Just reporting publicly stated facts. CPS obviously think they have the evidence for a conviction.

It's not to do with what you have personally posted and more to do with inviting some idiot to post unsubstantiated claims or opinions that could be seen to decrement the case.

He is in court on Monday, so therefore the case is sub judice.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial.

“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice those proceedings.”

Always amazes me that accusers have the benefit of anonymity, whilst the name of the accused is made public knowledge before he's been convicted of anything.

Wasn't talking about them. It's NSCer's opinions that are not appropriate to add to this thread. So far, only the fact that a prosecution is going ahead has been posted - and that's exactly where it must stop

 

[portlock seagull]

Always amazes me that something reported in main stream news, and subject to millions of comments thereafter worldwide, gets the NSC police jittery simply for commenting on this?!!

Cross wires, I thought you were commenting on opinions from SSN

Here are some more facts:

Greenwood was originally arrested in January this year on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman, before being further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill. He had been on bail since 2 February.

Janet Potter, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS North West, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised Greater Manchester police to charge Mason Greenwood, 21, with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
