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.
Same old story, who judges the judges?

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