Well done to the Police Commissioner. And WTF to the journalist. These are not our crimes.

Ameliasvocalfry · 16/10/2024 18:16

@IwantToRetire you can email the editor [email protected]

IPSO ask for a copy of the email and details of the article. They also want your personal details before they will consider the complaint.

So much for the accuracy of crime statistics..

I think we all saw the big twist coming rather a long way off.

Like from Mars...😒

Is the paper signed up to IPSO?

If so use the complaint system

We consider complaints about the newspapers, magazines and digital news sites which are signed up to IPSO regulation

https://www.ipso.co.uk/making-a-complaint/

You need to go through the paper’s own complaints
procedure before IPSO will even look at this.

I knew what this would be before I read the first line

I think we all did.

Thank you @Justme56 , I hadn't read this before today.
That poor kid. Horrific attack, no wonder he was terrified. Then having to give evidence too 😞
The headline has fucked me off so much I emailed the editor of the rag that printed the lie, then contradicting their 'grabbing ' headline at the bottom. I even managed not to swear, go me 🤣🤣

My hopes and wishes go to the boy

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/10/2024 16:58

I'm sure there are stats on what proportion of readers bother to read right to the end of a piece....

Exactly.

The boy believed it was a family friend so obliged but soon realised he did not recognise her.

Christ. Did the kid think the man was a woman originally? Until he was closer?

Timefordrama · 16/10/2024 16:44

Matthew Barber is my PCC. I've emailed him asking if he is able to call it out again.

What’s the point in changing the most crucial piece of information in a news story right at the end of an article thereby contradicting your own headline? What a farce.

“In a free society we are, and should be, able to live our lives at liberty to describe ourselves however we like – providing it doesn’t affect other people. In cases of serious sexual offending when public protection is at stake the vast majority of people will rightly expect the criminal justice system to deal in facts and nothing more.

“The accused in this case, Osareen Omoruyi, is a 51 year old male.”

Bravo Matthew Barber Police Commissioner Thames Valley.

Good for Matthew Barber.

Oxford Mail, sort yourself out. This is offensive to the victim and to women. It's offensive to bloody everyone, actually.

NPET · 16/10/2024 15:04

That is an APPALLING bit of reporting.
All the way thru you're supposed to be thinking "omg, can women be as bad as men" (tho I did begin having my doubts), then you suddenly learn it was a man all along.
I suppose the Oxford Mail would say it was a good report because it made you think one thing before swiping the rug from beneath your feet. But that isn't what news reporting should be like.

Well done to Matthew Barber the Crime and Police Commissioner for telling the truth and stating that it matters - instead of defending the police effectively lying in crime reports and statistics.

What a brave man. Maybe this foul practice of recording mens’ crimes as women’s’ will finally be stopped ( unless the heinous GRCs that ought to be repealed make that illegal).
