In today’s video instalment we take a trip down memory lane—it’s been almost two years since Rupert Quaintance was found guilty of stalking Hampstead families, and was sentenced to nine months in Wandworth Prison. We think it’s time to take a fair and balanced look back at the case which preoccupied us all while it…
Earlier today we published a post in error. We have since found out that had we allowed that post to remain on the blog, we would have been in contempt of court, so we have removed it. Unfortunately, this also removed a number of comments, and left some readers confused. We can only apologise for…
After a false start yesterday, Belinda McKenzie was convicted this morning on charges of contempt of court, and sentenced to six months imprisonment, suspended for two years. She also signed a written undertaking for life that she would not publish anything about the Hampstead matter, either online or off, and that she would remove all…
It’s that time of year again—after a wildly busy fall, the festive season is upon us, and we’re getting ready to spend time with family and friends. We hope all our readers will find time for quiet reflection in amongst the holiday cheer, and that you’ll find much to enjoy over the next couple of…
First, the day’s news from Sabine McNeill’s trial on four charges of stalking and 17 charges of violating a restraining order: there is no news. At 10:40 a.m., HHJ Sally Cahill QC sent the jury back to their deliberations, and at 4:15 p.m. she released them for the day. We fully expected that it would…
Following up on yesterday’s court proceedings, Miranda Moore QC continued with her cross-examination of Sabine McNeill. She turned to Sabine’s police interview on 11 January 2016, following her arrest for allegedly conspiring with Neelu Berry to commit witness intimidation. The interview was conducted by PC Betsy Davey, who informed Sabine that she had been arrested…
Yesterday we made a passing reference to Wilfred Wong, with whom Tom Dunn and Russ Dizdar met during their trip to Dundee last week. Dunn in particular waxed enthusiastic about the “amazing information” and “networking” achieved during their brief visit. As we mentioned on Sunday, Wong is very well-placed within the UK SRA-promoting community. A non-practising…
For the past several days, we’ve been doing the first full transcription of the “Jean-Clement Yaohirou audio”, which Abraham Christie’s brother-in-law recorded the night Abe, Ella, and the children returned from Morocco. During that trip, Abe and Ella had physically and mentally coerced the children to fabricate and repeat a story implicating their father, their…
Readers may recall Abraham Christie’s abortive attempt to start up a Twitter account in September. Tweeting the usual gibberish as @papahemp2, and using a hilariously awful photo of himself clad in traditional Bedouin garb, sitting in front of a symbol representing Bedouin pride, he was gazing intently at the pages of an out-of-date first-year-uni text…
Hands up, everybody here who remembers Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, the 1980s American televangelists whose “PTL Club” crashed and burned when Jim was convicted of fraud and covering up a payment of hush money to Jessica Hahn, a secretary whom he had allegedly raped? If you have no memory of Jim, you might recall…
