Was this a politically motivated trial or done for other reasons, either way Mr lancel has been arrested,charged,prosecuted, held in custody, had to have lurid allegations made about him in a high profile trial etc. His reputation is intact but this experience will surely affect him and his friends and family for years to come.

Somebody needs to answer some serious questions about this farce.....!!!!

I agree what a farce and I feel for him, his family and friends in terms of the emotions of the trial/verdict and how they can move on.

I wonder what will happen about the accuser and apparently the only evidence they had was that Andrew Lancel had a poster of Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys on his wall when he was young! (This according to someone on DS).
