A Public Hearing:

Graham Power;

Stuart Syvret;

Giving Evidence to the Sub-Panel:

Friday, 28th October, 11.00 a.m, the States building.

Some months ago, a Jersey parliamentary committee was established to examine how a major accountancy firm, BDO Alto, came to be engaged to “review” the financial management of the historic child abuse investigation in Jersey, but then undertook this “review” without interviewing – at all – the key, centrally involved person, former Senior Investigating Officer Lenny Harper.

The Sub-Panel is also examining a number of closely related issues – not least the nature of that “review” -and how it, and its subsequent presentation, was used by certain media outlets to falsely undermine the child abuse investigation and to attack its integrity.

That Sub-Panel will be hearing evidence - in public - from two witnesses, this Friday, 28thOctober, from 11.00 a.m, in the Blampied Room of the States building.

Those two witnesses are Graham Power, and me.

Mr. Power is giving evidence from 11.00 a.m, via live-link, and I will be giving evidence in person, once the Panel have concluded hearing Mr. Power.

These are the terms of reference of the Scrutiny Sub-Panel:

·         To examine the instructions under which BDO Alto was engaged to review the financial management of Operation Rectangle and their methods for gathering evidence for this review;


·         To clarify the connection between the BDO Alto review and the review on the same matter separately commissioned by the Acting Chief Officer of Police;


·         To identify the reasons why the Senior Investigating Officer for Operation Rectangle was not interviewed by BDO Alto and was not given the opportunity to respond to the report’s findings;


·         To clarify the liaison between BDO Alto and the Wiltshire Police, in particular the references in the BDO Alto report to the Senior Investigating Officer’s statements to Wiltshire Police;


·         To investigate how details of the review into the financial management of Operation Rectangle came to be published in a national newspaper in October 2009; and


·         To consider the implications of the Sub Panel’s findings.


Regular readers will be aware that former Police Chief Officer, Graham Power, Queens Police Medal, produced a 94 page statement as a submission to the Wiltshire police inquiry. Certain parts of that document are of direct and very significant relevance to the work of the Sub-Panel – and I imagine that evidence, and the issues that arise, will be the focus of the public hearing this Friday.

Certainly – for my part, being in possession of a copy of the report, I can say now there are a number of matters I will be addressing, that fall foursquare within the Sub-Panel’s terms of reference - and which are supported by the evidence of the document.

Additionally, there are other matters in my knowledge, which will form a part of my live evidence to the Sub-Panel.

This will be the Sub-Panel’s final live, evidential hearing before it concludes its report.

As the hearing is open to members of the public, I recommend attendance if you have time.

It promises to be most interesting.

Wow.I am surprised that you are being called as a witness.It should be interesting to hear what you can contribute to this sad busines.A chance to show your eloquence without a legal brain to interrupt your flow.
I will be there.

Stuart.

The sad thing is if Jersey's State Media were doing their job properly there might never had been any need for this Scrutiny Review at all.

The other sorry thing is that the State Media will all be there tomorrow and will publish/broadcast their version of what was said. When in reality they should be there in the capacity of "witnesses."

How long has Jon Gripton had hold of Graham Power's submission to Wiltshire?

You will go there, give your say, state evidence etc and nothing that supports your stance will be reported on.

When people who understand what has gone on try to explain to the JEP readers what it is about they will just be met with the same response. Stuart just want to xxxx the government or he is a nut job or he has his own agenda, or the simple not even listening approach because we know best having read the JEPs biased reporting side.

I hope there might be some change this time round but its about as likely as being struck by lightning in the war tunnels.

Nothing will come out of this in the public view until the mainstreem media are held to account for their allegiences.

I hope I am wrong.

The difference now is that people are saving copies of JEP reports and publishing online one day the JEP media etc will have to face up to their actions.

Will not be good enough to say we printed both sides of the argument as they did with the recent Cohen letters. It is clear local media ''State media'' follow a specific agenda.

