Well well well, here is the man himself, stating that the mere suspicion of child abuse should result in immediate reporting and further investigation - further to that he advocates that whilst that is going on children must be protected. Admirable and right, however he doesn't apply it to himself does he? No.
So here are the facts
- David Southall is under police investigation for an alleged assault on a child
- David Southall was interviewed under caution for over 7 hour by the police in relation to that offence in the Autumn of last year
- As I write, that file, after a lengthy police investigation, sits with the CPS awaiting charging decisions
- In Jan last year the law changed in relation to arrest and charge, prior to last year the police could arrest and bail the suspect and not have to disclose the evidence they had against them, today that does not apply, today the police have to disclose upon arrest, which is why they interview under caution without an arrest where possible, allowing them to keep their cards close to their chests.
So, applying David's own standards, should he be allowed near any child?
