New Student Denies Sexually Assaulting Two Young Women During Drunken Freshers Week

A new student at the UK's oldest catholic university sexually assaulted two young women minutes apart during drunken freshers week introductions, a court heard yesterday.

William Kelsey Harrison, 21, had only been at St. Mary's University, Twickenham a week when he followed a 19 year-old into her room and forced himself on her, the jury heard.

"He said: 'Don't be boring' and kept saying: 'You love it,' again and again," she told the Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court jury.

She said she did not want to go any further than kissing Harrison. "He was alright, a decent-looking lad, but he was forcing his tongue into my mouth and I closed my eyes and was shaking my head.

"He got on top of me and that's when I started to worry. He was kissing me down my neck and it was becoming forceful and he bit me and I flinched.

"He put two fingers into me and he is a lot stronger than me. He continued to the point I was flinching in pain.

"He started undoing his trousers and I unlocked the door and went out."

She admitted drinking five vodkas, five Jagerbomb shots and two alcopops that evening before ending up at the halls of residence in Waldegrave Road at 2.30am.

She was also new to St, Mary's and had spent her first week getting to know her fellow-students and was part of group that had invited Harrison to join them.

Prosecutor Mr. James Dawson told the court: "All the parties in this case had been drinking quite heavily and the first complainant had pre-drinks before going to the Student Union."

When she fled her room she told other students on the landing: "You've got to get rid of him," added the prosecutor. "It was plain she was very upset and very tearful."

Harrison returned to collect his coat and another female student, 20, went into the room to get it.

"He followed her in and put his hand over her mouth and started trying to kiss her and she resisted and said: 'What are you doing?'

"She pushed her way out of the room and now there were two very upset girls."

The police were called and officers arrested Harrison in his room.

When questioned he did not deny there was physical contact, insisting both young women were consensual.

Harrison, of Victoria Street, Littleport, Ely, Cambridgeshire has pleaded not guilty to one count of assault by penetration and one count of sexual assault on September 27, 2014.

Road-Rage Van Driver Used Vehicle As Weapon Against Cyclist

Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court

A road-rage driver, who reversed at speed towards a cyclist he had clipped with his wing mirror after colliding with the bike, received a suspended prison sentence yesterday.

John Graham, 39, was behind the wheel of his van, which came into contact with the cyclist, who thumped the vehicle's bonnet in temper as a result during an ugly confrontation three years ago.

Recorder Ann Mulligan told the father-of-two at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court: "You accelerated and drove over the bike and your wing mirror clipped his head.

"The cyclist says if he had not moved your van would have hit him.

"You drove off a considerable distance then reversed at speed and deliberately used your van as a weapon and it is a miracle this was not more serious."

Graham had used cocaine the day before the incident and now claims he no longer uses the drug.

He was sentenced to nine months imprisonment, suspended for eighteen months, and was ordered to pay 200 hours community service.

He must also pay £200 costs and a £100 victim surcharge.

Axe Charges Dropped Against Sisters Accused Of Targeting Family

L to R: Josephine & Barbara McFadyen

Two young sisters, accused of going to a rival family's home to attack them with an axe, had the charges against them dropped today.

Barbara McFadyen, 20, and Josephine McFadyen, 23, of Hounslow Road, Hanworth, Feltham, Middlesex appeared at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court.

They were accompanied by a large group of relatives.

The Crown Prosecution Service had no option but to offer no evidence when their witnesses failed to appear.

The sisters were both charged with aggravated burglary at an address in Starling Walk, Hampton on November 4, last year when after entering the property as trespassers they attempted to inflict grievous bodily harm upon multiple members of the Pender family while armed with an axe.

They each faced an alternative charge of attempted aggravated burglary.

Both sisters pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Punter Wanted For Bookies Wrecking Spree

An angry punter caused £6,000 worth of damage to a pair of gambling machines at an east London bookies.