Stuart, reading your previous entry, this part of the transcript, where you are speaking and are then interrupted, leapt out at me:

"Further to that end, I repeatedly sought disclosure from you of whichever third party or parties you've taken advice and guidance from during the course of the proceedings against me and during adjournments and so on and again you have refused to disclose that information, much like----

CROWN ADVOCATE: This must be a repeat.

DEFENDANT: -----much like you refused to disclose … well, it is a different argument if you don’t mind."

Can I just be clear about something; from what you were saying there, the judge has taken 'advice' or 'guidance' from some other person or persons during the course of the proceedings against you? Is that correct?

Yes.

That's correct.

My sources have even suggested the identities to me.

I've repeatedly asked her to declare the identity of any person she has taken advice or guidance from during the course of the whole proceedings against me; asked her on several occasions.

She's always simply refused to answer the question and confirm the identities.

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

As the BBC and Mr Gripton are in the news, I thought it might interest readers to see some of the questions that a few citizen media journalists are asking him.

Here are some of my questions:

"Whilst Mr. Gripton is answering such questions, could I also ask for an explanation of how, and why, former Senator Frank Walker - one of the key, perhaps even THE key figure in the Jersey Establishment Party, was permitted to have one hour's live broadcast time on the Sunday morning before Jersey's general election - during which he made a number of highly political and highly contentious remarks that will have influenced voters?

Why did the BBC abandon its electoral neutrality in that way?

Why was no countervailing non-oligarchy presence sought as balance?

Who took part in the internal BBC discussions as to whether this should happen and if it was appropriate?

Who requested, and / or lobbied on behalf of the appearance of Senator Walker?

Was any advice / suggestion / lobbying or instruction received from BBC sources outside of Jersey? If so, who were those BBC sources?

Does the BBC in Jersey consider itself bound by the Broadcasting Act and OFCOM?

Indeed, does the BBC in Jersey consider itself bound by the BBC Charter?

What governance and anti-corruption policies does the BBC have in place - as an organisation - to safeguard against - and to actively seek out - cases of bribery and corruption amongst its staff?

Are BBC staff - especially those in Jersey - required to keep a log of all occasions they meet with, are lobbied by, or speak with any person - e.g. politicians, spin-doctors, civil servants, lobbyists - who may have an interest in influencing BBC out-put and policy?

Are BBC Staff - especially those in Jersey - required to keep a log of any social gathering they attend at which people who may wish to influence BBC policy are present?

Are BBC staff - especially those in Jersey - required to not accept gifts, gratuities or any other form of benefit - directly or via third-parties - from those who may have an interest in influencing BBC output and policy?"

I'll keep readers informed of the answers.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the BBC pointing to the lack of formal party politics on Jersey in an attempt to sidestep accusations of bias.

On the mainland the BBC's definition of balance and impartiality seems to go no further than providing more or less equal coverage to the main parties at Westminster, or the national assemblies.

As party politics does not officially exist on Jersey, then BBC Jersey might argue it is not bound by the same considerations?

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

Graham Power's evidence to the Scrutiny Panel hearing today was very, very interesting, important - and very serious.

I spoke largely about the very clear - stark - breakdown in governance in respect of Jersey's public administration - the failure of all checks and balances.

In particular, I focused upon the obviously unlawful structure, and dysfunction of the Office of Attorney General. Jersey has no independent Director of Public Prosecutions; instead we have a London-appointed Attorney General who is the sole prosecutory authority in Jersey - but at the same time is the legal adviser to public-sector departments, the legal adviser to the cabinet, the legal adviser to individual Ministers, the legal adviser to the 'Privileges' Committee and the legal adviser to the legislature.

As I explained to the Panel, in the present system, the Attorney General might attend a Council of Ministers meeting, and give them legal advice - and also be providing detailed legal advice to an individual department - Health & Social Services, for example - and then, when back in his office, receive a report from the police stating that the Health & Social Services department should be prosecuted.

It's an unlawful system, obviously.

It's only by a traditional act of make-belive - that we've pretended hitherto that the system is functional and safe. It plainly is not.

