to the course.”
Lennon and Jeniffer fell out after his aides rubbished her as money-grabbing. He said he wanted nothing to do with her.
And he said his baby with Jeniffer had been conceived in a “moment of madness” after a one-night stand.
FURIOUS Jeniffer then hit back, revealing how she and Lennon had been seeing each other for five years. She then revealed he had sent her abusive text messages, one of which called her a “CUNT”.
Another of the texts said: “You’re a lying bitch, you have ruined my life, now am gonna do you.
“What a vicious bitch you are, I’m glad to see the back of you and you can print that.”
Lennon had previously given Jeniffer £26,000 to help with the baby and had pledged he would support her and the child.
As well as Gallagher with Irene and Orin with Jeniffer, Lennon also has a 14- year-old daughter Alisha, from a relationship with another former partner in Manchester.
He dotes on Gallagher and Alisha but has not, it is understood, yet had contact with Orin.
Following the revelations about Jeniffer, Lennon made a grovelling apology to Irene.
He said: “I’m so sorry for all the hurt I have caused. It was the most stupid thing I have ever done in my entire life.
“I have hurt a lot of people and I am so sorry for that.
“I made a stupid mistake but it is Irene and my family who are paying for it.”
Lennon added: “I am in love with Irene. She is the woman for me. I don’t want anyone else and I am still worried she will leave me. I didn’t want to hurt her and I was afraid she would leave me.”
The day Jeniffer’s pregancy was revealed, Lennon was presented with the SPL trophy at Parkhead.
Irene, in a public show of togetherness, walked onto the pitch in front of 60,000 fans as Celtic celebrated the title.
In Lennon’s autobiography, Man and Bhoy, he speaks about that moment: “Thankfully my beautiful Irene stood by me and showed incredible courage by walking on to Celtic Park that day with Gallagher in her arms.
“I was so proud to be seen with this strong and lovely woman – her courage is one of the many reasons I love her.”
THE pair met in 2003 when Irene was boss of trendy Glasgow bar The Room. Irene and Jeniffer later crossed paths at a birthday party for Alisha which both of them attended.
Jeniffer revealed: “Irene came in and when I saw her, I knew she and Neil were involved because she reminded me of me.
“Our hair and clothes were almost identical. She must have been looking at me and thinking the same.
“She dropped off a few presents and went.
“I asked Neil if that was his new girlfriend and he just shrugged his shoulders and said it was no big deal.”
In an interview last year, Lennon revealed how he kept in touch with various ex-girlfriends.
He said: “I met Irene in March 2003. Irene knew I was still in touch with Jeniffer and other ex-girlfriends, she wasn’t too happy about it but she knew there was nothing in it.”
At her flat yesterday Fiona said: “Neil and I have been friends for a long time.”
She declined to say any more. Lennon, who played yesterday in Celtic’s 1-0 home win over Hibs, was unavailable for comment.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO HIM; EXCLUSIVE: EX TELLS CELTIC CAPTAIN SHE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM Jen’s message to Lennon’s other lover.
Byline: By Cara Page
NEIL LENNON and girlfriend Irene McCloy put on a public show of togetherness at Celtic Park within hours of the revelations about his love life.
The club captain played the family man as he cradled their baby son Gallagher in front of 60,000 celebrating Celtic’s title triumph.
But his pregnant ex Jeniffer Johnson admitted she was not surprised by his show.
She said: “I fully expected it. It’s her choice but personally I would not stand there and pretend everything is OK.
“All along, Neil said she was desperate for the lifestyle and maybe that’s keeping her there.
“I don’t give a damn. He can have 10million children with her and marry her. I wouldn’t care.
“I don’t know how she can take the public humiliation of what he’s done.
“But she’s welcome to it. I finished with him 11 weeks ago and he knows that.
“He has begged me to see him and I won’t.”
It was Gallagher’s first ever public appearance. At one point, Lennon cuddled the tot in his arms as a smiling Irene looked on.
And the fans lapped it up when the young family engaged in a big hug on the Parkhead turf.
Irene hardly stopped smiling.
And the Celtic captain looked happy and very much at ease as he was presented with the SPL trophy following the 1-1 draw with Hibs.
However, unlike several teammates, Lennon did not give any immediate post-match interviews to broadcasters Setanta.
Jeniffer claims Lennon continued to text her when he went on a boys’ holiday to Marbella – after Irene fell pregnant.
She said: “He started talking about when we first met and saying it was like Beauty And The Beast.
“He was flattering me and saying he thought I was brilliant and, ‘I love your bones,’ and, ‘You’re gorgeous’.
“It was tugging at my heart strings. He texted me from the beach or if they were out. He said if Irene’s baby was his, he would support it but he gave me the impression they were not together.
“He had been very depressed when she first fell pregnant but he said his head was in a better place.
“He worked on me for two weeks while he was away and I fell for it. He said he missed me and when he came back, we got together.
“I knew Irene was a couple of months pregnant. I don’t want this to sound terrible but I didn’t feel like I owed her anything.
“I believed she was this monster that he made her out to be who had got pregnant to trap him. Now it’s apparent he’s lied as much to me as he has to her.”
When Jeniffer fell pregnant, she said they were both happy.
She said: “We were both stunned but it was a happy shock. He sat in my house and said he was happy I was having his baby because we’d been together for so long.
“But he begged me not to tell anyone. He said, ‘No one can find out. They’ll crucify me. It’ll ruin my career.’
“He said, ‘I’ll support you and the baby 100 per cent but you can’t tell anyone I’mthe baby’s dad.’
