These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
Own BBC names Christopher Harkins37 and Scotland dating-fraud/sexual-offence imprisonment; protected own documentary synopsis names Christopher Harkins/Scottish TinderPredator. That rare named-person conjunction supports bounded shared coverage across2024 and protected later-year reporting, without claiming identical media work or a dated follow-up. Keep BBC214000GBP and Facebook/Tinder only there; protected8200wan headline/documentary layer stays separate. No12-year term, Shannon identity/payment or documentary viewing is transferred. Original published group/member/version/link envelopes remain immutable; anonymous copies are not identified through this link or group overlap.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
