Story 1
I had worked for Amelia when the store first began to be developed on, all I can say is that it was an extremely corrupt and toxic place to work overall. I had applied for a developer role after working as a customer assistant for quite a while, the application process was easy and straight forward, Before I was allowed to complete anything, I received a call from one of their “representatives” over the phone, at the time this seemed like something unusual for a supermarket group. The individual on the phone sounded very young and advised me on the next steps of “employment” with the group. I was later invited to a meeting with around 5-10 senior staff members and members of the ownership department, they very abruptly demanded access to some of my older creations to “evaluate” them, this again seemed very unusual for a development position. I was told at the end of the meeting I’d need to sign a contract (I never once gave my signature or name for this to be signed). I didn’t hear anything for a few days so I decided to contact and the young individual on the phone said that they’d signed the contract for me as “I didn’t seem like I was going to sign it”. I was never added to the studio but I was bullied daily by other members of the ownership department in my DMs and in ownership group chats, I found this strange as Bloxmart advertises that it is a “friendly” business to work for, I’m sure that most of the management team didn’t even know what the work friendly meant. On my 3rd day “working” for Bloxmart I decided to tell Amelia that I would be leaving the company as I’ve received nothing but abuse and horrible messages, she then told me that I had ruined everything anyways and that the best thing was for me to leave anyways, she then proceeded to block me and get her “PA” to message me to say that I had broken the “contract” that I had signed and that they’d be reporting me to some Roblox blacklisting company. Even though my time at BloxMart was short, I still believe that people should be aware of the overall lack of respect that higher management had for us, I see now that I’m not the only one who was verbally abused and bullied into signing a “contract”.
Story 2
I first met Amelia on June 22, and at first, our interaction seemed normal. She didn’t talk to me much until my dad brought up autism and dyspraxia, and then she became more engaged. Later that day, she followed me on Instagram and sent me a message saying it was amazing to meet someone with similar struggles. She even compared it to a scene from Humans where robots recognize each other as the same. It seemed harmless enough at the time.
Over the next few weeks, Amelia and I messaged frequently. At first, she seemed kind and supportive, sharing her experiences of being autistic and neurodivergent. But as time went on, her messages became more intense. She started opening up about deeply personal things—her abusive father, a manipulative ex, and how lonely she felt. While I initially felt bad for her, it soon became overwhelming.
Amelia started saying things like she wished she could “adopt” me or “kidnap” me because it was so sad that I didn’t get the love I deserved. Once, she even compared it to Madeleine McCann, saying the difference was that I’d probably consent. It was supposed to be a joke, but it felt inappropriate and uncomfortable.
She often told me how much she missed me or wished we could meet more, even though we’d only met once. She offered to let me stay at her house multiple times, saying things like, “I’ve driven hours to help my autistic friends before, and I’d do the same for you.” She positioned herself as someone who could “save” me, frequently saying she didn’t want me to feel alone because she knew how hard it was.
Her behavior blurred the line between support and something more unsettling. It started to feel like she was trying to step into a role she didn’t belong in, constantly inserting herself into my life. While it started as friendly and understanding, it became overly personal and left me feeling uncomfortable.

Story 3
I first saw Amelia when she began appearing on my tiktok fyp, and then I began seeing that she was interacting and being interacted with a friend of mine, Abbie. Through Abbie, talking to amelia about Abbie, and my own conversations with Amelia, I began to become close with Amelia, however it wasn’t until after Abbie and Amelia broke up when I became closest with Amelia. It began as mutual interactions on each others social media, with her commenting on my posts and stories, and me always being a friendly face whenever Amelia was struggling with people being ‘hurtful’ and rude, as I always found myself to be there for people no matter what. Every so often we would have a little conversation if something on either of our accounts became an attention piece, but it wasn’t until April 2024 that it became weird. At this point I was 17. I had blocked her on my personal private ‘spam’ account, as it became very personal and had information about my close personal life on it, however I didn’t want this to affect my friendship with Amelia, so I told her I didn’t. After our conversation about it, unprovoked she messaged saying she ‘kinda wished she could give me loads of cuddles’ which made me uncomfortable, however I let it slide. After this, she would always mention me coming to Scotland, how pretty/gorgeous I was, and then ultimately her OnlyFans.
I would always be friendly about her OF, as I understand the accessibility of SW and how it can be beneficial for those over 18 if they choose to do it. However in this conversation I am referring to, she subtly hinted about how many signups she was having, and then told me I’d need to ‘sign-up when I got home’, to which I told her I was 17. However this didn’t deter Amelia, as she replied stating that ‘It doesn’t actually check; It’s more of a tickbox thing; and that Fab signed up and he is only 15.’ At the time of receiving these messages, I was in my college with my friends, and we all found her behaviour very weird, but took it upon ourselves to mess around with her a bit (Which in Hindsight was not very smart at all). This is where I realised Amelia’s actions weren’t okay. I knew it shouldn’t have felt okay for this to be happening, but I thought because me and Amelia had been friends for so long, it was an element of trust and friendship, not anything else, which also in hindsight and knowing all the information I do now, I really believe it had some sinister backgrounds.
She stated that she wanted to see if I liked her OF, to which I tried to deflect with saying ‘I don’t think paying for p*rn is ever on my to-do list haha’. She then gave me a free subscription. She told me “And like I’m only giving it to you lol so don’t tell anyone else because I don’t want them coming begging me for it free. It’s just because I like you a lot and I’m interested to get your feedback. 😂 xx” and “Ikr I’ve not done that for anyone else but you’re the sweetest person in the world and you’re like the ultimate lesbian boss so I feel like you’d be the perfect assessor xx 🥰” which ultimately made me feel special, and that I was given a perk because we were friends. This was grooming.
We then got to a paywall and ID check, which obviously because I was under 18, I couldn’t get through. So Amelia logged into my account, and authorised it for me. She helped a minor access OF. After this, we just ended up going back to our normal conversations, and I never looked at her OF again. She would continuously compliment me, calling me beautiful and saying she wished she could meet me. I once asked her about how much she made from OF, but that was the only time I brought it up independently. I thought we were friends and continued to be nice to her, saying if I passed my test I would drive up and see her, and things like that. However, on the 7th of June she asked me if I had ever made any nudes or OF content that she could see. I once again told her I was 17. She asked a few times, each time with me saying no. She then told me I could trust her, and that she would never tell anyone else, which immediately threw up red flags with me as this had been said to me before by a person of trust who took advantage. It was as this moment I realised I had been groomed by Amelia. I refused to send her anything once more, and then left her on seen.
We then had a few more normal conversations, but on the 6th of July I told her about how inappropriate it was to ask minors if they did onlyfans, and also how it made me feel uncomfortable. She undermined me, telling me that because I was 17 I wasn’t technically a minor, and that Scottish law is different from English law (I live in the UK). I knew she wasn’t going to believe me, and she just kept trying to make me feel as though it was my fault, so I left her on read.
This was up until I saw her denying ever dating Abbie, and I became angry. I called her out on it, to which she said it ‘was just easier so no one would assume anything sexual’. I tried to explain to her that no one believed her and there was proof of them both dating, but once again to no luck was Amelia being convinced of anything other than her own opinion.
I called her out on a few things after that, such as her repeat calls to 111, her usage of roblox as a therapy game, and that people aren’t being horrible to her because she’s transgender, they’re just being truthful about her actions, but once again she was having none of it, so I gave up. Throughout all of this, Amelia tried to make me feel as though I was in the wrong, I was being mean, or her actions were my fault. But I’m telling my story to show it wasn’t my fault. None of this should have happened.