“I couldn’t even tell my friends.
“It was a good time in my life and my singing was taking off and it’s not something I would have done on purpose.
“It meant I had to cancel my tour with Simple Minds. I wasn’t allowed to tell them why I was pulling out.
“I had to go to scans myself and when they asked me the baby’s dad’s name, I had to leave it blank.”
Jeniffer said she then discovered Irene had moved in with Lennon.
She said: “I couldn’t believe it. He’d come to the launch of my album in August and spent the whole time in my dressing room.
“He had been to my 30th birthday party in September and come in with a huge bag of creams and perfume.
“He said he had to move her in to look after her but still made out that she was just living there and there was no relationship.
“He came to see me openly, it wasn’t cloak and dagger. I believed him.
“Then when she gave birth to their son, he called me three hours later and toldme he was 8lbs.
“Neil was 9lbs when he was born, and I thought I was going to have a big baby.
“I said I thought I could handle 8lbs and we had a bit of a joke about it.
“I asked how they were and he said they were fine and dandy.”
The Daily Record made strenuous efforts yesterday to allow Lennon to discuss his relationship with Jeniffer but he had not spoken to us at the time of going to press.

LENNON TAKES DNA TEST ON TOT; EXCLUSIVE Millionaire told to pay £375 a week for lovechild.
Byline: By DONNA CARTON
CELTIC captain Neil Lennon is having his wages docked by the Child Support Agency – after a DNA test proved he IS the father of a lovechild.
Love-rat Lennon, 35, is being forced to part with a small slice of his £45,000-a-week wage despite refusing to acknowledge the baby girl.
The docked money is then passed by Britain’s Child Support Agency to Scots singer Jeniffer Jonsen, mother of Irishman Lennon’s daughter Orin.
The latest development in Glasgow-based Lennon’s tangled off-field life emerged back home in Ireland last night as a close associate said: “Neil’s people here know all about this situation. The girl in Scotland took him to the CSA for not paying for the baby.
“And as a lot of people realise, the CSA don’t mess around when it comes to getting hold of someone’s wages and got quite heavy with him.” It is understood Lennon’s CSA payments for the nine-month-old child are around £375-a-week.
Earlier this year he took a DNA test in Glasgow which confirmed he was the baby’s father.
His agent Martin Reilly had previously claimed the child might not be Lennon’s. But the test proved she was.
Jeniffer, 30, fell pregnant with Orin while Lennon was two-timing her with bar manager Irene McCloy.
Irene, 31, also fell pregnant, a short while before Jeniffer – making Lennon a dad twice in six months.
After Orin was born he refused offers to see her and refused to give maintenance money.
Meanwhile, he has been living with Irene and their 15-month-old son Gallagher at his luxury home in Glasgow’s West End. He also pays maintenance for his teenage daughter Alisha from an earlier relationship. It is understood he pays for Alisha to attend a private school.
Meanwhile, Lennon is also – the Irish Sunday Mirror revealed last month – showering his former girlfriend Fiona Brown, 24, with thousands of pounds worth of gifts.
Student Fiona has moved into a luxury flat in Glasgow’s Merchant City and drives a new sports car. She told friends Lennon had given her pounds 22,000 in September.
Before Jeniffer’s pregnancy was revealed last April, Lennon’s aides say he paid £45,000 into her bank account to take care of the child. But he was furious when the pregnancy became public. He and Jeniffer then had a series of bitter rows.
Until the CSA’s involvement, he refused to pay any more money for Orin, who shares his red hair and features.
Last summer, his lawyers said he had “no proposals whatsoever” to make regarding maintenance.
Jeniffer then called in the CSA – set up to chase down absent dads.
It is understood that, at one point, the agency then instructed Celtic to start some deducting maintenance payments from the player’s salary. A CSA spokesman, who could not discuss an individual case, said: “This is done in cases where someone has not paid and or has not co-operated with the agency.”
Jeniffer has previously stated that she wants Lennon to publicly acknowledge he is the dad by signing Orin’s birth certificate. But the source said that was unlikely, adding: “Neil just wishes he never set eyes on the woman in the first place.”
Lennon and Jeniffer had a five-year relationship after meeting in a Glasgow bar in 2001. He claimed the baby was conceived during a one-off “moment of madness” when the pair were no longer an item.
But she claimed they were still in their full-on relationship which had continued after Lennon had met Irene in 2003.
Lennon and Jeniffer have had no contact since the baby was born and communicate only through lawyers.
Lennon, who played in Celtic’s 2-1 victory over Dunfermline yesterday, and his agent were unavailable for comment.
At the door of her home in Eaglesham, near Glasgow, Jeniffer said: “I don’t want to talk about this.”

LOVE RAT LENNON IS SUED OVER BABY; EXCLUSIVE Dumped lover wants ex-Celtic star to pay up for love child.
Byline: by SIMON HOUSTON
FORMER Celtic captain Neil Lennon is being taken to court after refusing to admit he is the father of a love-child.
Former lover Jeniffer Jonsen is demanding the 36-year-old ex-Parkhead hero puts his name on her daughter’s birth certificate and pays proper maintenance.
Lennon, who moved to English First Division team Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, is already having his wages docked by the Child Support Agency after a DNA test proved he is the father of the one-year-old child.
Now he faces the embarrassment of giving evidence in the case at Paisley Sheriff Court in September.
Lawyers for love-rat Lennon, who earned £30,000 a week in Glasgow, are defending the action even though the Ulster-born star has been forced to part with a small slice of earnings through the CSA.
