Operation Yew Tree. A waste of time, money and lives.

A return. Not claimed to be a triumphal return, but a return never the less.

We re-invigor the publication of Fleastiff's blog with a summary of Operation YewTree, a London Metropolitan Police task force that targeted mainly elderly males who had a history of being prominent in the public eye.

Many of the men were held on police bail for long terms and then informed they would not be charged yet many men were held on police bail as the police sought out possible accusers for events alleged to have taken several decades ago.

Ofcourse it is difficult to defend oneself against a sexual molestation charge particularly when UK law allows victims of these "historic" sex offenses to file claims for damages and to talk to the media in order to bolster their cases and in order to receive further compensation claims.

At trial little credible evidence was admited and the unsequestered jury heard a great deal of publicity about Jimmy Saville's victims.

Earlier, when Operation Yew Tree had snared a man who after a year had been convicted of a fifteen second breast-groping incident it was suggested that if the MET is going to jail celebrities who've groped a woman's breast, the UK had better build much larger prisons.
