Fightback by a head wrongly imprisoned I on abuse charges


A FORMER Ribble Valley head who was imprisoned on charges of child sex abuse which were later quashed has become a founder mem­ ber of a new organisa­ tion to fight miscar­


riages of justice. Father-of-five Mr Rory


O'Brien (58), who was head­ teacher at Stonyhurst Col­ lege's St Mary's Hall until arrested in October, 1998, and charged with indecent­ ly assaulting three former boy pupils, has become a committee member of FACT, the Campaign on Behalf of Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers. It is lobbying the Govern­


b y Julie F ran k lan d


licly clear their names." In line with his FACT


colleagues, Mr O'Brien believes in anonymity for suspects accused in "his­ toric" abuse cases and for the person making the alle­ gations to be accountable, — with the right to be chal­ lenged immediately in a "behind-closed-doors" sit­ ting of magistrates. Only if it is then decided


ment for changes in the way in which the law currently deals with bringing allega­ tions of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, made against those in such caring professions, to and through the courts., Explained Mr O'Brien:


that there is a valid case to answer should procedings be underkaken in the crown court. This, Mr O'Brien argues, will save taxpayers many millions of pounds, which he feels are currently being wasted on investiga­ tions which may "trawl” back years for evidence, and also lead to better care and protection for children. Said Mr O’Brien: "FACT


"Any adult could walk into any police station at any time and make an allega­ tion of childhood abuse against one of their former teachers. If still teaching, it will lead to that teacher's immediate suspension, effectively ending their career." -Details about that


you will always get people who maintain there is no smoke without fire. This is why changes have to be made to the law." Mr O'Brien, who has


taken early retirement and now fills-his time-not only—


with FACT work, but as a volunteer prison visitor mid in helping with the rehabili­ tation of offenders, has already met leading lawyers Baroness Shirley Williams and Formby MP Clare Curtis-Thomas to win sup­ port for the organisation’s


campaign. Added Mr O’Brien, who

is not-anti-police. It is not wanting to create a smoke­ screen arround paedophiles. We abhor all forms of child abuse, but we believe the pendulum has swung too far and that, instead of keeping a balanced and objective view, the trend is to assume the person mak­ ing the allegation, especial­ ly if it is a young person, has the right to automatic belief.

It was formed after 91 staff, who had worked at a local care home, were accused of various abuses against resi­ dents over a period dating back some years. Among the accused staff was for­ mer Southampton football manager Dave Jones, whose career was interrupted by charges that were thrown out in court. His family are FACT members.

disbelieved, hut it has to be borne in mind that especial­ ly in a care setting, there may be other motivating factors involved such as financial gain, 'revenge' and mental health problems. People's lives and those of their families can be ruined by false accusations. I t is very difficult to prove inno­ cence in situations when there are only two people - the accused and the accuser - who really know what went on. Yet justice still has to be seen to be done and, even if charges are dropped,


More manpower to give villages extra policing


THIEVES hoping for rich pickings at night in the villages of the Ribble Valley had better think


again. New 10-hour flexible


police shift systems which have been introduced will mean more manpower in marked cars to cover the rural areas at night. The new shifts involve

more than a dozen rural heat officers, most of them working out of the police houses where they live. The five-week shift pat­

Initially found guilty, he spent seven weeks in prison waiting for his appeal to be heard. His jail term included three nights in solitary confine­ ment in Pentonville Prison.

A NEIGHBOUR has given police a vivid description of a ram- raid in which a Clitheroe store lost its entire stock of mobile
