Last week, Mr Evans was found not guilty of various sex offences, yet he is now facing a £130,000 bill for legal costs. Despite reports to the contrary, he is not demanding that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) should pick up the tab. But he is determined to prevent other innocent people suffering the kind of ordeal he has endured. Top of his agenda is to arrange a meeting with Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, for a “little chat” about the new rules on legal aid. “Most MPs will have voted for these changes but I suspect they won’t have noticed some of the things that were being pushed through. I back reform of the system but I want to make sure that nobody suffers a miscarriage of justice because they don’t have access to funds.”
