To Author of Like You I Am Finished... the first good news is that you and
I are far from finished. In my case, I'm just starting on a crusade to revive justice/ correct wrongs and shine a light on the perversion of truth that the laws on sex offences are currently encouraging. Secondly, I was horrified by your story and apologise for taking so long to reply... urgent letters are fastest via snail mail. But some urgent points for you to know. There can be no prosecutions if both parties were over 16 and any acts were consensual unless the case was brought within 12 months of the alleged offenses. This is a little known fact of law that enabled me to have the majority of the allegations against me thrown out. Regular visits imply consensuality. And though the police (well aware of the above) will try to force the ages down and make the offences earlier, if consensual activity is admitted by both parties and only the date is denied, prosecutions will be most unlikely. Add to this the vital ruling by the Lord Chief Justice Woolf on Feb llth 2003 (two weeks after my appeal was refused) in the Brian Selwyn case, these historic abuse allegation cases must NOT be prosecuted. Please make sure your lawyer is aware of these legal realities. Do not trust the police, who will be charming and sympathetic but whose sole interest is in gaining convictions. They will provide facts for "victims" to put into statements and, yes, the horrendous, emotive language ("grooming" - who do they think they are, Crufts?) is deliberately intended to influence jurors and judges against you. Do not trust lawyers, who are generally incompetent at best and corrupt at worst. Thank God for the exceptions that prove the rule (most of whom don't work on legal aid). But your main point is, I believe, not legal or judicial. It's the appalling destruction of genuine relationships by the combined influence of greed, jealousy, delusion, desire for attention and the media demonisation of sexual experiences. There's NOTHING wrong with sex. There's a LOT wrong with abuse. Hold your head up proud. If you really feel you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Believe me, the tide is turning. A huge minority has become as shocked by this witch hunt as by the slaughter of innocent Arabs in our name. Please contact me direct for any more help you need. And believe me, there are THOUSANDS of other victims of false allegations, being it complete fantasy (one man of my five convictions never even met me) or exaggeration and distortion, as seems to have happened in your case. I've now met dozens. Check out J'Accuse (the Observer coverage of the recent French paedophile case) and the Leicester City footballers result. It's out of control, all over the world. You're going through hell but there IS light at the end of the tunnel. JK |
