Interesting lines include the following... The police chief continued: In particular I accept the following points: · The approach adopted in believing the complainant at the outset was wrong. · Insufficient attempts were made to test the credibility of the complainant. · While it was right that the allegations had to be investigated, the effect of the approach adopted was to unnecessarily prolong the length of the investigation. · It was wrong to have searched your property. 'For these failings by the Metropolitan Police Service, I would like to offer you now an unreserved apology.' It implies that arrest before investigation in historical abuse allegations is wrong, as are unjustified searches of properties. |