Detectives investigating the criminal damage caused have issued CCTV footage of a man they wish to identify and speak to in connection with the incident.

On Wednesday, October 14, last year police were called at around 1.00pm to a report of criminal damage at Betfred Bookmakers in High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford.

As the suspect was playing a fixed odds terminal he became angry that he was not able to recover his losses and started to rock the machine.

When the machine did not dispense his money the suspect picked up a nearby stool from the shop floor and, using the base, smashed both the machine he was playing and the one adjacent.

The suspect then walked out of the shop and along the high street.

CCTV has captured the moment the machines were damaged.

The suspect is described as a white man in his late thirties, 5ft 6ins in height and wearing a grey blazer with black patches on the elbow and blue jeans.

Police are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise the man shown on CCTV.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the police non-emergency line on 101.

"Vicious" New Year Attack: Teenage Girl Hospitalised

Police are hunting a “vicious” New Year's thug, who left a young woman in critical condition hours into 2016.

Detectives have released this CCTV image of the man they want to speak with following the serious assault in Deptford, south-east London.

Police were called to a south London hospital at around 6.20am on Friday, January 1 after a woman had been brought to the hospital by family members.

Brit Denies Racist Outburst At Heathrow Passport Control

Bust Up: Heathrow Airport

A Rickmansworth chartered engineer, accused of racially abusing Border Force staff at Heathrow Airport during problems scanning his UK passport, appeared at Ealing Magistrates Court for the first time today.

Timothy Wynne-Jones, 53, of Beechcroft Avenue, Croxley Green indicated not guilty pleas and elected trial at Isleworth Crown Court, where he was bailed to appear on May 13.

He is accused of telling one female officer: “You're going to let all the terrorists into the country. I know your kind,” and telling fellow-passengers: “You're not British, you've got a Mickey Mouse passport. You're all terrorists.”

Wynne-Jones pleaded not guilty to two counts of racially aggravated harassment towards Border Force officers Raja and Yaqub at the airport on January 22.

Wynne-Jones is then said to attempt to push through the gate, but is prevented by Border Force staff.

They wanted to ensure his passport was not a forgery, but the defendant is accused of continuing: “Look. Terrorists protecting our border.

“There are far too many Indians protecting the border.”

Wynne-Jones is then accused of telling staff: It's not a border. You wouldn't know what one was.” 

"Arrogant" Christian Holidays Boss Sentenced For £26K 'Bible Lands Cruise' Fraud

A disgraced Christian-themed holidays travel agent, who secretly used £26,000 in 'Bible Lands Cruise' bookings on a disastrous Turkish hotel venture, received a suspended prison sentence yesterday.

Bob Fleming, 62, didn't use the fees he charged friends and long-standing customers to secure berths on the 'Thomson Spirit', but ploughed the money into his new pet project.

He lied to and encouraged his customers to fork out extra cash to extend their holiday to include a stay at the hotel he had leased and repaired.

Fleming, the boss of Living Sun Holidays, of Selwyn Road, New Malden denied, but was found guilty of two counts of fraudulent trading between January 1 and November 30, 2014.

He was sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment, suspended for two years.

He was also ordered to pay £15,000 costs in six months and banned from being a company director for ten years by Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court Judge Paul Dodgson.

"The world should be spared any possibility of you offending in that function," said the judge, who also fined Fleming's company Kyrilios Ltd £2,000 after it was convicted of engaging in misleading commercial practise.

He advertised the ten-day eastern Mediterranean cruise to his existing customers, which was due to begin in Turkey and conclude in Israel.

It would visit such historical destinations as the site of the Colossus of Rhodes; Byblos, Lebanon and the tour would also visit Jerusalem's Garden of Gethsemane.

The brochure claimed the cruise would include full-board, three meals a day, transfers and be led by Biblical experts Rev. Brian Fishel and Fleming himself.

