Rotherham child-sex victim [alleged] confronts her alleged abuser in the street... but SHE is arrested by a van load of police

 

"A victim [sic] of Rotherham's child sex abuse scandal confronted a man she says groomed her - but was left shocked when she was the one arrested.

The woman was shocked when she saw the man walking through the town's centre on Friday [12/9/14] and decided to challenge him over the allegations.

But she was tackled by two police officers and pushed up against a wall during her 'thuggish' arrest, a witness has said."

"'The woman was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences."

'She was taken to Main Street Police Station where she was detained and later released on police bail.'"

The Issue

The victim [sic] has not been identified

*****

Clearly, the absence of a name, makes the date, and location, of any court appearance(s), difficult to ascertain; we required guidance.

On Saturday, 20th September, 2014, we contacted the police and were, ultimately, directed to a named,Team Leader, at South Yorkshire Police.

Following inquires, this person informed us, that, 'Division' were "not aware of an incident of Friday".

We also contacted the local court (23/9/14), but, they were not able to assist, in any way, without a written application.

Domestic abuse victim [complainant] 'doesn't feel safe' to seek help

"A woman who has suffered abuse at the hands of a family member says she does not feel safe to seek help because of the fear that her personal details will be released in court.

The teenager, who has refused to be named for fear of reprisals, said her life has been threatened if she speaks up. She said she is too scared to go to court to seek protection in case her address is revealed during those proceedings, or any subsequent appearances.

Her story emerges as a group of MPs demand that a "dangerous anomaly" in the court system, which Channel 4 News revealed in October is placing victims back in harm's way, be addressed."

Britain's courts 'endanger' domestic violence victims [complainants?]

"Victims of domestic abuse are being put back in harm's way by the courts, sometimes because of simple administrative errors. Campaigners now want a change in the law to give victims better protection."

Lawrence police smear claims: Cameron demands investigation

"Peter Francis, who says he says he posed as an anti-racism campaigner, served in the Met's now-disbanded Special Demonstration Squad.

Undercover officer Peter Francis says he was instructed to find information that could discredit the Lawrence family and anti-racism campaigners.

Scotland Yard has refused to confirm or deny the claims made in the Guardian.

Home Secretary Theresa May is expected to set out details of an inquiry into the allegations in the Commons later."

Policing 'Hippocratic Oath' will fix bent coppers, MPs hope

"Police need to be as trusted by the public as doctors, MPs have said, in a report calling for a major shake-up of standards.

The Commons' home affairs committee wants the introduction of a new code of ethics and integrity comparable to the Hippocratic Oath taken by doctors at the start of their career.

Its report, published today, called for unified policing standards, a register of interests for chief constables and a scale of fines established by the College of Policing in cases of grave misconduct."
