So the further abandonment of victims of sexual abuse crimes continues [The relevance to pizzagate is that this applies to children too.] : Scotland Yard abandons policy of automatically BELIEVING rape complainants as commissioner Cressida Dick says 'a clumsy misunderstanding is no police matter'
Scotland Yard is to abandon its policy of automatically believing victims as commissioner Cressida Dick said 'clumsy behaviour between somebody who fancies somebody else' was not a matter for police.
'Our default position is we are, of course, likely to believe you but we are investigators and we have to investigate.'
Isn't that what they are supposed to do anyway?
Guidelines that instructed officers to believe alleged victims automatically were put in place following revelations in 2011 that abuse accusations – including those made against Jimmy Savile – had not been properly investigated.
..
A spokeswoman from the Met Police confirmed there were a number of reviews into the force's practices that were ongoing.
Last week Miss Dick warned that social media posts using abusive language were driving children to commit violent crimes 'within minutes'.
It seems that the police intend to spend more time monitoring social media instead.
False rape allegations are rare – rape is not. Stop using the case of Jemma Beale to discredit all women https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/jemma-beale-woman-lie-about-rape-ten-years-in-prison-not-all-woman-liars-not-all-men-rapists-a7912766.html
A FOI request made about the police investigation of the Hampstead case: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/review_of_hampstead_christ_churc
I would like to know whether it is within a police offers jurisdiction to speak with a witness in a non professional capacity about a sexual abuse case, without it being recorded and without other officers being present?
I would further like to know whether interviewing officers are trained on how to conduct themselves with regards to body language when interviewing a potential rape victim.
The Father Of The Hampstead, Christ Church attending children in this case, has several businesses set up, which include high ranking members of The Church of England and MET Police. Surely this impedes on justice, considering the interviewing officer was from the MET police himself and also, The Church Of England also lay at the heart of this case, please review the following correspondence with the ecclesiastical society.
I would also like to know whether retractions are considered valid where two potential rape victims retracted testimony is not corroborative, whereas their original testimony was.
I would lastly like to know whether it is lawful for an officer to explicitly and knowingly lead a witness into reasoning that they themselves have not brought up first of all.
..Please further review why one Ricky Dearman was erasing internet records of his business, located at 88-90 Hatton Gardens, prior to "The Diamond Heist" which occurred there, wherein the thieves uncovered child pornography involving MPs?

Children never lie about the abuse, mature women - that's a whole different story.

The only women I know of who are lying about rape charges are the ones being paid to do so against political people. Aside from that, women have nothing to gain from lying about rape. Even leaving a non raping abuser is extremely dangerous without being around someone vicious enough to become a rapist. Speaking out is rare and most women aren't believed, so the only reason to speak out is if a certain amount of fear has been removed from the situation.

What about Lena Dunham?
Or mattress girl?
Both seem mental Ill so maybe that's another angle to consider- mentally unstable women who make up stories for attention, sympathy, or whatever.

OK, well I guess a mentally ill person could make up a rape charge, but at the same time, being a victim of rape can be traumatic and the abuser will call you mentally ill to cover up the crime. Vicious and slippery slopes we have there. I do not know anything about mattress girl and I've only heard of Lena Dunham but I don't know much about her besides that she's apparently not a very nice girl.

Right, children never lie about abuse, we don't need to hear your put down of abused women.

Here we go, disagree with me and you are insulting abused women. Congratulations, a win win assumption.

Well, whatever you think about mature women, this forum is concerned about children. I know that the police know that children do not lie about abuse.
