Regarding Nora Wall the Wikipedia article...Hi Sean. Regarding Nora Wall the Wikipedia article on her includes the following:<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nora_Wall<br /><i>On 17 June [1999], a week after the rape convictions, Regina Walsh gave an interview to journalist Barry O'Keefe of The Star newspaper claiming that she had also been raped by a "black man in Leicester Square" in London.[12] This was news to Wall's defence team. Moreover, The Star published the names of Walsh and her "witness" Patricia Phelan for the first time. A Kilkenny businessman read the newspaper and recognised Phelan as the woman who had made a false rape allegation against him, and the defence came into possession of this evidence.</i><br /><br />There is also a very detailed article in the Jesuit quarterly review "Studies" in Winter 2006 about Nora Wall and her co-accused Pablo McCabe. I had actually suggested such an article to the editor of Studies in early 2006 and even suggested Breda O'Brien as a possible writer. However her article is NOT based on my work! <br />http://www.irishsalem.com/irish-controversies/the-passion-of%20nora-wall-1999/miscarriageofjustice-winter06.php<br /><br />I intend to do follow up articles to the present one - including one featuring false allegations in the UK specifically and I will keep your material in mind!Kilbarry1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16315245582069674422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524702757941791247.post-69535322066928884962017-10-15T00:11:52.726+01:002017-10-15T00:11:52.726+01:00Alexander Baron is a freelance researcher and jour...Alexander Baron is a freelance researcher and journalist who has looked into false accusations.

Is that why they revealed their identities?<br /><br />The young woman in the Galway case was brave to come forward. I remember at the time hearing a prominent liberal journalist, who was commenting on it on the radio, say with much disapproval that it would dissuade girls from making accusations. Perhaps I had misheard her but I really don't think so.<br /><br />You might find this interesting about Starmer: http://jimcannotfixthis.blogspot.ie/2014/02/rotting-from-head.html#!/2014/02/rotting-from-head.html . His amnesia about his grammar school is shared by Theresa May (according to Peter Hitchens). <br /><br />I notice that the British 1 in 4 website still says that 'as many as' one in four people suffer sexual abuse while the Irish one is still as confident that that is indeed the figure.<br /><br />Did you come across the David Bryant case in England? His accuser turned out to have a history of treatment for his inability to tell the truth. They had to accept that he was a fantasist when he claimed that, but for his ordeal, he would have made it onto the British Olympic boxing team!<br /><br />Another one would be the Mark Pearson case at Waterloo Station. He was found not guilty but they still took him to court to face the accusation that he had sexually abused an actress in her sixties as he walked past her in a crowded concourse with a bag in one hand and a rolled up newspaper in the other! She claimed that he had 'penetrated' her (cctv showed it took him half a second to walk past her) even though she was wearing a coat over a jacket over a light dress over ski pants following her yoga class.<br /><br />I doubt these are news to you of all people, but I mention them just in case. Thre is so much nonsense that I doubt if any one person can keep up.<br /><br />There was another case at Waterloo station where a two solicitors (at least one of whom was married) were arrested for sexual activity. The woman later alleged that the man had assaulted her (or 'abused' her) and apparently got lifelong anonymity by doing this.<br /><br />It is very hard to keep all this information in your head without getting completely befuddled. I must have read your accounts of the Nora Wall case five times now to try to commit it to memory.<br /><br />I don't know how you can bear that crowd on politics.ie.Sean Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771106855633991406noreply@blogger.com
