What we need are investigators who are prepared to go after the facts using good policework rather than CPS prosecutors who rely on trial by media to secure convictions.

There's an argument which goes along the lines of these matters need to be public in order to encourage other, potential victims to come forward. That's as may be but it also needs to be accepted that pursuing these matters in full public view may also be encouraging spurious claims to be made.
