Police to reopen judge sex abuse case
"Police have been ordered to reconsider a case where a judge was accused of sexually abusing children, one as young as 18-months, after claims that they failed to properly investigate because he was a friend of the chief constable".
Sir Stephen Price Richards is "Judge X".
According to the Daily Telegraph: "The judge, who is only known as Judge X for legal reasons, has denied all allegations and claimed his ex-wife was trying to get back at him over their divorce".
According to wikipedia: "On Sunday 21 January 2007, the News of the World newspaper reported that Lord Justice Richards had been arrested by British Transport Police for allegedly exposing himself to a woman on a train in October 2006". The court acquitted him of the charges.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

This was rather akin to putting Paul Gadd in charge of vetting applications for jobs at a children's nursery....