Last night a source revealed: “The papers were lodged at Paisley Sheriff Court. Both parties will be expected to go along with their lawyers on September 20, but whether Neil actually turns up in person is another matter. The season will be well underway by then and he may let his solicitor handle the matter.”
Singer Jeniffer, 30, fell pregnant with the baby while Lennon was two timing her with bar manager Irene McCloy. Irene, 31, also fell pregnant, a short while before Jeniffer – making Lennon a dad twice in six months.
After the baby was born he refused to see her or pay maintenance.
Meanwhile, he had been living with Irene and their 19-month-old son Gallagher at his luxury home in Glasgow’s West End.
He also pays maintenance for his teenage daughter Alisha from an earlier relationship. It is understood he pays for Alisha to attend a private school. It’s also understood Lennon’s CSA payments for the second child are about £250 a week.
The footballer’s agent Martin Reilly had claimed the child might not be Lennon’s. But the DNA test proved she was.
Before Jeniffer’s pregnancy was revealed last year, Lennon’s aides say he paid £30,000 into her bank account to take care of the child.
But he was furious when the pregnancy became public. He and Jeniffer then had a series of bitter rows.
Until the CSA’s involvement, he refused to pay any more money for the little girl. Last summer his lawyers said he had “no proposals whatsoever” over maintenance. Jeniffer then called in the CSA. She has refused to comment on the latest development, but last night a friend said: “Everyone knows Neil is the father but for some reason he refuses to acknowledge the child and won’t have his name on the birth certificate. Jeniffer doesn’t want him to be part of her or her daughter’s life but she is sickened that he has so far refused to even acknowledge his child’s existence.”
Lennon and Jeniffer had a five-year relationship after meeting in a Glasgow bar in 2001. He claimed the baby was conceived during a “moment of madness” when the pair were no longer an item.
But she claimed they were still in their full-on relationship, which had continued even after Lennon met Irene in 2003.

One minute they were strutting around half naked ..the next their clothes were off and they were at it on the sofa; EXCLUSIVE: LENNON’S NUDE LIVE SEX SHOW.
Byline: By THOMAS SMITH and GILL SMITH
CHEATING Celtic hero Neil Lennon enjoyed a steamy extra-time romp with his mistress – while his longsuffering partner was at home caring for their toddler son.
Love-rat Lennon cavorted naked with his lover Fiona Brown in full view of astonished regulars at a pub opposite.
The 36-year-old, who quit The Hoops last month for English Division One team Nottingham Forest, returned to Scotland last week as part of his team’s pre-season friendly tour.
And cad Lennon wasted no time in making time for a friendly of his own following Forest’s match against Kilmarnock on Tuesday.
The Irish star played in Forest’s 3-1 win against Kilmarnock – watched by his loyal partner Irene McCloy and their 18-month-old son Gallagher. But after the evening game, Irene and sleepy Gallagher were left to cadge a lift home to their Glasgow pad with his agent Martin Reilly…
While Lennon borrowed Irene’s swanky Range Rover so he could make a detour to Lanark-shire, for a rub-down from busty psychology student Fiona, 24.
But little did the lusty duo know their X-rated sex show was being watched by stunned drinkers at a Beefeater pub opposite who’d popped outside for a smoke – and ended up with an eyeful.
A witness said: “Lennon and the girl were completely naked and seemed totally unbothered about whether anyone could see them. The curtains were open and the French doors were too.
“One minute they were strutting around half-naked, the next minute the clothes were off and they were going at it on the sofa.”
Lennon’s visit to Fiona came late on Tuesday night as the rest of his Forest team-mates boarded the team bus to head back to their hotel on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
He parked Irene’s car in a space behind the flats where he has installed Fiona and which were recently built on the site of the old Glasgow Zoo.
Minutes later, in full view of passers-by and motorists on the street below, he appeared at the full-length, sliding French doors in Fiona’s living room – on the second-floor of the flats.
Stripped to the waist, Lennon was still wearing his official Forest tracksuit bottoms, but had ditched the club T-shirt and zipper. Standing next to her bare-chested lover, Fiona was dressed in skimpy underwear and high heels as she constantly fixed her hair and preened herself.
With the bright living room lights on but the curtains left open, the pair left little to the imagination for pub guests and drivers using its car park. Some coming to and from the car park actually stopped in their tracks and stared up at the spectacle unfolding.
Later the blonde student would disappear into a bedroom, only to reappear dressed in a different set of revealing undies.
Lennon grabbed a drink and sat back on the couch to enjoy the show, oblivious to the small crowd looking on from the street and car park below. The pair laughed and chatted together before Lennon got to his feet, grabbed the TV remote control and started changing channels.
Moments later, he stripped for action and whipped off his Forest bottoms to reveal a pair of tight, white boxer shorts. The pair then jumped on to the couch together.
For the next 10 minutes, they were clearly visible, writhing around in each other’s arms. Soon after, they disappointed the onlookers when they took their action to the bedroom. But pubgoers weren’t to be disappointed for long – as the couple then re-emerged in the buff leaving NOTHING to imagination.
They sipped drinks, and at one point Fiona, who has a huge tattoo on the small of her back, playfully slapped Lennon’s backside.
She stood fixing her hair and admiring her reflection in the glass doors – seemingly oblivious to the fact that she was standing facing the street below completely naked.
The pair then collapsed on to the couch together before finally pulling the curtain down on their steamy show to go to bed.
