Many child abuse convictions unsafe (UK)
Dozens of men convicted of sexually assaulting
children years after the alleged offences may be victims of miscarriages of
justice, the country's most senior judge has warned. Lord Woolf, the Lord Chief Justice, said
child abuse allegations "were easy to make" and might be motivated
by claims for compensation
2001-1017 - House of Lords -
False Accusations of Child Abuse (UK)
Earl Howe rose to call attention to the damage caused to families by false
accusations of child abuse; and to move for Papers.
2001-1005 - Otago Daily
Times - Justice system
by Ian Landreth - This year I have
noted several cases where an alleged rapist has been cleared of any
wrong-doing. However, in each of these your newspaper has named the accused
before the verdict. This clearly goes against the principle of innocent until
proven guilty.
