I can't remember John Leslie being charged, he attended a police station with his solicitor for a pre-arranged appointment. It appears that the story was leaked to the press by some one from the police. If a complaint is made the police are duty bound to invetigate, except if you and me are broken into, then they just give you a crime number over the phone
There was a solicitor on TV this morning who said after all this time he didn't think that he could receive a fair trial, it does seem funny to me that any woman would waite 13 years to report such a serious crime.