When asked by the Panel for my opinion as to why the establishment had been so clearly motivated to oppress Mr. Power, I explained that the traditional Jersey establishment was terrified of Mr. Power and Mr. Harper.

Terrified of them both - like they've never been terrified of anything before.

The cause of that fear and loathing is quite clear; when Mr. Power and Mr Harper were in charge of policing in Jersey - it represented the first and only time in the 800 year history of Jersey - that the entrenched elite had lost the power to control and direct the policing function in Jersey according to their own political and personal interests.

Suddenly - for the first time in 800 years - policing in Jersey was being conducted on the basis of investigating and charging crimes objectively - as opposed to ignoring the crimes of the feudal barons and their vassals - and only prosecuting plebs.

This long-overdue arrival of fair, impartial policing meant that ordinary people would be protected - and a few oligarchs might get charged.

In panic, the oligarchy had to crush this development - hence their illegal oppression of Graham Power.

And I illustrated the manifest corruption and dangerous break-down in Jersey's prosecution function, with a few examples.

It is all related.

It is all one - obvious - problem.

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

In respect of the "nurse M" case - so far as I am aware, I remain subject to a court-order preventing me from naming him.

Yes - readers are quite correct - he has chosen to surrender the anonymity that the Attorney General pursued in respect of stopping me naming him by illegally repressing me.

But - that order remains in place - so even though everyone else under the sun knows who he is - and can see his case in the local media - and can discuss the case, I am prevented from reporting his name.

Therefore - if anyone wishes to refer to the case on this blog, they will have to use the phrase 'nurse M'.

Just read Friday's Guardian.

A great interview with Giles Frazer, the Canon chancellor of St. Paul's - who has resigned the post he loved, rather than embark down the path that's almost certain to lead to the violent removal of the peaceful protests.

He says, "I could not countenance the idea that we would have the sort of scenes had happened at Dale Farm, done in the name of the church on the steps of St. Paul's."

He goes on to say, "I mean, Jesus was very clear that the love of money is the root of all Evil....Jesus wants to point us to a bigger world than just shopping."

He says, "you know, St Paul was a tent-maker. I mean if you looked around and tried to recreate where Jesus would be born - for me,I could imagine Jesus being born in the camp."

Guardian Editor Alan Rusbridger writes of cannon Giles Frazier, 'There are tears in his eyes as he talks through his decision to depart St.Paul's, where he moved to two years ago after nine years as vicor of Putney.'

I'm not personally religious - but I like his person

What a great man.

I very rarely listen to BBC Jersey.

It is a corrupted organisation.

It was quite remarkable - very telling - ironically symbolistic - that during the Scrutiny Panel hearing yesterday morning - during stages of Graham Power's evidence - when he was saying some things of the utmost gravity - the BBC reporter was gazing vacantly at the ceiling and twiddling her hair.

How often do journalists get to listen to a former Chief of Police - giving live evidence about what was a politicised - criminal - suspension engaged in against him, and what was, essentially, a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice by the government?

I may only be an amateur - but that would seem, to me at least, a pretty important and gripping story?

Something you would expect the BBC to take an special interest in - given they've got a copy of the 94 page report. I know they have - because it was me who gave it to them. About a month ago.

They might report it one of these years.

Obviously, it's not as important as Barnicle, the seal-pup.

I can't be bothered to watch CTV myself, so don't know if the piece names him. In case it does, I run the risk of being arrested again if I name him on this site.

Hoverer, I think I shall sue the Health Minister and the Police, too.

By failing in their very, very clear - and stark - duties to have properly dealt with nurse M - investigate him properly - and have hims struck-off back in 1999 - they caused me to have to shoulder the unreasonable burden of protecting their public interest because of the gross failure of those two public authorities to do so.

And, hell - it isn't as though there's any shortage of evidence.

Oh well, they blocked my expert witness reports from being used in my defence in their prosecution against me - so I'll just have to use them in a civil case instead.

There is no equal access to law in Jersey. Those words should be translated into Latin and placed at the entrance of the Royal Court.

