Insist Police IMPARTIALLY investigate ALL cases of alleged abuse & disclose ALL evidence

The Issue

INSIST THAT ALL POLICE OFFICERS CARRY OUT THOROUGH AND IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE, STOP NON-DISCLOSURE OF EVIDENCE & RESUME "DUE PROCESS" TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER INNOCENT FALSELY ACCUSED BEING CONVICTED AND SENT TO PRISON!

CPS’s Starmer/Saunders “believe the victim” has resulted in many innocent people being convicted of a crime they did not commit because the Police do not carry out a full and thorough impartial investigation to determine the truth in sexual and domestic abuse cases. Police are known to amend statements or falsify them to secure a conviction.   Police & CPS withhold vital evidence from the trial which could exonerate the innocent “suspect”. 

Police believe the accuser even if it is obvious that the story is bizarre, incredible, inconsistent, unreliable, changeable or erratic.  The “suspect” is branded “guilty” from the onset.  A Police investigation is therefore not deemed to be “necessary”.

At trial, the jurors base their verdict on the uncorroborated evidence given by the false accuser.  Any exculpatory evidence is removed before the trial.  The defendant therefore has nothing on which to base his defence.  The falsely accused is doomed.  A conviction follows with a long prison sentence.  On the one-sided evidence presented, the jurors find a man Guilty of a non-existent crime, and our failing UK Justice System allows this to happen! Numerous cases should not have even made it to the charging stage, let alone get to a trial!

With cuts in Legal Aid and poor legal representation, more and more people are being sentenced for a crime they did not commit, or that didn’t exist.  False accusers are coming up with stories for revenge, attention or financial gain of generous compensation from CICA.

There is no deterrent to stop the barrage of false accusers and nothing to stop them making more than one false accusation as in the case of Jemma Beale.  They are not prosecuted for lying under oath, perverting the course of justice or fraud – if they were – we could stop this injustice right now as false accusations would drop dramatically.  Every false accusation has an effect on the real victims of sexual or domestic abuse who deserve justice.  The effects of being false accused are harrowing and distressing not only to the falsely accused but to their families including their children and grandchildren.

Due Process has been abandoned as has the Presumption of Innocence and Innocent Until Proven Guilty.  With the non-disclosure of vital evidence this amounts to hundreds of innocent people receiving an Unsafe Conviction and an Unfair Trial which is against Article 6 of the Human Rights Act.

Some falsely accused of sexual or domestic abuse are forbidden to see their children and some commit suicide seeing no way out.

The Appeal Process is notoriously lengthy and is not legally possible unless the wrongly convicted produces “new” evidence.  Families of the wrongly convicted normally carry out their own investigation which can take several months or even years. Some hire private investigators.  Evidence that wasn’t used in the first trial is now put into the Appeal Process and an appeal is sometimes granted. 

The wrongly convicted is released from prison and a retrial is sometimes arranged.  The wrongly convicted can be exonerated on some cases or found Not Guilty. However, the false accusers still keep their compensation and anonymity, the wrongly convicted has not cleared his name and has to start again having spent most of his savings on defending himself, some selling their homes.

The cost to the taxpayers of each wrongly convicted prisoner is £43,000 pa and there are hundreds of wrongly convicted men currently in prison, some awaiting Appeals.  Add to this CICA compensation handed to the false accuser, and the cost to the taxpayers runs into £billions.

Men are just one false accusation away from a prison sentence!

WE WANT JUSTICE FOR THE INNOCENT WHETHER FALSELY ACCUSED OF DOMESTIC OR SEXUAL ABUSE AND THE FALSE ACCUSERS PROSECUTED!
