Just seen this .but sad to see it's still not over.

I'm delighted to have received notification from the CPS via Surrey Police that following my arrest in October 2022 and then again in April 2023, I will not be prosecuted for either malicious communications or harassment.

The CPS consider that the evidential test has not been met.

I am however still being sued for "misuse of private information" and I am very well aware that the complainant will inevitably exercise their right to review the CPS decision so I will say no more, at this stage.

Don’t suppose The Complainant (antagonist of the most rubbish John Grisham novel) is going to experience legal consequences for his behaviour this time? Karma will catch up with him one day, no doubt.

I thought one of the judges in one of his cases had pretty much said that he should stop.

It's pretty much vexatious litigation now (although IANAJ).

Women are arrested, or at the very least "visited" by police, for such "crimes" as placing ribbons, taking photographs of stickers, or saying thing's online which hurt people's feelings. Men post death threats etc, stand in the street and incite violence and it takes intervention from the Home Secretary, to get an arrest. A very long way from "getting people arrested" for disagreeing.

This is the wrong way to resolve our disagreements. I worry about a future where we can't disagree about things without having each other arrested.

Don’t suppose The Complainant (antagonist of the most rubbish John Grisham novel)

it just occurred to me I would actually read this novel as a black comedy. I wonder if Glinner has considered novels as a side hustle?

The punishment is the process of course. Such a ridiculous thing to arrest anyone for and to drag out for so long. And of course, I have no faith that the police wouldn't do the same again if another complaint came in from the serial complainant.

That is (mainly) good news. Hopefully having the CPS checking it twice will help Caroline in the other case.

Icake hush before he appears.

Funnily enough while reading the new 'lesbian nan' thread, it occurred to me we'd not heard from our copsplainer for ages. Then I thought he doesn't really show up except on....and now this!

Brilliant news for Caroline! Unfortunately, I agree she's wise to manage her expectations.

If the CPS decision is reviewed and upheld, then while bloody stressful for CF, won't it be a massive help to her regarding the civil action?

'Twice the CPS looked at the evidence and said there was no case to answer. Freedom of speech exists in this country. We are now entering the realms of harassment ...'

DarkDayforMN · 24/10/2023 15:25

Good for her. I hope the useful-idiot cop experiences consequences.

Good news. The process really is the punishment for women isn't it?
I noted she commented further:

"I can't access either my friends or @MumsnetTowers but thank you so much for all your support.
Apart from Felix"