From personal experience I would say the Jersey establishment often gets away with its corruption simply because the victim simply can not take in the depth of the lawlessness and dishonesty which far surpasses anything one encounters in everyday life.

In effect much of the time they operate 'in plain sight',
relying on the layman's ignorance of the system and will attempt to bluff their way out of tight corners, even when the legal precedent flatly contradicts them.

In my case I remember legal aid lawyers saying 'You've got it wrong' or 'It doesn't work like that' but when I asked them to explain where I'd gone wrong they'd change the subject. In reality their organ grinders wanted our case kicked into the long grass so these lawyers were doing everything in their power to obstruct us.

Ultimately I had to take the case on as a litigant in person. They probably thought I would fail and at first was tolerated, but once I started having a little success the blocking tactics started.

In short the ordinary person who lacks influence with the right people must be willing to be far more bloody minded and pushy than should be the case if they are to have any hope of success in Jersey's bent courts. And even they will fail if you are upsetting the authorities.

I can identify with what Stuart is going through as I can see that he is getting the same treatment, and a lot more on top. I suspect many of his detractors are not served by the current states of affairs and in their hearts know it but suffer from the ostrich syndrome.

I hope Stuart takes his case on and wins. Hoewever I have my doubts, not because of the justness of his cause, but because Jersey's establishment or their mainland bosses will pull some dirty trick to block him. I think everyone knows what I am alluding to.

And to follow on from the previous: what happens to your case if you are not around to fight it? Will someone else take it up or will it be dropped?

Sorry to be so blunt but I am sure you have already given much thought to this.

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

Oh don't worry about that.

You're quite right in what you say. But the corruption of the Jersey Judaical system is becoming increasingly obvious to more and more people.

Yes - they "hide in plain sight".

Take my case - and let's consider one example. As is clear from various pieces of hard, documented evidence, certain police officers in Jersey have acted with gross incompetence, professional misconduct - or even criminality in some cases, over a period of years in failing to deal properly with child abuse cases.

That fact is generally backed by the affidavits of the former Police Chief and Deputy Police Chief, both of who were trying to weed-out the bad eggs.

Now, certain of those malfeasant officers were proactively involved in obstructing child abuse complaints, obstructing child abuse investigations, obstructing investigations into planning corruption - and - then - involved in the unlawful raid, arrest, searches etc - conducted against me.

OK, with me so far?

Right, the magistrate - Bridget Shaw - who had presided over the key, apparently and actually biased cases against me in court - was only sworn-in as a magistrate (by Phil Bailhache) in July 2008.

Up until that point, she was a prosecuting lawyer - working in the police department.

Do you see where this is going?

Now, although she's refused to actually name the individuals - it is recorded fact that she worked very closely and over a period of time - with some of those malfeasant police officers who were involved in things like suppressing the child abuse complaints - and repressing me.

Indeed - at least three of the said police officers were prosecution witnesses against me.

And Bridget Shaw was the judge.

And insisted on carrying on being the judge - even when challenged over these conflicts.

And even stopped me from cross-examining one of the malfeasant police officers in question.

Now, plebs like you and me are not supposed to notice, recognise - or understand - the fact that is "hiding in plain sight" there.

We're not supposed to see the 'elephant in the room'.

That plain fact - is that Bridget Shaw's conduct has been monstrously unlawful.

In abusing her judicial position against me - in a case in which she is so catastrophically conflicted - is to have committed the grossest of examples of misconduct in a public office.

The court proceedings she has presided over, involving me, have been a criminal enterprise.

And - most certainly - not even on the radar-screen of ECHR compliance.

Which is why we can safely regard the Jersey judicial apparatus as redundant for our purposes.

The final "Letter Before Claim" to the Justice Secretary is coming on nicely. It'll be off before Tuesday. So the button will be pushed, so to speak - regardless of how many months they imprison me for.

In fact - when checking and revising all of the evidential documents and legal cases - such as [2009] UKSC 9 On appeal from: [2008] EWCA Civ 1319 - I re-discovered a JEP clipping; it's of page 4, Wednesday 2nd December 2009.

