Lancashire Police Informer gets POLICE PROTECTION and allowed to harass an innocent family

The Issue

My life has been a living hell for 3 years. 

Lancashire Police have allowed a Police Informer (Police snitch) to continue a malicious hate campaign including death threats against MY family.  This snitch is from Skelmersdale.

They have protected the Police snitch from criminal prosecution.

Lancashire Police have even provided the snitch with confidential information about my family so the snitch can publish it on the internet to further continue his hate campaign.

Background: 
We sacked an employee in May 2013. 

This employee was a Police informer (snitch).  This was self confessed and confirmed by Police in a recorded telephone conversation as well as documented in official Court documents.

The snitch threatened to kill my wife and my children due to him being unhappy for being dismissed.  The dismissal was not related to him being a Police snitch.

Lancashire Police gave the snitch a harassment warning for this, they did not Investigate this properly as a crime of threats to kill.  The incident was witnessed by a number of people but Police dismissed this and, to this day, refused to take a statement from my wife, the actual person the snitch threatened to kill, saying the statement is not necessary.  My wife was distraught hearing a man threaten to kill her and our children but Police still have never taken a statement.

The snitch did not stop there though...he continued a disgruntled hate campaign against me and our business for months and months thereafter. He contacted our customers (which include schools, doctors and solicitors) sending malicious messages saying that I had a criminal record and ridiculous accusations that I spied on their computers without them knowing.

The snitch continued a course of conduct for months and months and Lancashire Police did nothing. The most distressing of all the things he did though was he posted worldwide on internet websites and anti-paedophile forums saying that I was a 'convicted paedophile'. He even named our children.

The police assured us they would do whatever possible to convict the ex-employee but said it wasn't their decision and that it was CPS's decision.

This backfired on Lancashire Police when in April 2014 the CPS gave Lancashire police the decision to charge. Lancashire Police then made us wait until June 2014, adding to our distress, before turning up at our house at 10.30pm one night to inform us they were going to take no further action against the ex-employee. We were understandably devastated!!


They then arrested ME without telling me what for, they pepper sprayed me, sat on my  chest and choked me. ( the non arresting officer even told the arresting officer to get off me).

They took me to Skelmersdale Police station where I was stripped completely naked. (Please see my other petition regarding this)

The following week Lancashire Police charged me with FOUR malicious charges in an attempt to discredit me.

They did this WITHOUT CPS advice.

They failed in their attempt the prosecute me and discredit my good name and I was acquitted of ALL charges in November 2014. One of the charges was for outing the Police Informer!

During the trial the ex-employee (who was one of the Police witnesses in court) again began maliciously posting on the internet saying I was a 'convicted paedophile'.

We logged a complaint with Lancashire Police, but they ignored us. My solicitor wrote to a Lancashire Superintendent TWICE, regarding this, but the Superintendent conveniently says he did not receive the letters!

I subsequently wrote to Lancashire Professional Standards Dept regularly for 6 months and was completely ignored. They would not deal with this complaint...and STILL have not to this day, but we are persistent and will not let them ignore it.

We have a solicitor dealing with the civil aspect of this, but Lancashire Police have acted criminally. They have perverted the course of justice and lied continuously for 3 years. They need to be held accountable.
