There’s this big rumor going around about David Jason and his past connections with this Gliding Club. It blew up on Twitter after some people started talking about some really dark stuff that happened involving a couple of guys, Derek Sear and Albert Tarnow, who apparently used Jason’s mansion to, like, do really bad things to young boys. Yeah, it’s wild.
Okay, here’s what went down. On September 17, 2024, someone on Twitter told people, “Hey, don’t google David Jason Gliding Club.” Of course, that just made people curious, so they started digging into his past. And guess what? Turns out two of Jason’s friends from the Gliding Club had been caught doing some pretty awful things with kids at his house. Like, how messed up is that?
People started freaking out on social media because a lot of them thought Jason might’ve died since he was trending. But nope, it was about this sketchy part of his past that no one really knew about. Some fans stood up for him, though, saying there wasn’t any proof that he was involved.
Still, police records from 1999 had Jason’s name tied to the case. He kept saying he didn’t know what was going on in his house. He even said, “I’m shocked and saddened by this case,” which makes it sound like he didn’t have a clue what his friends were doing.
Jason’s connection to the Gliding Club didn’t seem to hurt his career, though. He didn’t face any consequences, and Hollywood still loves him, which is kinda surprising. After the whole mess came out, one aviation club even banned him, but no one really knows if that’s true or not.
Apparently, these two guys, Sear and Tarnow, used their rep to trick teens into coming to Jason’s mansion, and they had been doing it since, like, 1973! One of the victims was only seven years old. That’s so horrible. Jason said he gave the keys to his friends while he was on holiday in Australia, and that’s when they did all this sick stuff.
Later, both Sear and Tarnow got convicted. Sear was hit with 29 charges, and Tarnow got 12. Now, people are saying Jason might’ve known about it all along. There’s even this Reddit post where someone said that when Jason dies, all the secrets about him will come out. Yikes.
