Kev Johns - Radio DJ Found Not Guilty 4 Years, 3 Months ago

Local radio DJ Kev Johns has seen his life and career catastrophically damaged by child abuse allegations, his lawyers said in a statement after he was found not guilty.

On Friday at Caernarfon Crown Court, a jury found Kevin Johns, 60, not guilty on two counts of indecent assault on a boy aged under 16 in Swansea in the 1980s.

Following his acquittal his legal team issued a statement which said that Mr Johns had been "sickened to the core" by the allegations which went "against everything that he stands for".

The statement said Johns, 60, had always denied the allegations which related to an alleged incident more than 30 years ago when Johns was in his 20s and in which he was accused of abusing a boy in his early teens.

It said: "Mr Johns would like to thank the jury for their careful deliberation of the evidence presented in this case. He would like to thank the Crown Courts in North Wales, as well as those in Swansea and Cardiff, for ensuring that justice was done, and seen to be done, in a fair and unbiased crucible.

"Thanks are given to his legal team headed by Counsel Mr Matthew Roberts and solicitor Matthew Murphy for their hard work.

"A special thanks must be given to the countless people who have supported Mr Johns, especially those who have provided witness evidence for him. The kind wishes he has received from across the community have kept him going through these darkest of months.

It’s good to hear that an innocent man has been found not guilty. The article doesn’t mention anything about evidence. Did the jury only have the claimant’s word against his word to work on? How can a verdict be sound if the evidence is weak or non-existent?

I know it is an unpopular view, but I would rather free a guilty man than jail an innocent one.