A most interesting page, generally - in case anyone else might want to take a look at it.

Stuart

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

And yes - before anyone points it out - the Secretary of State won that case.

Or - at least - most of it.

A key point was lost by the Sec of State - and won by the plaintiffs - in the original case that was under appeal.

Namely that the Senechal of Sark could not meet the requirements of Article 6 of the ECHR, in a judicial capacity.

And when the reasons for coming to that conclusion - and looking at the ECtHR case-law referred - the Jersey judges who have heard cases involving me - judges like Bridget Shaw - are equally outside of the requirements of Article 6.

I am not publishing the comment (just as I haven't done with various similar comments in the past) because I, personally, have no first-hand knowledge of testimony from victims, or documentary evidence to support the particular, specific assertion.

To be clear - I'm prepared to do my public and journalistic duty in exposing wrongdoing by authorities and individuals - but before I do so, I personally need to be confident about the case and the evidence.

So, if anyone has actual evidence - or are prepared to make themselves known to me as a witness, I will consider publishing the story.

Has America Become an Oligarchy?

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

A reader says:

"What was the insult?"

The insult was the calculated blocking of me out of taking any part in the opening ceremony - and the usurpation of the event by the oligarchy - and their imposition into the center of the event, of Michael Birt and the latest Lieutenant Governor.

The involvement of those two oligarchs was engineered covertly, sprung only within the last week - with the evidenced involvement of a firm of spin-doctors - and designed to marginalise the grass-roots community involvement, and instead make the Town Park appear like some beneficente gift from our Lords and Masters.

When - in fact - people like Birt and his allies have rabidly opposed - done everything they possibly could - to obstruct the project and prevent it happening these last fifteen years.

Moreover, Michael Birt has corruptly abused his position over the years - to protect oligarchs - and malfeasant public sector departments in Jersey - from prosecution for crimes against ordinary people.

And Birt, and the Bailhache Brothers - have been proactively protected in their malfeasance over the years, by the Office of Lieutenant Governor.

I've opposed all of that corruption - and along with the rest of the grass-roots Town Park Group, spent a decade-and-a-half battling for the park - and today I was expected to turn-up - and bow before those two feudal oligarchs - and everything foul and lawless they represent.

It's regrettable I was hounded away from the event in that manner - I would have liked to have been there - but, sadly, that's the price of fighting the Jersey corruption.

Those oligarchs are responsible for the abuse and oppression of ordinary people - and I'm not bowing before them.

Instead, I walked around the park late tonight - and spoke to ordinary people and had a good time - and was very pleased to chat to some kids skateboarding (who were great kids, but already worried about the police driving around, looking a them.)

It was great to see and feel - on the Town Park's first night - the vibe, that sense of communal gravity and enjoyment.

Let's be thankful to the ordinary people of the Town Park Group who made it happen - and the ordinary people who enjoy it.

A pox on the oligarchs.

There was a picture of Syvret in the times of the fight for the park, and Toby Chiang (jumping on the band wagon, surprized at him), addressing Syvret as "the then Senator Stuart Syvret".

Getting very very sad and desperate.

I was at the opening ceremony. Although Mr Birt and the new LG were there, they did not, as far as I saw, take any part in it. Mike Jackson spoke most. Philip Ozouf and Alan "Ringbinder" Maclean were there too as were Jackie Hilton, Rob Duhamel, Kevin Lewis and Geoff Southern. New Deputy Richard Rondel was mingling with the crowds later on.

Before the dancing children and the pipers sprang into action, I was talking to Andrew le Quesne, who got a letter published in tonight's JEP which dissed you and Simon Crowcroft:

"I do not believe it was either Constable Crowcroft or then Senator Syvret who came up with the idea of a park - they merely hijacked it. I believe it was several local residents trying to find a way to block housing on the site"

Just a couple of minutes before 10am Andrew Le Q got a cheery call on his mobile from "Mr Rankine" but I was too polite to attempt to listen in.

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

Well, Andrew Le Quesne always was a dopey blustering halfwit.

