It was the fault of the Police in falsely arresting him and fighting it. and being falsely imprisoned for 110 days.

And not the fault in any way of the CPS in first authorising the charges, opposing bail and the not offering any evidence.

Yep all the fault of the Police there.

Maybe with your vast and detailed knowledge of the requirements of the sex-offenders register you can tell the forum members of how the breach of conditions were not illegal in any way.

It was the fault of law enforcement agencies then hows that

Can you not see Derek cases like this do no good for the image of those upholding the law?

Yes this guy is dodgy and he should have been punished for the breach but while the wrong guy was locked up the guilty guy wasnt even being looked for (I guess as they thought they had him?)

Judge Penelope Belcher blamed the police too. I think she might see it as a whole. CPS and Police being the same.

I don't have vast and detailed knowledge of the requirements of the sex-offenders register.

Derek's logic is nick anyone and blame the CPS for authorising the charges, opposing bail and the not offering any evidence.

Yep I can see why the headlines look bad. It just annoys me that some of the usual suspects moan and whine about the Police being useless when there involvement stops well before it gets to court and have very little impact on whether he was held remand or not.

Eh?

From the article, and I freely admit it might not be the whole story, it appears as though the guy broke the terms of registration on the sex offenders register and was arrested before being charged, remanded and eventually the CPS decided to drop the case at court.

I apoligise I misread the first paragraph I thought he was arrested as a suspect for the assault he had already been done for that may teach me lol

Hope the woman and the families of the children he attacked were informed about his windfall, they should sue him for every penny

It would be nice if that once in a while you could be a little more even handed in your posts concerning the police Gary, surprisingly they "are" on our side.

Cps cock up here yet again and it is amazing how often they can completely cock up even the simple aspects allowing complete **** back on our streets and keeping the wrong people detained longer then they should. Right now a good start in reforming our CJS would be to completely do away with the current cps restart from scratch and hopefully get back some credibility with everyone not least the police who routinely see their work competely wasted and sidelined by cps prosecutors that make the stupidest mistakes in the simplest of cases.
