Yesterday the Pitmans made a Press release exposing corruption within the Jersey Administration and Legal System.
Jersey is a microcosm of the same corrupt UK system and it is well worth studying how they operate in the small island of Jersey because the system is exactly the same.
Video interview with Deputy Shona and Trevor Pitman
PRESS RELEASE
Two
Members of Jersey’s Parliament have today called for the UK government –
which has overall responsibility to ensure ‘good governance’ in the
Channel Islands - to urgently investigate what they describe as the
‘spiralling evidence of the wide-spread breakdown of law within the
island’s justice system.’
Child Abuse Scandal
The
Deputies say that ‘justice in the island’ (which came under the global
spotlight with the unfolding of the ‘institutional’ child abuse scandal
in 2008) ‘is being betrayed by a mixture of top level incompetence,
corruption and intimidation. Much of this being a direct reaction from
those in the island’s Establishment desperate to bury any dissenting
opposition to getting to the truth about decades of child abuse
cover-ups.’
‘Far
from ensuring justice for the people of Jersey our Law Office has
become the tool of choice for the clique at the apex of power to try to
silence and, if necessary, drive from office or ruin those who dare
challenge the established order; or persist in fighting the cause of the
ever-growing number of people coming forward to complain of corruption;
whether relating to child abuse or abuse of the legal process.’
This
has already seen the former Chief of Police (the initiating officer of
the child abuse investigations), Mr. Graham Power QPM forced from office
by an illegal suspension that failed to result in any disciplinary
charges. It has also seen a former Health Minister, at the centre of
revelations about the abuse, ousted; and currently being silenced by a
blatant misuse of the Data Protection Law within ‘top secret’ Royal
Court hearings – all being paid for out of the tax coffers. Files and
records relating to children abused within the Jersey
care system have conveniently ‘gone missing’ from within both the
Police system and government departments. Evidenced cases against
abusers have inexplicably not been pursued by the island’s Law Office.
Banning of US Journalist
This manipulation of justice has even seen the contrived banning of a respected US
journalist, Leah McGrath Goodman, from the island once it became
apparent she was researching child abuse cover-ups and the island links
to Jimmy Savile. A ban only lifted following the intervention of UK MP John Hemming and an international petition campaign initiated by Deputy Trevor Pitman himself. Trevor Pitman
states that along with two other political ‘backbench’ colleagues the
number of complaints alleging corruption received from members of the
public has reached deeply disturbing proportions in recent months.
Legal System - Corruption
These
complaints have included alleged tampering with court transcripts;
destruction of and refusal to look at evidence; inconsistency in
sentencing; and even perjury and collusion between lawyers. The recently
leaked 'Barton Report' of a disciplinary hearing involving police at
the centre of the illegal bugging allegations in the ‘Drug Baron’ Curtis
Warren case even revealed claims of falsified and unsigned statements
being presented instead of original documents.
Yet
the Deputies say the cold, hard evidence of the justice system being in
desperate need of external investigation; and the depth of the
obstacles facing victims of the cover-ups was only brought home to them
after they pursued the island’s only, and hugely influential,
pro-establishment newspaper, the Jersey Evening Post to court for
defamation along with one of its millionaire clients. The newspaper and
its estate agent client Broadlands had mocked the couple after Trevor Pitman’s
election, falsely claiming they had increased their salary four-fold by
entering politics when in reality they had taken a drop in income of
thousands.
Jurat Supports Paedophile in Previous Job as Vice-Principle
‘It
was shocking enough given the evidence that we then found ourselves
losing the case,’ say the Deputies; ‘we subsequently then discovered
that the Senior Jurat (lay judge) John Le Breton had been allowed by the
Bailiff’s Office to sit in judgement of the case even though he was a
personal friend of the newspaper’s longest-serving Director; the two
regularly socialising together and even going to dinner at each other’s
home. All of this being evidenced’.
An
even bigger shock for the Deputies was the subsequent leaking of a
government suppressed report (the 1999 Sharp Report) into another
horrific child abuse scandal at the island’s Victoria College (an exclusive ‘fee-paying’ secondary school). The
report revealed that John Le Breton, as Vice Principle had refused to
look at evidence against a friend and colleague, the predatory
paedophile, Andrew Jervis-Dykes.