If you are going to lie about something - at least carry out a rudimentary check beforehand - that the lie you are peddling is not exposed by the recorded facts.

There was zero plan to place any kind of park - at all - on that site - until I had the idea and proposed it.

The site adjacent to Jersey Gas was going to be a multi-story car-park; the part of the site abutting David Place was going to be an office-block.

Those who would now try and re-invent history - would be well-advised to bear in mind that, because this has been a pro-active, grass-roots community project - a full and detailed archive of the history of the whole campaign has been kept.

So the recorded facts - are the recorded facts.

Stuart

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

And - yes - the fact that people like Rob Duhamle - Andrew McLean - and Philip Ozouf - were there - is another part of the reason I did not attend.

Those three individuals strove - repeatedly - for years - to do all they possibly could - to destroy the project - wreck it - stop it happening at all - or ruining it.

Once again - the evidence is there - to be read and heard in the States debates.

That is one of the reasons I never naturally fitted-in - in the political environment; I could just never bring myself to be so shameless; to act like these people. I just could not stand there - and seek a PR opportunity in associating myself - with a project I had spent the last fifteen years - as a matter of public record - trying to destroy.

But, hey - that's Jersey politicians for you.

The government you deserve.

Jersey home dossier to reveal children were murdered...then burnt
Exclusive by Lucy Panton

A SHOCK secret police report into the Jersey House of Hell children's home reveals youngsters there WERE murdered then BURNED in a furnace to COVER UP the atrocities.

It's feared island authorities may try to hush up the dossier on Haut de la Garenne orphanage but a source told us: "Officers on this case are in NO DOUBT what went on."

Exclusive: Secret Police Dossier Reveals Horror of Jersey Hell Home.

All the Kiddie Killers Left were Burnt Bones and Teeth.

Innocent children WERE raped, murdered and their bodies then BURNT in a FURNACE at the Jersey House of Horrors, says a top-secret police report into the scandal.

News of the World investigation reveals cops have shocking new evidence of how the killings were COVERED UP at the Haut de la Garenne care home.

Our chilling revelations come as officers prepare to hand over their damning dossier from Britain's biggest ever child abuse probe to the island's States of Jersey authorities.

A total of 65 teeth and around 100 charred fragments of bones are all that remain of victims detectives believe were abused and killed before their tortured corpses were thrown into a fiery grave inside the house of hell.

But records of children who stayed at the home over past decades have been destroyed so police have an impossible task of putting names to their grim finds.

A source close to the four-month investigation told us: "There's NO doubt in the minds of the detectives on this case that children WERE murdered in the home.

"Officers believe they have compelling evidence that youngsters' bodies were burnt in the home's furnace then the remains swept into the soil floor in the cellars—the area that became dubbed ‘the torture rooms'.

Ripped

"The problem has been identifying the children that went missing over the years. No records were kept of who came and left that place.

"Kids were shipped to the home from all over the UK and were never heard of again.
"All the inquiry team have to go on is this grim collection of teeth and bone fragments and no names to match up to the remains.

"Because this investigation has seen so many twists and turns people seem to find it hard to accept that children WERE slaughtered and their deaths WERE covered up."

Most of the dental remains discovered have been identified as children's milk teeth. And we can reveal that among more than 100 bone fragments is a TIBIA from a child's leg and what police believe is an "intact" ADENOID bone from the ear of an infant.

These were all retrieved from a fingertip search of the four cellars in the Home's EAST WING.

Forensic teams also found STRANDS OF NYLON which they have concluded came from the head of a broom.

And, because those type of nylon brooms were only used in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the discovery helped officers to put a date on when the bones were swept into the soil floor.

Cops are now convinced that those charred bones and teeth were emptied from the bottom of the home's industrial furnace—located away in the West Wing—when it was ripped out around that time to install oil-fired central heating.

Officers have spoken to builders who worked on renovations at the home but have been unable to discover what happened to the furnace after that. But they have taken samples from the chimney breast which was left behind.

Around that same time wooden floorboards were laid OVER the old soil floor in the east wing.

