Police to reopen judge sex abuse case

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.

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