I think wires are getting crossed.
I think the 'him' and 'her' that are being referred to by anna is the Gasper lady, not kate mccann and the him is Dave Paynes?
That is what I thought which is why I asked. I think the woman in the Gasper thing did not know him very well but the McCanns did. They seemed to have been on holiday/ socialised together often and he was a friend of the family.
Paedophiles tend to be very cunning. I find it hard to believe that someone would talk openly about abusing/ abuse of a child in mixed company when they would know that it could be overheard. We have all been in situations where we hear something and then make our own assumptions about what the whole conversation was. I do think this may be the situation here.
I find it a little odd too. Not exactly something you go announcing at dinner parties I'd imagine

However, why would the Gaspars lie/exagerate over something so important?
I think that often statements etc are made a while after the event and you do look back and add significance to things that are perhaps not as significant as they were. Not so much exaggerating as just getting it a bit wrong down the line. Once they knew Madeleine had gone, it would have been easy to look back and try to put 2 and 2 together, much as people have done with the story from the beginning.

But still, she thought it was inappropriate and still let him bath her child. Senseless to me. Where were they bathing these kids anyway, i presume whoevers 'turn' it was, in their apartment? I just cant imagine letting my child go with a near enough stranger to be bathed, especially if i had concerns about him.
I am not sure Kate McCann did think it was inappropriate. I was not aware that she had raised concerns about this guy at all. I think it was the woman in the Gasper statement who had concerns. Has Kate McCann said this in the new book?