And it is there, within the hidden torture chambers just inches below, that the bones, a pair of shackles and children's clothing were found.

Also in the underground rooms police discovered a large concrete bath with traces of blood. A builder has also given evidence that he was asked to dig two lime pits in the ground nearby around that period. Lime pits have often been used to destroy corpses.

Anonymous said...

So far 97 people have come forward to complain they were abused as children at Haut de la Garenne. Many have described being drugged, shackled, raped, flogged and held in a dark cellar for long periods.

Much of the clothing found at the scene is thought to date back to the 1960s and 1970s when youngsters had to make their own clothes and shoes in the care home work shop.

Cops now believe that whoever was responsible for removing the furnace KNEW that there were children's remains inside. And they think it was moved while disgraced headmaster Colin Tilbrook was in charge of the place.

Tilbrook, now dead, has been described by former charges as being behind "some of the most horrific abuse" at the home.

We can reveal that cops now plan to quiz one of his closest aides who is still alive and living in the UK.

Tilbrook, who ran the home in the 1960s, died aged 62 in 1988 after suffering a heart attack in a public swimming pool. His foster daughter Tina Blee, 38, recently made an emotional visit to Haut de la Garenne to meet abuse victims and bravely told how SHE was raped by the monster every week as a child, after he took her in following his departure from Jersey.

She said: "I needed to come here to say sorry for what he's done. If children were killed here I'm convinced he played a big part in it.

"He was more than capable of murder."

This week police began a forensic examination inside a nearby World War II German bunker which victims say was used as a base for abusing children.

Six witnesses say they were sexually assaulted by staff at the squat brick building which houses a network of underground rooms and passages.

As that work starts, police have closed the doors on their detailed forensic hunt inside the hell home.

Lack of records still hampers police. But we can reveal that one mainland authority, Birmingham City Council, has presented the Jersey force with a list of children who were sent to the home but went missing.

Although four have now been tracked down, after a mammoth search one still remains unaccounted for.

Earlier this year we also uncovered allegations that pictures of BABIES being raped were taken in the care home and circulated by an international child porn ring.

Stash

Experts suspect the home was responsible for many of the seedy network's 9,000 sick pictures, discovered in an infamous haul in Holland in the Nineties.

It was dubbed the Zandvoort stash, after the town where it was found—but the source studio was never uncovered.

Police said their latest intensive probe at Haut de la Garenne has produced more than 40 suspects.

Three men have already been charged with sex abuse offences as part of the inquiry. But now, despite the wealth of shocking detail uncovered by officers, there are fears the full truth about the House of Hell could be covered up yet again after the investigation boss, Jersey's tough No2 top cop Lenny Harper, retires next month.

Haut de la Garenne's abused former residents have repeatedly claimed that what happened was deliberately hushed up to avoid tarnishing Jersey's reputation as a family-friendly tourist haven and to give politicians in London no excuse to try to exercise more control over the island.

Although Jersey is part of the British Isles and under the Queen's rule, it has a separate government system and makes its own laws.

Jersey's 53-member parliament has no political parties and its politicians, judges, policemen and business leaders come from a small elite—often linked by friendship or family.

In a separate case recently investigators were frustrated by the island's legal authorities who refused to charge a couple accused of beating their foster children with cricket bats. Despite being told by lawyers and an honorary police officer who reviewed the case that there was sufficient evidence to go ahead, the charges were blocked at the 11th hour.

A police source said: "The argument for not charging this couple was that their natural children have said they're of good character.

"The detailed statements of all the people who claim they were physically assaulted seem to count for nothing."

The Haut de la Garenne file, along with several others, is now complete but is "being held up" by lawyers.

Our inside source added: "There's a strong suspicion that the files are being held on to until Lenny Harper goes and a new team is in place.

"No one will be surprised if the truth about what happened in the care home never surfaces and once more the evidence gets swept under the carpet."

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

To the commenter who writes concerning a named individual - it is not a question of what I may believe of not believe.

It's simply a case of maintaining a reasonable standard of confidence in what I publish.

