The mum of an alleged victim of a paedophile has spoken out about his family’s fundraiser to help pay for his funeral after he died following a suicide attempt. Relatives set up a GoFundMe page to “Give James Urquhart the send-off he deserves”.
The mum – who is retaining her anonymity to protect her now adult son’s identity – said: “This is a guy who molested a young boy. I can hardly talk through the rage I’m feeling that they are asking people to contribute towards the funeral of a man who wrecked lives.”
Urquhart was facing historic sex assault charges against her son and another boy when he died after livestreaming his suicide bid on TikTok days before he was due in court.
