Dan Wootton cleared of alleged criminal behaviour after six-month investigation

The broadcaster Dan Wootton has been cleared of alleged criminal behaviour
after the Metropolitan police decided to take no action after a six-month
investigation.

Last October, the Met said it was investigating a 40-year-old after the force
was handed a 28-page dossier in June by "journalists" at small online hard-
left Byline Times.

On Wednesday he said had been “completely cleared” after the Met and Police
Scotland told him that no further action would be taken.

In a statement issued through his lawyer, Wootton said he had been
subjected to a “politically motivated witch-hunt through the left wing and
social media”.

He said the accusations made against him “were completely spurious – lies
designed to destroy my career where complainants were actuated by malice”.


He said: “I have now been completely cleared in two investigations by the
Metropolitan and Scottish police, who have confirmed they will be taking no
further action.

“While I knew this would always be the outcome, the process is now the
punishment, with social media acting as the executioner.

well then

[Gusto Brunt]

And it probably didn't need a six-month investigation.

These inquiries are a waste of time.

Good luck to him.

His only crime was speaking the truth.

Didn’t he have a go fund me for his legal fees? Hopefully he’s not touched with a ten foot barge pole. He’s an awful human being and anyone that follows him is an awful human being.

reply to the "Byline Times" trying to style out their humiliating loss by Lady B of Belsize..

"How is it that you researched him for three years, in what now seems like a fully funded targetted take down, paid for by left wing extremist anti - establishment hate trolls, (from both the UK and US) yet when
that dossier is handed to police the outcome is - no evidence? What is there to be proud of, when all you did was sully whatever little journalistic integrity you may have had left. Your publication is still a hate-for-
hire enterprise despite your claims of shunning media oligarchs etc... and on that basis I do believe you should be shut down."

ouch

[bots]

there is no escaping he is scum, he has shown it over and over and over

His slippery looking lips doing all the talking.. what an absolute narcassitical tossbag. He makes me puke. Just the sight it. Then it speaks..

[Mystic Mock]

Now we just need the verdict on Christian Horner.

Guilty or not guilty? Time will tell, in the latest episode of Reality.

[Mystic Mock]

They had to,
at that time.

Tbf, every industry should be operating on an innocent until proven guilty system.
