"...See moreThis is a short commentary that explains in particular how the "Operation Yewtree" scam worked and more generally how these dishonest trawling cases are used by venal police officers and prosecutors to destroy the lives of innocent men. "Operation Yewtree" was launched in the wake of allegations against the late Jimmy Savile, and took on a life of its own as ageing celebrities were arrested then told to prove they hadn't groped or rape demented females two, even four decades previously. In spite of the passage of time, many of the accusers were proven to be shameless liars, yet not one was prosecuted for perverting the course or justice, perjury, or any lesser offence. This is one of a number of videos on this subject written and produced by Alexander Baron including full length documentaries on the cases of Rolf Harris and Bill Cosby. Although the focus has been on celebrities, it is important for the viewer to realise that non-celebrities can be so victimised too, often in a less public way. Anyone who works with children, young offenders, women, or people who are not right in the head, is at risk. At times this can and has included women, perhaps most notoriously Kelly Michaels in the United States and the former Irish nun Norah Wall. Written by Alexander Baron See less
