Deputy Mike Higgins asked Len Norman (Home Affairs Minister) to "explain what actions, if any, the Jersey police are taking to encourage sexual abuse victims to come forward and place their trust in the police?".
Len was unable to give an appropriate answer and appeared to have difficulty in controlling his anger. He basically accused Mike Higgins of being a 'conspiracy theorist'. Are you trying to hide something, Len?
You seemed frustrated, as if it hit a nerve, when Mike dared to speak of this in public.
Len Norman, you could barely restrain yourself. Your response might raise doubts as to whether your intentions are to protect the guilty rather than protecting the innocent.
Possibly Mike Higgins didn't go "come and see me" (Len Norman) because he thought it might covered up..
When he told Mike to "get his facts from the people 'who know' what's going on", "come and see me", "come and see the police officers responsible" (and then a 'stutter') "for dealing with sexual offences".. DO you know what's "going on" Len Norman??? DO you know the "officers responsible" and DO you know HOW certain officers "Deal" with it???
My oh my... somebody could perceive his manner as someone who obstructs the truth and doesn't want transparency.. Calm yourself down, Leonard, you little bugger, you'll burst a blood vessel... we'll have to change your name to Leonard Rossiter at this rate...
Len Norman. Can you tell us why the "very strong welfare support" is available to officers that are accused of concealment, counselling and procuring of such, and why many victims are excluded from support?
You're not very helpful to victims of abuse, are you !!
Could the "62.5% increase in 'reported' sexual offences" have anything to do with the fact that uninvestigated and unconvicted abusers are still running free and possibly protected and assisted by authoritative figures?
Montford Tadier (also a good guy who fought for the abused) defended Mike and told Len that it was 'beneath him' to suggest that Mike is a conspiracy theorist.