The next day he returned to his team hotel in time for morning training.
A source said: “The pair couldn’t keep their hands off one another and Lennon seemed to love every minute of the sexy undies performance that Fiona put on for him. Unknown to him though, he wasn’t the only guy enjoying the show.
“He’s unbelievable. He’s only back in Scotland a few days and he just can’t help himself. He’s got form for being a cheat but I’m sure his missus Irene won’t be too happy when she hears about it. You wonder how much humiliation one woman can stand.”
Last night Lennon’s agent Martin Reilly lied about the player’s movements and insisted he hadn’t been at Fiona’s flat. He said: “They played Kilmarnock on Tuesday night and he went back to Edinburgh on the bus.”
In February the Irish Sunday Mirror revealed how Lennon had showered Fiona with gifts, including a new car, and paid for the rent on a posh pad for her in Glasgow. At the time, Fiona insisted she wasn’t having an affair with Lennon, who was seen visiting the flat several times. She said they were just “good friends”.
Irene has stuck with Lennon despite a string of embarrassments. He fathered a love-child with Glasgow singer Jeniffer Jonsen while Irene was pregnant with Gallagher.
He paid a gushing tribute to Irene in his autobiography Man and Bhoy.
He described how Irene stood by his side on the pitch at Parkhead last year on the day Celtic were presented with the league trophy – the same day the story about his lovechild broke.
He said: “Thankfully my beautiful and wonderful Irene stood by me and showed incredible courage by walking on to Celtic Park that day with Gallagher in her arms. I was so proud to be seen with this strong and lovely woman – her courage is one of the many reasons I love her.”
But last week it was a different story as Lennon waved goodbye to Irene following the match at Kilmarnock. She was left at home holding the baby while her wayward partner cheated on her.
On Thursday, she dutifully travelled across to Dunfermline with agent Reilly to watch Lennon play in his team’s second friendly.
He is being taken to court by Jeniffer, 30, who is demanding he puts his name on their one-year-old daughter’s birth certificate.
A DNA test has already proved he is the father of the little girl, who was born last June, and he’s been forced to make CSA payments.
Now he faces the embarrassment of giving evidence at Paisley Sheriff Court in September.
Jeniffer fell pregnant while Lennon was two-timing her with bar manager Irene – making Lennon a dad twice in six months.
He claimed the baby was conceived during a one-off “moment of madness” with Jeniffer.
Last night his agent said Lennon had no comment to make.

LENNON IS DUMPED BY SEXY MISTRESS; EXCLUSIVE: LOVERS IN PHONE ROW Showdown as Neil’s partner confronts his secret mistress.
Byline: By SIMON HOUSTON
LOVE-RAT Neil Lennon has been dumped by his blonde mistress -after she was confronted by his long-suffering partner in a dramatic phone showdown.
Beauty Fiona Brown gave the cheating ex-Celtic hero the heave after realising he had lied to her about the state of his relationship with loyal missus Irene McCloy.
Furious Irene called her love rival hours after we revealed last weekend that Lennon had romped nude with Fiona… in full view of pub regulars opposite after they forgot to draw the curtains.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that Fiona recently had a boob job paid for by Lennon – and was possibly admiring her new busty reflection when she was seen nude at her window.
Psychology student Fiona, 24, was left gobsmacked last Sunday morning as she was confronted by an angry and tearful Irene over her lengthy affair with Lennon, 36.
The two women in the midfielder’s complicated life were caught up in an amazing tit-for-tat cat fight as each sought to stake their claim on him.
Now, after days of agonising, Fiona has told friends she wants nothing more to do with Lennon, who showered her with thousands of pounds of gifts during their affair. But she didn’t give up her man without a fight…
A pal of Fiona’s said: “Her phone went on Sunday morning and it was Neil’s number. But it wasn’t Neil on the line. It was Irene. And Irene was fizzing with anger, wanting to know how long Fiona had been seeing her fella.
“Fiona gave back as good as she got. She revealed Neil had said his relationship with Irene was over and they slept separately. Then Fiona told Irene that she had been to Nottingham to visit Lennon – which didn’t go down well with Irene.
“They had a blazing row where it became clear both thought it was them, not the other one, who Lennon loved. It was like something out of EastEnders. Two women screaming at each other about a cheating man.
“Afterwards, Fiona had a good think about things – and now she wants rid of him. She realised he’ had been lying to her all along.”
Fiona has gone into hiding, fearing she has become a laughing stock and worried she has brought embarassment on her business man father John. Irene, 31, was appalled to discover from the Irish Sunday Mirror that Lennon, who now plays for English Division I side, ‘ Nottingham Forest, had cavorted naked with Fiona while she was back at her and Lennon’s Glasgow pad with their 18-month-old son Gallagher.
Drinkers at the Beefeater pub opposite Fiona’s Lanarkshire flat were treated to a live sex show after the couple failed to draw the curtains.
At one point, in a series of X-rated pictures, Fiona stands completely naked staring out of the window of her second-floor flat, appearing to admire her enhanced bust in the reflection. Fiona’s pal said:
“She was very pleased with her boob job. She went up from a B cup to a D cup. Now, though, it has all gone wrong with Neil.
“She is absolutely petrified at the thought of having to go back to university for the autumn term to face all her classmates. She feels utterly humiliated by the whole affair.”
