PLEASE RT: I want to say something about recent matters involving West Yorkshire Police, Norfolk Constabulary and me #transgender #harassment
On 2 October 2018 I attended the HQ of Norfolk Constabulary to give a statement in connection with allegations of harassment (1)
On 2 October 2018 I attended the HQ of Norfolk Constabulary to give a statement in connection with allegations of harassment (1)
I spent 5 hours providing a statement and evidence in connection with the well publicised allegations made by me to the Police concerning #transphobia. Norfolk Constabulary then liaised with West Yorkshire Police to decide how best to deal with this matter (2) #transgender
Following discussions between West Yorkshire Police and me I expressed my view that my preference was for the Police to take proportionate and swift action to make clear that #transgender #harassment was unacceptable. I made clear my preference was for a harassment warning (3)
At 11:09 BST Saturday 6 October 2018 West Yorkshire Police advised me that a 50 year old male in the Norfolk area was given a verbal harassment warning and advised as to his future conduct on social media. A record of this warning has been made on Police systems (4) #transgender
I now consider the alleged criminal aspect of this matter to have been resolved to my satisfaction. A #harassment warning is neither a conviction nor an admission of guilt, but can be used as evidence in any future prosecution #transgender #transphobia (5)
I wish to place on record my thanks to both Norfolk Constabulary and West Yorkshire Police for the swift and positive action taken by both forces. This has been a difficult week for me. #transphobia in any form is unacceptable. #transgender (6)
Now the Police matter has been resolved anything else is between the parties. Thank you to the #transgender community (and beyond) for your continued support. (END)