Fleming, who was convicted of illegal trading in 2010 was told by the judge: "You are an arrogant man, who having had this warning decided you would conduct your affairs in the way you know best, regardless of anyone else's interests.

"You had had a number of successful holidays to the Middle-East and genuinely proposed a new one. 

"When it all started you were acting honestly, but you decided to invest in this hotel in Turkey and that was a disastrous decision and that's when your arrogance took over.

"You had the twenty-six thousand pounds your customers invested in this cruise……you sent it to Turkey because you knew best.

"You were inviting these friends and customers to invest in Turkey, little did they know that like it or not they had already done so.

"The arrogance snowballed when you realised the Turkey project was beyond redemption and you started telling some unpleasant lies."

The customers were never ATOL protected, but have been compensated by Fleming, who sold his £355,000 house and moved with his wife to a £250,000 flat in Cornwall.

"You abused the trust of your friends and customers and you know it," Judge Dodgson told him. "You told blatant lies to cover it up."

The judge said Fleming only compensated his customers to avoid prosecution.

"At this point you started talking about selling houses because you were hoping that by paying money you may persuade Kingston council not to prosecute you.

"You were trying to wriggle out of the situation you created and even now you don't accept you were dishonest.

"You leave this court as a convicted fraudster and your friends and customers will now know you were taking their money to put to your own purposes.

"When you encountered trouble you turned to crime."

One unhappy customer, 81 year-old Gospatric Home, who planned a break with wife Diana said: "It is a crazy saga. 

"The money we all paid was not held in an escrow account. If it had been, then he could have repaid it all to everyone."

Fleming told the court today: "I'm still shocked that a thirty-year career in travel has ended this way. It's hard to take."

He said he used £70,000 from his house sale to pay debts and compensation and would need a "number of years" to pay the £15,000 costs.

"I've had no income for two years, the company has no value. I was hoping to sell it, but it has zero goodwill."

Prosecutor Mr. Richard Hallam told the jury: "Mr. Fleming was a travel agent and tour operator, who for thirty years arranged holidays in the UK and abroad.

"His specialism was Christian holidays and he was the director of Kyrilios Ltd and Living Sun Ltd., which traded under the name Living Sun Holidays.

"There was improper use of customers funds who had booked the cruise and he carried on the businesses for a fraudulent purpose."

Fleming was investigated by Trading Standards from the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames after receiving a complaint on October 17, 2014.

There was already an existing complaint from tour operator Thomson about Fleming using their name on his brochures.

"Mr. Fleming presses Thomson again and again for a free place for himself and by the time of the cruise his business is on the verge of failing."

Trading Standards traced fifteen customers who paid £26,000 to Fleming. "They thought they were securing a berth on a cruise ship.

"He should have paid for the cruise with that twenty-six thousand, but he didn't.

"It was channeled to his other business, a hotel he had leased in Turkey and he asked his customers to stay in that hotel.

"He used the money to renovate that hotel. It is dishonest, but Mr. Fleming said he did not see it as fraudulent," added Mr. Hallam.

Customers started asking for refunds when the cruise itinerary was changed because of trouble in the Gaza strip.

"Refunds were chased, but there had been no protection in place in the eyes of the law and he had lied that flights were ATOL-covered."

"Mr. Fleming never paid or confirmed the bookings with Thomson.

"He had to invent reasons why there were delays in refunds, including blaming Thomson's trading standards investigation.

"He had no right whatsoever to plough the money into the hotel in Turkey and quite incredibly some customers were invited to loan money to the hotel.

"He misused and lost their money in the business venture and had to fabricate why he had to cancel a cruise he had never booked.

"Two weeks before the cruise Mr. Fleming purported to cancel the cruise on the basis of an unsatisfactory itinerary. The cruise went ahead."

When questioned by Trading Standards Fleming blamed the Gaza re-route for wrecking the cruise, but conceded he: "Screwed up."

"It all started to unravel," he explained. "Money just vanishes."

Despite his financial troubles the prosecution accept Fleming did eventually take care of customers.

