Due to space I have broken this down into 2 parts.
I feel it is time to write this letter to voice my concerns, after two years I am still suffering as a result of what I had to endure throughout these proceeding. The health issues I now suffer have had a direct effect on my life. I can no longer pursue the activities related to my small holding, that was my dream in Bulgaria, the ability to work the land and look after the animals, taken from me.
J.D. is my sister J.T. is my stepdaughter
This case concerned allegations of sexual abuse made against me, by J.T. and J.D.. I would like my feelings known about the manner in which this case was supposed to have been investigated, and to bring attention to the manner in which I was treated regarding my medical condition, whilst in custody at XXXX Police Station. From start to finish the case was conducted in a completely unprofessional manner and was a waste of mine and tax payers money. On the face of it this case went forward for prosecution with little or no investigation, and no evidence, and proceeded on the complainants statements alone. A cursory look at the written transcript of the statements made by the two complainants reveal a myriad of inconsistencies, and their witnesses statements at times contradicting the complainants, and if I could see these inconsistencies, why could the Police and the CPS not? There was no attempt at all to interview myself, the only evidence regarding these allegations that could be produced was mine, which disproved the allegations made against me, and at times put me in another part of the UK or in another Country to the complainants. This I find incredible, that a case can go forward for prosecution without any attempt to question the accused. This I would suggest assumes guilt, and left the onus on me to prove otherwise. There was no doubt that in the case of J.T.s allegations in the 1980s, that there was an investigation, yet no documentation from the Police, Social Services, from Humberside, Nottingham and Surrey could be produced. In fact right up to 16 July 2014 six months after having extradited me for prosecution the investigating officer was still trying to find some evidence to support the claims against me.
My brother, sister in law and mother were approached by the investigating officer, my Brother and Mother expressed the opinion that the allegations being made by J.D., were motivated by greed and the hope that she could get money by way of criminal compensation. J.D. has an enormous history of Theft and Fraud and this was one of the reasons why she was excluded from the family. This was related to the investigating officer. My family were asked about my whereabouts and were told I was living in Bulgaria, my brother stated that because of my heart condition, he would like to talk to me first. He did so, and I asked him to pass on my address, email address plus telephone number. At the same time I told him that I would arrange to fly back to the UK if required. My brother telephoned the investigating officer, with the details I had passed on to him. He was dealt with in an offhand way and told that the case was ongoing and could not be discussed. As a result the officer failed to gain any of the information he had. Some time later a European Arrest Warrant was issued against me. As the arrest warrant went through Fugitives Unit of the National Crime Agency. This gave me the status of Criminal and the impression given was that I was in hiding and on the run. Far from that, the investigating officer knew I was living in Bulgaria. There were other avenues that could have been taken to contact me. UK tax office and DWP Pensions both have my contact details. Bulgarian immigration and the British Embassy both have my details, I also have a Facebook Account, a quick Google of my name will throw up several press and Television articles on my life in Bulgaria. Not exactly rocket science, yet none of these avenues were investigated. It would seem that my details were obtained from the passport office when I applied for a new passport, a stupid move had I been on the run and hiding. So even at this stage it was possible to arrange to interview me, instead my guilt was assumed and this led to the issue of a European Arrest Warrant, my thoughts on that follow:
The European Arrest Warrant issued against me was for the prosecution of a total of 21 charges, only 3 of which would warrant extradition in the European Framework they were listed under. These were 3 charges of rape alleged by one J.T. that did fall under this criteria. This was signed off by District Judge XXXXX XXXX of the Magistrates Court XXXX. In my opinion these charges did not meet the criteria needed for a reasonable chance of prosecution. In that the CPS could not produce any evidence to back up these allegations. Despite numerous references from J.T. and her mother to interviews, Police, doctors examination and social security involvement, at the time of the initial investigation in the 1980s, all substantiated by, the complainant and other witnesses at the time. The fact that the complainant and other witnesses made statements to the fact that the complainant was still a Virgin at the time of the investigation in the 1980s.
Had I been interviewed it would have been revealed that the accusations by J.T. in the mid 1980s was an attempt by her, to stop her mother and myself getting back together. This came to light in the investigation during the 1980s, and was mentioned several times in J.T.s statement to the Police investigating this case. At the time J.T.was going through a rebellious stage and her mother could not control her. She, (J.T.) knew if we were back together the drugs and drinking she indulged in would stop and she would have to conform, and her freedom to do as she pleased would stop. The initial allegation made by J.T. in the 1980s was investigated and found to have no substance, this investigation was brought to the attention of the investigating officer, by J.D.. Then as if by magic the one accusation against me made in the 1980s by J.T. had jumped to 13 allegations. To me this appears to have been an attempt to throw enough charges at me in the hope that some would stick. I thank God that my Military and work records put me away from home at the time of the majority of these allegations.
