Leading Tory Nigel Evans arrested for rape and sexual assault


Recommended Posts

Are you suggesting the press should not have reported it?

 

I don't think the police should publish the names of the accused; an accused person should be afforded the same protection and anonymity as the accuser.

 

The accused could be the victim of a malicious accusation.

If he resigns the resultant by-election should be a shoe-in for the Cons:

 

2010 General election result for Ribble Valley

EVANS, Nigel Martin The Conservative Party Candidate 26,298

FOSTER, Paul Andrew The Labour Party Candidate 11,529

JOHNSON, Anthony Gordon 232

KNOX, Allan Mclean Liberal Democrats 10,732

RUSH, Stephen Peter UK Independence Party 3,496
