Keep thinking about this - it’s just so awful

I found out today that David Crockford is now on the sex offenders register and under a suspended jail sentence, after being found guilty of placing a secret camera with intent to film a young woman. Is this common knowledge in the dressage community? As some in the dressage community in the...