The affair came to a head when Lennon, from Lurgan, Co. Armagh, visited Fiona at her flat in Uddingston, on Tuesday July 24 after his team’s friendly against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
The love-cheat borrowed Irene’s flash 4×4 after the game, leaving her and Gallagher to be driven home by his agent, Martin Reilly. With the bright living room lights on but the curtains open, the pair left NOTHING to the imagination for pub guests and drivers using its car park.
One said: “One minute they were strutting round half-naked, the next the clothes were off and they were going at it on the sofa”
In February the Irish Sunday Mirror revealed how Lennon had showered Fiona with expensive gifts and paid for the rent on a posh pad for her in Glasgow.
Though he was seen visiting the flat several times, at the time Fiona insisted they weren’t having an affair – they were just “good friends”.
Now their relationship looks to be over for good. The source said: “Fiona is quite distraught. Her world has caved in around her and she wants to focus on her studies.”
Irene has also been left to pick up the pieces after Lennon returned to Nottingham. She has stuck by him despite a string of embarrassments.
He fathered a love-child with singer Jeniffer Jonsen while Irene was pregnant with Gallagher. And he is now being taken to court by Jeniffer, 30, who is demanding he puts his, name on their daughter’s birth certificate and pays more maintenance for her.

LENNON: I’M NOTTS PAYING UP FOR KID; Court drama for ex-Celtic star Neil…
Byline: By GILL SMITH
FORMER Celtic captain Neil Lennon is set for a showdown with his ex this week after refusing to stump up extra cash for his love-child.
The love-rat, left, is being taken to court by singer Jeniffer Jonsen after refusing to acknowledge he’s the father of her 18-month old daughter.
Now, the pair will go head to head at Paisley Sheriff Court on Thursday as Jeniffer, 30, demands the 36-year-old Co Armagh-born hero pays her more money and puts his name on her daughter’s birth certificate.
Lennon, who moved to English First Division team Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, has already had his wages docked after tests proved he is the father.
A source said: “Neil is adamant he won’t compromise. He’s ready for court and has no interest in bowing. He can’t stand Jeniffer.” Jeniffer fell pregnant while Lennon was two-timing her with his partner Irene McCloy, 31.
Irene also fell pregnant, a short while before Jeniffer. Lennon claimed the baby was conceived during a “moment of madness” with Jeniffer when the pair were no longer an item.
He refused to have any contact with Jeniffer’s child.
Before the pregnancy was revealed last year, Lennon’s aides say he paid her £45,000 to take care of the child. He was furious when the news became public.
The latest saga in Lennon’s life comes just weeks after the Irish Sunday Mirror revealed how the star had cavorted naked with lover Fiona Brown while long suffering Irene, 31, was back in Glasgow with their baby son.

Love-rat Lennon to marry; EXCLUSIVE.
Byline: By GILL SMITH
FORMER Celtic captain Neil Lennon is to marry his long-suffering partner Irene McCloy.
The love-rat popped the question on Christmas Day after fed-up Irene told him: “Marry me or it’s over”.
Lennon, 36, who now plays with English outfit Wycombe Wanderers, has humiliated Irene after a string of affairs.
But Irene, who has a two-year-old son Gallagher with Lennon has stuck by him and has left Glasgow to set up home with him.
It is thought the couple will tie the knot in the summer .
A source said: “Irene basically gave Neil an ultimatum and told her either to commit to her or their relationship was over. I suppose she must have thought she deserved a ring on her finger for putting up with such bad treatment.
“Neil realised he would lose Irene and Gallagher unless he got down on bended knee.”
Her dignity has been tested throughout her three-year relationship.
She was left devastated after discovering love rival Jeniffer Jonsen, 32, had fallen pregnant to Lennon – while Irene, 33, was also pregnant to him.
Lennon once said: “I didn’t want to get married because I didn’t want to be tied down and be miserable after my playing career.
“I’d be worried getting married would make me lose my focus because, right now, football is the most important thing in my life.”

LOVE RAT LENNON TO WED HIS IRENE; EXCLUSIVE That’s Irene who he humiliated with two mistresses, one love child and a naked, public romp.
Byline: By GILL SMITH
FORMER Celtic captain Neil Lennon is to marry his long-suffering partner Irene McCloy.
The love-cheat midfielder popped the question on Christmas day after fed-up Irene told him: Marry me or it’s over.
Lennon, who now plays with English League Two outfit Wycombe Wanderers, has repeatedly humiliated Irene by publicly cheating on her.
But Irene, 33, who has a two-year-old son Gallagher with Lennon, has stuck by him – and has now left Glasgow to set up home with him down South.
It’s thought the couple will tie the knot in a lavish summer wedding – a huge about-turn by Lennon who had previously insisted he would not marry as it would make him “miserable”.
A source said: “Irene told Neil it was marriage or nothing. He got down on his knee on Christmas Day, “After all the humiliation she has been exposed to by him, a ring on her finger is the least she deserves.”
Irene’s dignity has been tested to the limit throughout her four-year relationship with Lennon, 36.
While pregnant with son Gallagher she was devastated in April, 2006, when it emerged Lennon had been cheating on her with singer Jeniffer Jonsen, 32 – and had got Jeniffer pregnant too.
Two weeks ago Lennon was forced to officially acknowledge Jeniffer’s 19-month-old daughter Orin as his – when his name was put to her birth certificate.
The move came after a DNA test proved he was the father.
But the biggest public humiliation of all for Irene came last July when Lennon cavorted naked with a second mistress, student Fiona Brown, in full view of pub regulars after forgetting to draw the curtains.
The Sunday Mirror revealed how loyal Irene was at Lennon’s Glasgow home looking after their toddler son while he played away.
