Jonathan King has written to Tony Blair urging the government to allow anonymity for those accused of sex offences "this is the only crime where no evidence at all is needed to gain convictions" he says. "It's one persons word against anothers. No bodies, no DNA, no fingerprints, no witnesses. Publicity provokes further false allegations which are used to back up the initial lies." He begs Blair not to forget victims of false allegations who have already been wrongly convicted of the crime. "If everyone agrees it was unfair to damage people like Matthew Kelly, John Lesley and The Hamiltons over the past two years, how about those of us sent to jail before people realised the flaws in the law?" King is appealing his convictions to the European Court of Human Rights.