"Refunds were made to some people many moths later," said Mr. Hallam.

Fleming told the jury no customer had been left out of pocket.

"There are no debts, no one's owed any money.

"Yes, we made mistakes, but did not intend to mislead, deceive or defraud people.

"I don't believe I am guilty of an offence."

Sports Coach Who Lives With His Parents Jailed For Webcam Sex Acts With 14 Year-Old Schoolgirl

A children's football and P.E coach, who encouraged a 14 year-old girl to perform webcam sex acts on herself with hot wax, clothes pegs and lipstick, received four years yesterday.

Philip William Boore, 36, told the teenager to address him as 'Sir' and play the role of a naughty schoolgirl submissive to his commands.

The qualified coach, who lives with his parents in Dover Street, Chippenham, Wiltshire, is attached to the town's award-winning Stanley Park Sports Ground and worked with five to eleven year-olds.

He was found guilty at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court of three counts of inciting the girl to engage in sexual activity on or before August 5, 2014.

He was cleared of possessing two indecent photos of a child, namely two topless images of the girl.

Boore was described by his lawyer Mr. Nicholas Bleaney as: "A lonely inadequate man with no history of relationships and a minimal sexual history.

"This man has been more idiotic than wicked," he said of the defendant who a probation officer assessed as a medium-risk of serious harm.

"You preyed on this child online and encouraged her to act in a way that was corrupt and depraved for your own sexual gratification," Judge Michael Hopmeier told the first-time offender.

He also made Boore subject to a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and he will be barred from working with children and must sign the sex offenders register indefinitely.

"You were the adult, she was the child. There was only one victim in this case, the child named in the counts.

"I find as a fact there was grooming in the areas of sexual activity you had a particular interest.

"You were employed as a school sports coach, working with children, at the time.

"The risk that your victim might have been a child must have been obvious to you, but you took that risk and continued." 

Prosecutor Mr. Martin Hooper told the court the sexually-active Wimbledon teenager responded to Boore online when he listed one of his interests as fetish sexual activity on the 'Omegle' website.

"They got chatting and the defendant got her involved in various sexual activities," he said. "There's no doubt about this.

"He instructed her to insert a lipstick tube into her vagina, to clip clothes pegs to her breasts and pour hot candle wax over her breasts."

They first chatted online for four hours and exchanged their names and phone numbers, with the girl lying to Boore and claiming to be sixteen years-old.

"She said the second time they spoke he said he was into BDSM (bondage and sadomasochism) which she thought was disgusting, but wanted to stay communicating with him.

"He said they would role-play with her as the naughty schoolgirl and him as the dominant," explained Mr. Hooper. "He'd be the teacher.

"He is a sports coach and works in schools and knows ages, uniforms and exam times.

"She could see him on her laptop screen and once noticed he had an erect penis when showing her some sex toys.

"He told her he was a teacher and that concerned her and she told her counsellor, who encouraged her to tell her mother and the police were contacted."

Boore was arrested on August 5, 2014 and taken to Melksham Police Station by officers who also seized his computer, mobile phone and sex toys.

He told police: "I can't say that I did take her age. She said she was at school and that could be up to eighteen years-old, I took her to be sixteen.

"I should have stopped, but I got over-excited."

Mr. Hooper told the jury: "He agreed knowing she was still at school, but given her interest in fetish and being sexually active he thought she was sixteen.

"He said he let himself down and should have made some checks and said he was shocked to find out she was two years below sixteen."

The girl told Boore she had not even started her GCSE's and she told police during a video interview his hand was motioning under the table as she played with herself.

As for the lipstick she said: "He told me to lick it and insert it," also telling officers about the clothes pegs: "He wanted me to do twenty, but I did two. It was painful and I couldn't sustain it."

She also poured hot candle wax on herself at his request. "I poured it on my chest. He wanted me to cover my nipples, which was quite painful."