Our extraordinary pictures showed Fiona, 24, and Lennon standing completely naked at the window of her secondfloor flat in Uddingston, Lanarkshire.
Fiona, whom Lennon showered with thousands of pounds worth of gifts, then dumped him – before having a stand-up row with humiliated Irene in a Glasgow bar.
Lennon has previously insisted he would not marry because it would cramp his style. In 2003 he said he wouldn’t wed because he didn’t want to be “tied down and miserable after my playing career”.
The source said: “Lennon’s track record is so bad she must think he can’t behave any worse if they get married.”

EXCLUSIVE: Football boss Neil Lennon in ‘knife threat’ to mistress after she threatened to tell his partner about affair
The Bolton Wanderers manager and BBC pundit had a romance with a woman 20 years his junior behind his partner’s back
By Aaron Sharp
Soccer boss Neil Lennon’s mistress has told of their relationship – and how he made a knife threat to her when she told him she would tell his partner.
It is a story the Bolton boss and BBC pundit tried to ban after he claimed he was the victim.
But today we can reveal how he had a year-long romance with the woman – 20 years his junior – behind his long- term partner’s back.
He began dating the girl after meeting her in a pub. But she claims their affair soured when she found Lennon had started seeing a third woman.
It was then that she threatened to go to his partner – only for Lennon to turn nasty, telling her someone “could” put a knife to her throat if she spoke out.
Since then the 44-year-old former Celtic manager has tried to stop the Sunday Mirror publishing the story of the mistress – who we are calling Kim.
Now we can disclose how they met and how he was open about the affair in front of colleagues – inviting the girl to stay in the Bolton team hotel the night before match days.
We can tell how he offered Kim £10,000 in cash to buy her silence when it all went wrong and how he paid an agent to serve her a gagging contract.
We also reveal how the soccer boss told police he was being blackmailed – even though Irene McCloy, his partner and mother of his child, had already been told of the affair by Kim.
Kim said: “Neil Lennon’s ruined my life. He told me he loved me and made me feel part of his life.
“But just like he has cheated on Irene, he was doing the same to me. When I found out, he became a monster.
“He made me fear for my life. He set powerful lawyers on me – and I found a police officer challenging my behaviour.
“But no one is too powerful to bury the truth.”
Lennon, from Lurgan, Northern Ireland, has cheated on Irene at least twice before.
In 2006, when she was pregnant, he was forced to admit Glasgow singer Jeniffer Jonsen was also expecting a child to him.
After that indiscretion, Lennon said: “I’m sorry for all the hurt I have caused.
“It was the most stupid thing I have ever done in my entire life. I’m in love with Irene. She’s the woman for me.”
Irene forgave him but was again betrayed. In July 2007 Lennon – then a player – was seen cavorting naked with psychology student Fiona Brown.
Since stepping into management, Lennon has portrayed himself as a family man, often inviting Irene to Bolton’s Macron Stadium.
He has taken his son to training sessions in a bid to motivate his players.
But last year he returned to his cheating ways after approaching Kim in her local pub.
She says the pair exchanged numbers and began meeting at the same bar for dates, with Lennon saying he was in an unhappy relationship.
Earlier this year, Kim said she stayed at Lennon’s house for the first time when Irene was away.
She said: “I was nervous going round there, I didn’t know what to think.
“Neil said he had no relationship with Irene, but it was still their house and we were sleeping in their bed.
“He reassured me everything was OK. Looking back, I can’t believe how relaxed he was, but that’s what made me feel like what we were doing was fine.
“But the next week, Neil got in touch to say Irene had found one of my false eye-lashes in the bed.
“He told me he lied and said one of the coaches had stayed over with his wife, but it was a close one.”
Despite hiding his affair from Irene, Lennon was less secretive in front of his friends.
They dined together at the San Carlo restaurant in Manchester and enjoyed a night out in London’s Covent Garden.
Over the past year, Kim also became a confidante of the troubled manager.
She says he even asked her advice on how to get struggling Bolton back to winning ways.
When Kim suggested he print off the league table and highlight the position his side would be in if they were to win, he did it, texting her: “If we win tomorrow you will get bonus x”.
Over the year they spent together, Kim claimed the pair had sex at Lennon’s home, at her flat and at the team hotel – normally the Macdonald Kilhey Court, Standish – before matches.
At a different hotel, on the night before Bolton’s 2-1 win over Wolves, on September 12, Kim found a text on his phone from a contact named “Shay” which simply read “Morning xxx”.
She confronted Lennon and claims that, after initially denying any wrongdoing, he admitted going on dates with another woman, a Bolton fan.
Kim said: “At first he tried to tell me the girl was his cousin, but I saved the number and told him I would call it and find out the truth.
“I made him dial the number in front of me, I can still remember his hands shaking as he held his phone.
“In the end he stopped, and I had to call her. She told me everything.” After the row, she stormed out of the hotel in front of Bolton staff.
“Then on Thursday, October 22, she picked Lennon up from Manchester Airport after he returned from working as a TV pundit.
They had an argument and Kim stopped her car on the side of the motorway, threatening to tell Irene the truth and expose his latest affair.
It was then, she claims, Lennon told her someone “could” hold a knife to her throat if she spoke out. Lennon has continually denied making the threat.
But upset at the sudden change in his character, Kim later pressed him on what he meant by the comment.
In a recording of a phone call with Kim, heard by the Sunday Mirror, Lennon replied: “No, I said that – that – that’s what will happen.
