Tor has always been in and out of the news, sure, we all know that too well, but lately with the endless headlines of FBI! Child porn! Sex offenders! Gotta-catch-em-all! the media-hype-machine has all but cemented the idea that Tor = pedophiles into the minds of anyone who doesn't know better. These allegations about Jacob fit perfectly into that narrative. A cesspool for the sexually-deviant must have a sexually-deviant ring-leader, right?
And not to single out GCHQ- because I'm sure the following is a common tactic- but it matches their old-ass model of "InfoOps" or using "Online Covert Action" to "make something happen in the cyber or real world" with the "~*~*~*~4-D's~**~*": Deny/Disrupt/Degrade/Deceive.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but this sounds very much like what happened to Assange. It's possible that all the allegations are true. It's possible that an organization (maybe government) wants to destroy his reputation to discredit him. And we'll never know 100%. Whatever the case may be, I think gossip and speculation on the personal life of a former member is a little too off-topic, and the kind of thing that makes people take sides and tear communities apart.
