Thumbs up 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.

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

These inquiries are a waste of time.

Good luck to him.

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

His only crime was speaking the truth.

could be expected back on air at the

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.