“I didn’t say I would do it and I – I didn’t threaten you with it at all. I said that it could possibly happen… and that’s what I don’t want.”
Kim says that, in the fallout of the threat, Lennon began to phase her out of his life, saying he would help her buy a house.
But, still reeling from the revelation about a third woman, Kim decided to clear her conscience and tell Irene.
Desperate to keep his secret safe, he began to behave erratically.
A week later he offered her £10,000 cash to end their relationship. She did not take the money.
“He told me he’d pay the money and I could start afresh,” said Kim. “I honestly thought it was his way of looking after me.
“He’d used to say he loved me, that I made him a better person. I believed this was his way of helping me move on.
“But I decided I didn’t want his money. I didn’t want to be bought.”
Days later, with Lennon in Ipswich overseeing a Bolton defeat, Kim knocked on Irene’s door and confessed to the affair.
Kim claimed: “When I told Irene about what had been going on, her reaction was one of sadness more than surprise.
“She invited me in and we talked things through. She even poured me a glass of wine. I sent her a voice recording I’d made of Neil’s rants at me.
“She apologised on his behalf.
“At one point, Neil called my phone. I told him where I was and he just put the phone down.”
With Irene now aware of the affair, Lennon ceased all contact with Kim – but the messages from his friends and colleagues became more worrying.
Hours after visiting Irene, Kim received abusive texts from the phone number of his assistant, the former Nottingham Forest midfielder Garry Parker, in which he used a foul four letter word to describe her.
Parker denies sending them. Worryingly, one message read: “You’re seriously fucked up. I’d be watching my back if I were you.”
Kim said: “I knew it was wrong to be in a relationship with a man who isn’t single, but I recognised that and tried to do the right thing, I wanted to come clean.
“Suddenly, all I was getting was abuse and threats that no girl should have to deal with. I decided I wanted to tell my story.”
After Kim made up her mind, Lennon went on the offensive and she claims sought to destroy her reputation.
He enlisted the help of a top London law firm and a “reputation management consultant”, offering her the chance to sign a contract and be paid £10,000 in three instalments.
In return, she would have to delete all her pictures of the pair together, any texts between the two and never speak about their fling to anyone.
Kim refused and sent the agent away – but she soon found Lennon had gone to the police.
“Before the agent left I told him how stressful the whole thing had been,” said Kim.
“I told him I’d been labelled a blackmailer by Neil – the man who’d been offering me money.
“The agent seemed to seize on that. He said Neil wasn’t minded to go to the police, but said he could do if I spoke to a newspaper.
“Neil tried to tell me before that I’d blackmailed him – but I knew there was no base to that claim.
“So I never felt threatened, but with another threat coming from this agent, I began to worry.”
Sticking to her principles, Kim refused to let her silence be bought.
But, in what appears to be another attempt to control the situation, Lennon finally reported a claim of blackmail to Greater Manchester Police on November 26 – but said he did not want to pursue it.
Despite this, a serving police inspector called Kim on her mobile.
He explained he’d come straight from an interview with Lennon and seen information which could amount to blackmail.
Kim pushed the officer on whether he was following an official line of inquiry.
She asked him whether his colleagues would be aware he was issuing the warning to her.
He said: “Er… probably not. No, they probably won’t confirm that.”
Greater Manchester Police have since confirmed they received a complaint of blackmail.
But added: “The complainant is not pursuing the matter at this time.”
Kim said: “This was the last straw. I was guilty of nothing more than having an affair.
“But because the man I happened to have an affair with was a football manager, I’d been intimidated by him, his coaching staff, expensive lawyers – and now even the police were telling me I could end up in a cell.
“All this was so devastating because I really did love him.”
Recordings of Kim’s calls to GMP appear to show the inspector misled her over the official nature of the complaint. Kim is confident there’s no blackmail case to answer.
Via his legal team, Lennon has maintained he is a victim of a blackmail – but has not produced evidence to our lawyers to back this up.
The complaint he made to GMP was issued with a crime reference number, but the force confirmed Lennon didn’t want to pursue the matter at the time of publication.
Lennon’s assistant Garry Parker denies he told Kim to “watch her back”.
Lennon also denied issuing the knife threat to Kim, but she has played us her recordings of a conversation in which he clarifies the threat.
After telling all, she said: “It’s been a nightmare. But I’ve never given up hope I’d be able to tell this story.
“People who do bad things shouldn’t be able to wave money at mistakes and make them go away.”
A spokesman for Lennon insisted that he was the victim of a blackmail.
Police ‘warned’ Bolton boss Neil Lennon’s mistress over her ‘blackmail’
After enlisting top lawyers to silence Kim, Neil Lennon turned to Greater Manchester Police to claim she was blackmailing him.
He filed a report to an inspector on November 26 which he insisted he did not want to pursue.
Despite this, the officer went to a property he thought was Kim’s but got the wrong address.
So he phoned her and a conversation took place which, Kim says, left her intimidated.
The officer, who told her his name, warned her if her “blackmail” continued she’d “probably be arrested”.
Despite the inspector’s warning that the matter “will be reported”, GMP have confirmed to us there had already been a report made.
They did not comment on why the officer misled Kim.
During the conversation, the inspector was told of threats of violence towards Kim.
He has denied knowledge of this allegation, but we have heard evidence to disprove this.
According to GMP’s advice on domestic violence, any report of this kind should always be logged.
Their website reads: “If the victim indicates they do not… wish to make a formal complaint, a crime report is still required.

