In 2021 when Jonathan Hawker was falsely accused by lying schoolgirls, Starmer had not been DPP for seven years having been succeeded in 2013 by bent-DPP Alison Saunders.
A week after Saunders stepped down as head of the CPS in 2018, it was announced that the CPS had agreed to a five-figure settlement with broadcaster Paul Gambaccini, who was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree and bailed repeatedly for a year over unfounded sex charges before being told he would not be charged. Samuel Armstrong, a former Conservative MP's chief of staff who was acquitted of rape, said the settlement was a "damning indictment [that] should act as the final nail in the coffin for her hopes of a damehood. "Saunders' one-woman crusade to shift the scales of justice in sex cases not only ruined the lives of dozens of young men but of Paul Gambaccini as well."