He
instead wrote in support of him claiming amongst other things that:
Jervis-Dykes had served the College in an ‘outstandingly competent and
conscientious way’; that unless police decided to prosecute, the abuse
would be seen as ‘an unsubstantiated allegation’. Le Breton even
appealed for the paedophile to be allowed to stay on at the school and
if he had to resign be allowed to do so with ‘some dignity’. Incredibly
Le Breton was put forward for the Jurat role by a politician who was
both on the College’s Board of Governors at the time and a former
president of the government’s Education Committee!’
The Deputies add, ‘when you bring this to the attention of the Chief Minister, Bailiff (Head of Judiciary and Legislature)
and Deputy Bailiff, where both Crown Officers just happen to also be
friends of the Jurat in question - you are told: ‘if you don’t like it –
appeal’. The Crown Officers
know full well, that the above information not only came to light after
our case and has implications far beyond this alone; but that it would
necessitate at least another £30,000: monies that most ordinary people
do not have.
Jurat
Le Breton was allowed to sit by two successive Bailiff’s for a period
of 14 years – including sitting on some child abuse cases until retiring
just after the Pitman’s’ case. ‘This demonstrates just how unfit for
purpose Jersey’s system of election and monitoring of Jurats is’, says
Deputy Shona Pitman, adding ‘how in the 21st
Century can Jurats be elected in secret by only politicians and lawyers
– many of whom will regularly be friends of those proposed?’
UK Justice Minister fails obligations of good governance
Yet
even with the backing of around a dozen equally appalled fellow
politicians and prominent justice campaigners, the Deputies say that the
injustice they have been dealt is as yet failing to be adequately dealt
with as it should by the UK
justice Ministry. ‘The evidence in our case is overwhelming,’ say the
Deputies, ‘just as it is in many other cases. Yet even when presented
with all of the details (as outlined above) and letters of support from
other concerned public figures, the excuse from Lord McNally has been
that as “Jersey has its own justice system we can’t really interfere’’
(see enclosed correspondence).
‘Most
absurd of all perhaps’, add the Deputies, ‘is that ‘the Justice
Minister instead offers to ‘forward our concerns’ to the Bailiff – the
very individual who has allowed all of this to happen! What this shows
is the deeply troubling attitude to justice from those holding power
within the justice system here and the UK Minister responsible for ‘good governance’ in a small and apparently ‘insignificant’ jurisdiction’.
‘At
the bottom line’, conclude the Deputies, ‘if these failings are allowed
to continue, if successive Bailiffs and other Crown Officers can allow
an individual who refused to look at evidence against a predatory
paedophile yet supported him – to sit as a Jurat for 14 years; including
on subsequent cases of abuse what hope, we ask, have the victims of
Jimmy Savile and the Haut de la Garenne child abuse scandal of getting
justice here? What hope has any ordinary citizen who rocks the
Establishment boat? The answer must be a resounding none. It is time the
UK government stepped up to the plate and fulfilled its obligations. Should they not do so then it can only be concluded that Westminster must be complicit in all of this.’ Full story: www.thebaldtruthjerseyblogspot.com

SENATOR STUART SYVRET
Stuart Syvret, a Jersey Senator, has campaigned tirelessly to protect the rights of children in Jersey and expose the paedophiles who are run Jersey's legal and administrative system.
Like every investigator and campaigner against VIP paedophiles Stuart was arrested on 6 April 2009, ten police officers went to Syvret's home, where they arrested him and carried out an extensive search of the property. Stuart Syvret was held in custody for seven hours and questioned about alleged breaches of Jersey data protection law and ------ wait for it a motoring offence.
On 18 June 2009, Syvret appeared before at the Magistrate's Court charged with driving without a valid licence between September 2006 and April 2008. The Police must have searched hard and long to come up with this serious charge.
On 9 July 2009, Syvret was charged with breaches of data protection laws
On 14 October 2010, Stuart Syvret was convicted by the Magistrate's Court of the motoring offences, when the Assistant Magistrate criticized the police as overreacting in the way they arrested Syvret. On 17 November 2010, the court found Syvret guilty of the data protection offences and guilty of contempt of court on account of his non-attendance and words of disrespect. Syvret was jailed for ten weeks, fined £4,200 and ordered to pay the prosecutions costs of £10,000.
HOW THE PAEDOPHILES DISCREDIT AND RUIN
This article shows how a paedophile run Government silences investigators and critics. They find some charge and make sure that a fair trial is impossible.
They encourage their victims to seek justice through a criminal and civil justice system which they are in total control off.
The sole purpose is to ruin their victims both financially and emotionally so that they will not longer be able to oppose the corrupt paedophile run government and Legal System.
These brave whistleblowers and campaigners must be protected by the public they risk and suffer so much to protect.
