| Comment | I'm not speaking with any knowledge of this particular guy or case but...the Fiscal needs to authorise the release of someone's image for a police appeal and they will never allow it to be mentioned if the offence is sexual in nature. Their reasoning is that they fear vigilante attacks. So for example if I'm dealing with a sexual assault I'll be allowed to do a press release with CCTV images and mention the time, date and locus but only be allowed to call it an assault, not mention the sexual element.
That said, there could be a completely different reason in this case. |
