For those who are interested here is Andrew Gilligan's twitter feed
I recommend searching the page for "I see Mesmac's @PhilMitchell83 is denying having been warned by the police. Perhaps this might jog his memory..." then following the thread of tweets upwards from there.
I've copied and pasted Gilligan's tweets from 4th March below. Basically, SYP seem loath to spend their time on pursuing child abusers, but are happy to harass women exercising their right to free speech:
Accusations of sexual misconduct at the sexual health charity which allowed its staff to have sex with service users they met through work
The Charity Commission is in "ongoing engagement" with Mesmac after one of its former trustees was recently convicted of multiple counts of child sex abuse
Leeds council has referred two cases involving Mesmac to West Yorkshire police for investigation...police have not pursued the complaints but refused to tell me what investigation they did or whether they even contacted the complainants. WY Police work with and have funded Mesmac
In October, Mesmac's chief executive told me he was unaware of any case where a staff member had sex with a client. Yesterday, Mesmac admitted that there was at least one case.
As early as 2009 at least three Mesmac trustees, including the then chair, resigned "en bloc" because of their concern about its "unaccaptable" conduct policy and lack of professionalism, one of those who resigned says. (Mesmac denies they resigned over the conduct policy.)
Brian Mynott, a local therapist who works with abuse victims, says he has spoken to a further three people who claimed to have been sexually harassed or asked for sex by Mesmac staff when they went there for help.
