But never fear, Scotland Yard on the case as well. This is the same Scotland Yard who came so close to bringing serial rapist Leon Brittan to book. Or it was widely reported they were close to brining him to book. What got slightly less coverage was this report from the Independent on Sunday which revealed that they had exonerated Lord Brittan but reopened their investigation after political pressure was brought to bear on them. A CPS report into the allegation stated: “On the victim’s evidence alone there is no evidence that the suspect had asked the victim for sex, that he had demanded sex, that he had forced the victim to [lie] on the bed, neither did he ask her to remove her clothing”.
