I have received a number of complaints about a man who has recently moved into the area. He has been spending time near to a local school when the children are leaving. A number of parents have expressed concern but I am unable to prove any specific offences. I have done some research and discover that in the past he has been subject of allegations of indecent assault; however these were not taken to court. Is there any action I can take?
Whilst the time limit for summary offences is a requirement that most officers are familiar with, PNLD are often asked for advice on matters arising from the time limit, such as methods of commencing proceedings correctly. In this article, PNLD Legal Adviser, Ruth Owen, provides a summary of some of the matters that PNLD are regularly asked to advise on relating to summary time limits.
