what happened!!
As my readers are aware my writing has dried up, here
is the reason.
I am an adult male who lives in Great Britain. Last
October I was disturbed by a knock on the door and
found 6 policemen with a search warrant. There had
been a complaint (malicious) that one of my 16 year old
sons friends had seen illegal images of children on our
computer!!! We were arrested and our computers
seized for forensic examination. We were questioned
and released on bail. The following day the trouble
started with death threats and threats to damage our
property and selves. We had to move out. A friend of
mine went to our house to get some important
belongings and had his car stoned. There were then an
escalating series of offences against my family and
myself. My wife, who is more disabled than I am was
able to stay at a friends house whilst my son and I lived
in a touring caravan for three months. We were finally
rehoused in temporary accommodation at the start of
February and yesterday, 31st march I surrendered to
bail for the second time.
I received the welcome news that our computers had
been finally examined and the only pictures that could
fall foul of the law were of Gymnasts, some were a
series I had taken at a harvest supper talent night. They
were of a 14 year old Gymnast in a leotard!!!!!! If I had
previous form as a paedophile I could have been
charged for them.
Yes I kid you not. In Great Britain in the 21st century it
can be illegal to have images of a clothed girl on your
computer, I found it hard to believe. However as I had
no previous convictions for child porn the first part of
the nightmare is over for my family and I just have to
find long term housing.
I'm afraid this has to stand as a warning to other Brits
who read my stories. Do not have any images of
children that could be regarded as questionable. the
thought police are alive and active. For heavens sake
one of the photographs actually had the image of the
girl with our local vicar involved in the sketch they were
performing at the harvest supper.
To me it is an abomination that Great Britain has
become so politically correct that innocent clothed
images of a girl are deemed potentially illegal as level
one child pornography.
I hope that my writing will restart properly now but as
you can imagine my confidence has been dented
severely. The chapter I am posting had been written
before my arrest. all the best. Martinmac
