Three jockeys (Brendan Powell, Richard Condon & Sean Mooney) face no action over rape claim

Our thanks to Alan for this. The start of the piece:

Three jockeys questioned by police on suspicion of the rape of an 18-year-old woman in Wiltshire last year will not face any action.

Brendan Powell Jr, Richard Condon and Sean Mooney are no longer under investigation by police.

The men had denied any wrongdoing following an alleged incident at a house in Swindon on 3 November 2016.

 

They had been released on police bail and were allowed to carry on riding competitively.

“Following a detailed investigation by Wiltshire Police, the Crown Prosecution Service has reviewed this case and has decided to close it as no further action,” a police spokesperson said.

We can but hope this is the beginning of the end for the CPS making charging decisions against men when evidence against them is non-existent, or close to it. The next stage would be to bring back anonymity for men (and women) accused of sexual offences, until and unless convicted. Then Alison Saunders should be fired.

  1. There should also be a register of false rape accusers. Needless to say, when this was mooted by a police officer some time ago (it’s on the web), the idea was attacked by feminist writers. One said: “If false accusations were common (err…they are!) it might be a good idea. But since they’re not, it’s not” Feminist logic in its finest. Even if one young man’s reputation and career were saved by such a register, surely, it would be worthwhile? And just think of what it might have saved in the recent case of one woman who falsely accused fifteen times. Such a register may have saved countless hours of police time, and the heartache of fourteen men.

  2. I hope it is the beginning of the end. But it is just the very beginning. There is a whole load of white knightery and feminist lobbying to go. Both the Police and CPS have to change behaviour and the first steps will be changed “Guidance” followed by training to correct the “training” already done. Its a long road of attention to the details.

    And the next potential head of the CPS should grilled on their views about women and the criminal justice system, to ensure we are getting someone who can do their job without being infected by feminism/chivalry. God forbid we get a “no women belong in prison” type candidate for example.
