Not that anyone has done so, but be careful what you say on here or elsewhere about the allegations . As there has been an arrest, the matter is subject to the Contempt of Court legislation







Key Rules Regarding Online Discussions of Arrests:
  • When Proceedings Become "Active": Legal proceedings are considered "active" the moment a suspect is arrested, a warrant is issued, or a summons is served. From this point forward, strict liability applies, meaning you can be in contempt regardless of whether you intended to prejudice the case.
  • What You Should Not Post/Discuss:
    • Speculation on Guilt: Expressing views on whether a person is guilty or innocent.
    • Previous Convictions: Mentioning a person's prior criminal record or "bad character".
    • Evidence/Witnesses: Discussing evidence that may or may not be heard in court, or details about witnesses.
    • Protected Identities: Naming or sharing images of victims in sexual offence cases, or identifying children involved as victims, witnesses, or defendants.
    • Ignoring Injunctions: Naming someone protected by a court order or, in some cases, identifying a defendant whose identity has been withheld by a judge.
  • The "Strict Liability" Rule: The law applies to everyone—not just journalists—meaning personal,, casual, or "banter-style" social media posts can lead to criminal charges, with potential penalties including unlimited fines or up to two years in prison.
  • "Reasonable Care" Defense: While ignorance is not a defense, you may not be guilty of contempt if, "having taken all reasonable care," you did not know and had no reason to suspect that proceedings were active.
  • Exceptions: Fair and accurate reports of court proceedings held in public, or good-faith discussions of public affairs where the risk of prejudice is purely incidental, are generally not considered contempt.

I'm not sure that we have the reach or following to be considered given that we are chatting in a largely private forum with about 20 active members...
