Apparently it's illegal to refuse a prisoner an interview with a researcher, author, etc. according to a Supreme Court ruling. If refused, prisoners should complain and must be given any paperwork related to the rejection within 3 days. How interesting.
Serco have refused permission for a journalist to visit Stephen in prison to interview him about False Memory Syndrome, which was a key area of his defence, "for security reasons". Permission will not be granted while he remains at HMP Ashfield.
How being acquitted of a false sexual allegation by a jury is being rendered almost meaningless:
▪️Charge is on your police record for life
▪️Revealed in enhanced DBS check
▪️You must declare arrest etc when travelling to USA & some other countries
▪️News reports remain online
@Tiffany44541244@rachel_maria65@Zigmanfreud@VeeSally@Barristerblog Very odd. Rachel_maria stated she thought you were a troll and said "Too much - te veel" - lost me completely. I think you write thoroughly and with great authority, Tiffany - thanks for your research and insight.
Mark Pendergast, a very liberal writer of 3 books related to repressed memory, has weighed in on the Ford allegations and concluded that her story is very consistent with a false memory which was largely created in therapy 30 years after the alleged event: https://t.co/vUaOguZFhY
@SupportStephenH@rachel_maria65@Zigmanfreud@VeeSally@Barristerblog It’s incredibly hypocritical to go on and on about all the work that’s been done to prevent “victims” (should be accusers) sexual history from being used against them while ramping up sexual history being used against “perpetrator” (should be accused) while removing all rights
@Tiffany44541244@rachel_maria65@Zigmanfreud@VeeSally So many people believe entirely in False Memory Syndrome - a TV crime show construct with no basis in reality. Stephen's expert witness, Dr Janet Boakes, was not permitted to testify, or to explain to the jury that FMS DOES NOT EXIST. https://t.co/ZTqdsZjmw7
Much has been said & written about the rehabilitation of criminals, but I can’t ever recall a serious discussion about the rehabilitation of people who have been falsely accused. Many have lost everything: reputation, career, home, savings, pensions, friends & even families.
@bbcsimonwarr Prosecuting someone who perverts the course of justice is no different from prosecuting any other crime. We don’t refuse to prosecute burglars or fraudsters because ‘it’s vindictive��.
