A student cleared of rape is suing police after they failed to disclose text messages that would have proved his innocence.

Liam Allan, 22, of south-east London, said he lived in a terrible limbo for two years on bail as police sat on 40,000 messages from his accuser, who alleged 12 sex attacks.

The case was thrown out last week when the texts, including requests for sex, were revealed, reports the Mirror (https://goo.gl/sDzEB5).

He had faced 20 years in jail if guilty.



Mr Allan, a criminology student, said he has no choice but to sue police and the Crown Prosecution Service, who have yet to offer an apology.

A judge at Croydon Crown Court called for an inquiry.

The Met is investigating after a new prosecutor found the messages.

Good. This kind of nonsense happens more than a lot people think it does (police withholding helpful info, or even creating false information to screw people)

But think of the actual victims of rape, what will we ever do if it becomes harder to convict men with no evidence?

You should never convict anyone without evidence