Lennon facing sack over claim he made knife threat to mistress Bolton bosses summon ex-Celt to showdown talks
Daily Record DAVID TAYLOR david.taylor@dailyrecord.co.uk
NEIL LENNON is facing an investigation by his bosses at Bolton Wanderers over claims that he made a knife threat to his mistress.
The Daily Record understands that the former Celtic manager and his representatives have been summoned to showdown talks today at the club’s Macron Stadium over the allegations.
And if the bosses are not satisfied with his explanation, he is likely to be sacked as manager of the cash-strapped English Championship club.
A Bolton Wanderers spokesman said: “The club are conducting an internal investigation.”
Lennon, 44, was called to the meeting after reports published yesterday in our sister papers the Sunday Mirror and Sunday Mail.
It is alleged he cheated on long-term partner Irene McCloy, the mother of his son, then made a chilling threat to his lover after she threatened to tell Irene about their affair.
The woman, named only as Kim, says Lennon told her someone “could” hold a knife to her throat. He denies it.
Kim said she went to Irene and confessed to the affair after finding out that Lennon had been cheating on her with a third woman.
She added: “Neil Lennon’s ruined my life. He told me he loved me and made me feel part of his life.
“But just like he has cheated on Irene, he was doing the same to me.
“When I found out, he became a monster. He made me fear for my life.”
Kim says that after the alleged threat from Lennon, she demanded to know what he had meant.
She says she has a recording of him telling her: “No, I said that – that – that’s what will happen.
“I didn’t say I would do it and I– I didn’t threaten you with it at all. I said that it could possibly happen… and that’s what I don’t want.”
Kim said she began the year-long affair with Lennon after he approached her in a pub. She says they met at the home he shares with Irene, at her flat and at Bolton’s team hotel before games.
She said the affair fell apart after she found a text on Lennon’s phone from a woman called “Shay” and made him call the number. She says she spoke to the woman, who confirmed she had been seeing Lennon.
Lennon has cheated on Irene at least twice before.
In 2006, while Irene was pregnant, he admitted Glasgow singer Jennifer Jonsen was also expecting his child.
And in 2007, it emerged he also had an affair with psychology student Fiona Brown while he was captain of Celtic.
Kim said that before she told Irene about her affair with Lennon, he offered her £10,000 in cash to end it.
She said: “He told me he’d pay the money and I could start afresh. I honestly thought it was his way of looking after me.
“But I decided I didn’t want to be bought.”
Days later, Kim knocked on Irene’s door and told her about the affair.
She said: “Her reaction was one of sadness more than surprise.
“She invited me in and we talked things through. She even poured me a glass of wine. I sent her a voice recording I’d made of Neil’s rants at me. She apologised on his behalf.
“At one point, Neil called my phone. I told him where I was and he just put the phone down.”
Kim said that hours after her meeting with Irene, she received abusive texts from the phone number of his assistant at Bolton, former Celtic first team coach Garry Parker.
She said the texts used a four-letter word to describe her and warned her: “You’re seriously fucked up.
“I’d be watching my back if I were you.” Parker denies sending the messages.
Kim said that after she told Irene, Lennon broke off all contact with her.
But he then called in a leading law firm and a “reputation management consultant” who offered her £10,000 of Lennon’s money in three instalments.
In return, she would be expected to delete all photos of herself with Lennon and all texts between them and never speak to anyone about the affair.
She said she refused and sent the agent away. Lennon then made a complaint to police in November 2014, accusing Kim of blackmailing him. Police confirmed they had received the complaint, but added:
“The complainant is not pursuing the matter at this time.”
Kim said of the complaint: “It was the last straw.
“I was guilty of nothing more than having an affair.
“But because the man I happened to have an affair with was a football manager, I’d been intimidated by him, his coaching staff, expensive lawyers and now even the police.
“This has been a nightmare. People who do bad things time and time again shouldn’t be able to wave money at their mistakes and make them go away.”
Bolton are rooted to the bottom of the Championship after a nightmare season.
Owner Eddie Davis has withdrawn his financial backing and the club could go into administration next month.

Lennon escapes axe from Trotters; Lennon toremain incharge AT BOLTON.
Byline: KEITH MACLEOD k.macleod@dailyrecord.co.uk
NEIL LENNON is to stay in charge at Bolton Wanderers after a probe into claims he threatened a woman.
The Daily Record’s sister papers, the Sunday Mail and Sunday Mirror, revealed claims from the woman – known as Kim – with whom the ex-Celtic manager was allegedly having an affair.
Last night the club, which is bottom of the English Championship, said: “Bolton Wanderers have concluded an internal investigation.
“The club has dealt with the matter internally and acted accordingly, details of which will remain private.
“Neil Lennon will remain in charge of the first-team squad. The club will make no further comment.”
Kim claimed Lennon, 44, told her someone “could” hold a knife to her throat if she revealed their affair to his partner, Irene.
She also claimed he made a report to police in England claiming he was being blackmailed.
The Sunday Mirror article stated that Lennon tried to ban them from publishing the article and added that the ex-Northern Ireland player made a blackmail allegation to police but did not wish to pursue it.
All of the above is from a man who the Celtic fans put in the same breath as Brother Walfrid.
All the above behaviour is from a man who wants us to respect his global child raping on an industrial scale, misogynistic, hocus pocus, blasphemous, idolatrous, graven image worshipping whore of Babylon cult all backed by threat of imprisonment.
And yet Neil Frances Lennon can’t even respect it’s basic tenants.
