Police advised to still automatically believe alleged abuse victims

Daily Mail  

Police are still being advised to automatically believe alleged abuse victims in new guidelines despite warnings from a senior judge in his review of the 'Nick the fantasist' case. Sir Richard Henriques, in his review of how police handled claims of VIP sex abuse from the fantasist Carl Beech, called for the instruction to be withdrawn because suspects are innocent until proven guilty. The new guidance comes despite warnings from retired judge Sir Richard Henriques, in his review of how police handled claims of VIP sex abuse from the fantasist Carl Beech Sir Richard criticised the decision to keep the guidance, telling The Times: 'They've learnt nothing at all from Nick. Beech's slurs were notoriously called 'credible and true' during a press conference outside New Scotland Yard Sir Richard said they then continued investigating his claims 'in a disordered and chaotic manner and littered with mistakes'.
