"I've never heard their attentions ever dismissed as an "evil lust", at least, not until I read The Scottish News of the World over "MANAGER'S EVIL LUST FOR THE ROLLERS" on their front page. Tam Paton was described as a "sexual predator" (aren't we all?) as former band member Pat McGlynn "told" how Paton "tried to rape me at least FIVE TIMES". The thought of Pat McGlynn, innocently stepping into this hedonistic boy-band world at their offices in Heddon Street, (pictured on the cover of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album and a stone's throw from the 'meat rack' at Piccadilly, where rent boys hung out), to suffer endless parties and trips to gay clubs a wee bit hard to swallow. McGlynn claimed he had stabbed Paton after he had tried it on with him and extricated himself out of the band (incidentally at a time when the band's popularity was waning) and claimed he had been promised 짙40,000 by Paton "to keep my mouth shut". Enter The Scottish News of the World. An enormous colour picture of Paton, obese, balding, shadowed small pictures of a baby-faced Pat McGlynn. Everything the paper could've hoped for was captured in this picture of Paton, reinforcing the stereotype of a 'pervert'. In a more balanced piece in The Daily Record, Paton demonstrated no scars. What he received from S.N.O.T World will, of course, take longer to heal."
