That is an old story.....why have they regurgitated it again, not that I'm moaning about it but it's very odd.

Ah....i see it went to trial because i thought a while ago he was going to get away with it.

Actually kitte you were correct in thinking that he was going to get away with it because apparently charges were not brought by the Met at the time. This appears to be the professional body or tribunal taking the action. It's an interesting precedent. Even though he's more of a recognized expert than a certain celebrity bad parent who comes to mind, the good doctor apparently doesn't have the right connections. I particularly like the following quotation from the article:

... When the allegations first emerged, the Metropolitan Police travelled to Kenya in 2008 to investigate and interviewed A among other witnesses but no prosecution was brought. UK residents can be prosecuted for crimes against children abroad but only for those committed after May 2004. ...

"...U.K. residents can be prosecuted for crimes against children abroad but only for those committed after May 2004..."

Surely that includes the crime of leaving three children under the age of four unattended for several nights in May 2007.

............ if that actually happened.

Debatable I agree but, if it did happen, don't forget the three other wonderful sets of parents who admit to leaving their children unattended - two of whom were ill at the time!

If they thought that this was better than revealing what actually happened, we can only wonder how bad the reality was.
