I still go on proper evidence rather than hearsay by just one person. All we have against DVD is exactly what we knew at the time, someone having a joke. He committed the "crime" of saying let's wind-up Joe a bit by flirting together. A bit of fun which Joe took seriously. But then that was only because Nasty Nicola had got to him before, spreading malicious gossip around the camp, which she did like a poisonous snake, turning Joe against him. She had been brooding over the fact that Joe had shown the decency to stand up for David when he was being bullied. The others were willing conspirators.
As for the "conspriracy" she spoke about with so much relish, the only one I actually saw and heard being created was the one by her when she behaved like a nasty school bully, trying to turn everyone against some poor individual by spreading lies, or at least half truths.
So glad he got further than her, and prove most people weren't naive enough to fall for her poison.