Boore is a Football in the Community Coach, who has a Bsc degree in Bsc Sports & Exercise Science and hold coaching certificates for Football Level 2 and Cricket Level 2.

He also holds Level 1 certificates in hockey, rugby, badminton, tennis, emergency first aid, child protection and disabled football.

Couple Charged With Nicking £73K Of Stock From Boots Sentenced

Sentenced: Edem & Elizabeth Boni

A couple charged with stealing thousands of pounds worth of expensive beauty products from the Boots store where they worked have finally been sentenced.

They were said to have helped themselves to approximately £73,000 worth of cosmetics, perfume and aftershave from the large branch in Westfield Shopping Centre, Shepherd's Bush.

Both Edem Kofi Boni, 36, and Elizabeth Exonam Akosua Boni, 34, both of Tidworth House, Dog Kennel Hill Estate, Dulwich have now received suspended prison sentences.

Yesterday at Isleworth Crown Court Elizabeth received four months imprisonment, suspended for six months.

Edem had previously received a twenty-four month prison sentence, plus 240 hours community service work and was ordered to obey a curfew for three months, monitored by an electronic ankle tag.

Both were originally charged with theft by employee, namely stealing the beauty products between August 9, 2010 and November 19, 2012.

Elizabeth was also charged with fraud by false representation, namely dishonestly completing false documentation to a bank for a business loan purporting she was in full-time employment on August 23, 2011. 

Leg-Rubber Wanted For Late-Night Bus Grope

Police are hunting a bus passenger who rubbed a woman's leg for twenty minutes after sitting next to her on the late-night service.

Officers from the Roads and Transport Policing Command are appealing for help in identifying the man after the sexual assault in east London.

The incident occurred on October 12, last year at about 12.30am on a Route N8 bus travelling on Gales Gardens towards Bethnal Green.

The suspect sat next to the victim and repeatedly rubbed her leg, leaving her frightened and scared.

The suspect is described as a tall, white man, with light brown coloured hair.

He wore a dark coloured top and trousers.

Officers are releasing a CCTV image of the man and are asking anyone with any information to contact Detective Constable Teresa Moore on 07920 590261 or Crimestoppers anonymously 0800 555 111, quoting reference 194662.

Police Deal Blow To Pringle Stash

A drug-dealer's Pringle stash has been found by police near a children's playground in south-east London.

Part-time Special Constables were on patrol in Mulgrave Road at around 8.00pm on Tuesday, January 5.

They were supporting the Woolwich Dockyard Safer Neighbourhoods Team and, acting on local information, the officers came across the two hidden tubes stuffed with 15 bags of cannabis.

“We have deprived a drug dealer of their stash and made the area safer for the local community.

“I would urge anyone with any concerns about drug dealing in the area to get in contact with us."

Chief Inspector Darren Cox said: "We do not tolerate drug dealing and we will take every opportunity to deprive criminals of their illegal gains.

“At this stage no arrests have been made and enquiries are underway to identify those responsible."

Anyone with any information can call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Couple Sentenced For Running Illegal Care Agency

Saraspedy & Mahendrasing

A couple who ran an illegal multi-million pound care agency, which stopped looking after an 81 year-old widow - with tragic consequences - after it was closed-down, were sentenced yesterday.

Former Shell secretary Gloria Foster was left dying on her own for nine days after the company she was paying £2,000 per-month to - CareFirst 24 - were shut-down for using illegal workers.

The Mauritian-born husband and wife team of police chief's daughter Saraspedy Caussyram, 54, and her husband, nurse Mahendrasing Caussyram, 51, had a lucrative contract with Sutton Council that alone was worth £500,000.

In just two years the bank account of their illegal operation was swelled by payments totalling £2.65m, Croydon Crown Court heard.

Mr. Caussyram was sentenced to three years imprisonment and disqualified from being a company director for five years.

Mrs Caussyram received twelve months imprisonment, suspended for two years, and will have to complete 150 hours community service work.

A hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act will follow. 

The couple were both convicted unanimously by a jury of facilitating breaches of immigration law between January 1, 2011 and January 6, 2013 by engaging visa overstayers to work in the UK.

Mr. Caussyram alone was convicted of breaching immigration law between the same dates by engaging self-employed workers contrary to their visa restrictions.

Neglected: Gloria Foster

There were 54 mainly-Filipino students on their workforce, who were not legally entitled to work on a self-employed basis, and twelve of them should not even have been in the country.

None of them paid tax or National Insurance contributions.

The couple, of Burdon Lane, Sutton provided round the clock healthcare to the sick, disabled and elderly.

The police raid on January 15, 2013 meant Mrs Foster was abandoned in her ground-floor flat four miles away, where she had been seen four times a day by CareFirst 24 to be cleaned, dressed and fed.

She had dementia, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes and was found by a nurse nine days later suffering from dehydration, starvation and kidney failure - covered in her own faeces and soaked in urine.

Not Guilty: Omid Nabbey

Mrs Foster died on February 4 and an inquest ruled she died of 'natural causes contributed to by neglect' after hearing Surrey County Council, which had been informed of the names and addresses of vulnerable clients before the raid, failed to act in her case. 

Judge Peter Gower QC highlighted the advantages to the couple of having a self-employed workforce.

"No National Insurance contributions were payable, no sick pay, no holiday pay, no minimum wage, no travel expenses.

"Some twenty-four hour live-in workers were paid about half the minimum wage."

Prosecutor Mr. Andrew Evans told jury: "Their company employed overseas workers as self-employed contractors who worked as nurses and carers in order to service the company's lucrative private and public sector contracts.

"A significant number of these workers were working illegally beyond the terms and conditions of the visas that permitted them entry to the UK.

"The Caussyram's were responsible for ensuring those working under their remit were doing so legally. Instead they facilitated illegal working practises by continuing to allow them to work once their visas had expired"

Mrs Caussyram, a former midwife oversaw domestic care and Mr. Caussyram the nursing side of the business.

They were arrested after a Home Office investigation, which discovered the London Borough of Sutton paid their company half a million pounds for care provision between June 1, 2007 and January 13, 2013.  

The company's annual profits were between £123,585 and £393,793 and was run day-to-day with the assistance of Mauritian and Filipino managers.

"The rates of pay were not very good nor were the hours in particular instances. Some workers were live-in carers working twenty-four hours per day seven days a week," added Mr. Evans.

"There was a significant mark up in the rates charged to public sector clients when compared to the rates paid to carers"

Mr. Caussyram was described as "forceful" when insisting to his managers the work was lawful.

"The fact that tax was not paid on earnings was something foreseeable by the defendants as a consequence of the arrangements they put in place for their illegal workers," added Mr. Evans.  

CareFirst 24 provided services for Woking and Walton hospitals in Surrey, Surrey Primary Care Trust and Surrey County Council as well as Merton and Sutton councils.

"If local authorities had known that CareFirst 24 was providing services via carers not working lawfully in the UK…..those services would have been terminated and no further payment made."

The company was registered with regulator The Care Quality Commission, but the organisation was not told workers were all self-employed.

After their arrests the couple told investigators it was up to the company's management team to check the immigration status of the workers.

"There is clear compelling evidence that CareFirst 24 was engaging migrant workers on a self-employed basis in breach of their visas and or after their visas had expired.

"Equally clear is that the directors of CareFirst 24 undertook an active role in the recruitment of such workers and in controlling the company's position as regards the legality of their working on its behalf.

"CareFirst 24 provided Mr. and Mrs Caussyram with a significant income and it may be that for the exploitation of these overseas workers, who often worked long hours and were paid considerably less than the rates at which the services were charged, their income would not have been so great."

