How many Asian rapists received suspended jail sentences?
This is all a bit of a non story really and it should still be just that, no matter who the bloke was. It's the EDL connection that is obviously the core of this non story - so if they went to press just on that basis, I'm afraid they failed miserably.
Reading through the details, someone has made every effort to try to raise this story into a newsworthy item, such was their eagerness to inject some shock value into, they didn't realise it lacked the main ingredient required to do that, the sexual abuse of a minor angle.
What we have is a story about a not very clever 47 year old bloke who strikes up a platonic relationship with a 15 year old girl. On the surface of it a bit dodgy and in the current climate we live in, not very wise.
We don't know why this girl found this bloke interesting or entertaining, it maybe be that her home life was such a sack of shit, he was the only person to take her seriously and sympathise with her plight? ... we'll never know.
Anyway, so the situation in the girl's life reaches a point where she is willing to leave home, we don't know if he suggested taking her to his mother's or she just begged him to get her out of there? nevertheless she warned him he could be in danger from his association with her, yet jumps straight in a car and goes off with him.
Now we get to the bit which they try to make the story with, 'he lied to police saying he didn't know where she was' well I suppose lying is something most people have done at one time or another in their lives, especially when they've got themselves into a bigger load of shit than they ever intended and I'm sure we've all grabbed the shovel and dug ourselves a deeper hole too.
We are not told how long this 'lying his head off' went on for - not long it would appear as the girl was hardly 'hidden away' in his mother's house or being kept against her will.
Then we have the photo's on his phone. Now these weren't naked or lewd photo's they were, how was it put? 'in various stages of undress' no more specific than that. Well I could take my shoes and socks off, I'd be in a 'various stage of undress.'
There is nothing to suggest either that he actually took the photo's on his phone, young girls these days are very keen to strike provocative poses, snap some selfies on their phones and post them on their facebooks. The telling thing here is that he wasn't charged with anything to do with the photo's at all. Which of course suggests there was nothing to charge him with, because believe me if there had have been they'd have been all over him like a rash, as they probably did with his social media accounts and any PC equipment he had. It's interesting to note that studies of those obviously turned up nothing untoward.
The upshot was he was charged with abduction - but only by virtue of the fact that he refused to return the girl to her mother, at the girl's request. There was no evidence of sexual activity between the pair and certianly no evidence of forceful sexual abuse.
So there we have it, a more realistic account of events which would never have seen the light of day had it not been for the EDL connection, so if all the editor of the Grimsby Telegraph wanted was to fill some space, then he should have just come to me, I can make up better stories than his hacks, by some margin.
Just a little note to the OP, when you accuse someone of being a paedo, then make sure the facts back it up, it's a serious allegation and could land you in lots of trouble.