Their accountant, Omid Nabbey, 37, of Hartley Down, Purley - boss of Apple Payroll Solutions - who the prosecution claimed assisted the couple laundering their profits - was acquitted halfway through the trial. 

There is no suggestion of sub-standard care provided by their staff.

Female Nightclubber Punched Unconscious: Can You ID Suspect?

Police are hunting a nightclub thug, who punched a woman unconscious - splitting her lip - during an early hours attack.

The man police wish to speak with is described as between 25 and 30 years old, 5ft 8ins with short brown hair.

He was dressed in a black T-shirt and blue jeans.

Police are keen to hear from anyone who recognises the man or who witnessed the assault.

ASBO Accountant Convicted Again In Epic Parking And Planning Feud

ASBO Accountant: Gloucester-Trotman

A 77 year-old ASBO accountant involved in a bitter parking and access dispute, which he says claimed the life of his son and over £200,000 in legal bills, has been convicted yet again of breaking the order.

Roger Jocelyn Gloucester-Trotman, of Devon Road, Sutton and his late son Ian Trotman, who committed suicide aged 44, owned the service road behind a suburban parade of shops, where the defendant's accountancy business is based.

Planning permission was successfully won - despite local objections -  to build two three-storey townhouses at each end of the road and Gloucester-Trotman tried to stop neighbouring business owners using and parking there despite them having legal access rights.

Since February 2005 Gloucester-Trotman has continuously been convicted of breaching of ASBOs and restraining orders - around his home and business premises in Westmead Road, Carshalton.

He was convicted by a Croydon Crown Court jury of two counts of breaching an Anti-Social Behaviour Order.

The court heard he has clocked-up 27 convictions for similar offences.

His lawyer said: "Mr. Gloucester-Trotman's health seems to be deteriorating markedly.

"He can seem feisty at times, but he's not a man in good health.

"He seems to have become more frail."

The case was adjourned to consider the compilation of a psychiatric report.

The ASBO was made as a result of him continuing to complain to police about issues regarding his son's death, vehicle access and parking to the rear of his office and outside his home.

The dispute has also cost Gloucester-Trotman his professional reputation after he was struck-off by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in 2011, after they finally lost patience with his constant court appearances and ASBO breaches. 

Tragic: Disputed Alley

On May 28, 2010 his property-developer son was found dead inside a drain located in the disputed access road with an angle-grinder, petrol can and towels and a subsequent inquest found he killed himself by carbon monoxide poisoning. 

"He was driven to it by the police," said Gloucester-Trotman, after previously receiving a suspended prison sentence for another ASBO breach.

The development proved incredibly unpopular amongst local residents, who claimed their lives had been made a misery by the father and son's behaviour, their instillation of CCTV and declaring their own parking-free zone.

One neighbour reported Ian Trotman to police for criminal damage after her boiler flue, which was adjacent to the second development site, was vandalised and another 73 year-old resident claimed the son deliberately shovelled lumps of rubble against his legs, sending him crashing to the ground.

That resulted in a criminal trial, but even though Mr. Trotman was cleared of causing actual bodily harm his father says the stress of the prosecution, plus a civil dispute between his son and his ex - Sue Gloucester-Trotman -  caused unbearable stress.

The accountant's battle with his business neighbours concerning parking and access in the road ended up at Guildford County Court, which ruled against Gloucester-Trotman, costing him £200,000 in legal bills.

During the dispute he dug up the access road on Boxing Day, preventing any vehicles gaining access and parking.

Those incidents continued to occur from what Gloucester-Trotman saw as a lack of road traffic enforcement, forcing him to be distracted from his accountancy practice to ensure regulations at his home address and office were maintained.

The ASBO was made to prohibit Gloucester-Trotman abusing his neighbours, calling 999 except in an emergency and calling police to complain about car parking and the death of his son.

The order was made to protect three neighbours from harassment, but he has continued to abuse them in the street and regularly turn up at Sutton Police Station to make multiple complaints, at one point having six live cases before the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