The allegations in question could well be true. If they were, I wouldn't be surprised.

But the fact remains - I personally am not aware of any direct or indirect evidence.

Now, if someone wishes to contact me with evidence, then I'll consider it.

What Stuart ,does she mean by REPRESENTATION

represent is one of the lawyers more tricksy words,in this instance I would guess that Shaw meant re-presentation

ie; re-presenting the matter in a different way

In Stuarts case re-presentation clearly meant not presenting the facts at all!

Shaw did, however, concede him the planks with which he could walk

Here's but one quote from the posting.

"He also stated that the bones were in a good condition and he felt that they had sufficient collagen in them for C14 dating to be successful. He also stated that the bones were slightly burnt and that in his opinion this had occurred when the remains were still fresh and fleshed as no microbial activity was evident.”

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

Well, having just read The Rag's coverage of Friday's Scrutiny Hearing - I can now well understand why their reporter ran off, shortly after I began giving evidence.

If they were going to have to write such brazen distortions about Graham Power's evidence - they would have really struggled to disguise mine.

In essence, Jersey's only "newspaper" reports the hearing as though Mr. Power was saying 'the child abuse investigation was bad - but that wasn't only the fault of the police, it was also the fault of the rest of the States.'

Oh dear; - God help Jersey.

What - in fact, Mr Power was saying - was that the criticisms leveled by the rest of government in Jersey, against the child abuse investigation - was diversionary nonsense - because, obviously, by far the bigger concern - the real problem - was the child abuse itself - and the failures to stop that child abuse for decades. Mr. Power was saying that - in comparison to that gross and appalling failure by all the rest of Jersey's public administration - any criticisms of the SOJP under the leadership of him and Lenny Harper, were small and irrelevant.

That's what Mr. Power was saying:

The real scandal - the real - gross - failure - is by the rest of Jersey's public administration, which let the abuse occur for decades, and then covered it up.

And to think, some people accuse me of exaggerating when I point out what corrupt, gangster rag the Jersey Evening Post is.

I am really puzzled by the following paragraph....


Predominantly the human remains have been recovered from cellars 3, 4 and 5 which historically were one large classroom.
How and when could the cellars have
been one large classroom.Certainly not in my time in the fifties, and certainly not so in a very old photo which appears to have been taken early last century.

The police in their investigation must have obtained historical information as to the original structure and alterations made to the building.Is this collated information available anywhere.

A reader says:

"Ex ex Syvret?
I'm confused as an overseas Internet blogger what does this mean.
I know you were not elected but are you seriously going to be sent to jail?"

Yes.

The plain, evidenced fact - is the the enter repressive exercise conducted against me by Jersey's prosecution system - and what passes for a judiciary in Jersey - has been unlawful.

It continues to be unlawful.

And I don't mean 'unlawful' - in merely the civil sense, of being ultra vires.

I mean criminal.

The Jerseys oligarchy apparatus committed itself to this path - convinced itself that if only it carried on hitting me - with bigger and bigger sticks - sooner or later, they'd win.

Instead - what they've been doing is digging.

They put themselves in a hole - two and half years ago - and they've simply carried on digging - ever since.

Now - there in big - big - trouble.

Just take for example, the position Bridget Shaw is in.

Graham Power's statement to Wiltshire confirms and re-enforces certain serious issues - concerning the malfeasant conduct of some SOJP officers in respect of the concealment and failures in respect of child protection issues. Indeed - Mr Power was asked a question about a particular officer, by the Scrutiny Panel on Friday.

Bridget Shaw worked for quite some time - with the officer in question - and one or two others - before she was recruited and sworn-in as a magistrate - by Phil Bailhache - in July 2008.

She worked - as a prosecution lawyer for the police - for several years before then; for several years when - serious child protection issues and complaints were being covered-up by that team she worked in the heart of.

Oh dear.

Indeed - Shaw actually improperly stopped me from cross-examining one of the malfeasant officers in question when he appeared as a witness against me.

Double-oh-dear.

Look, you don't need to be lawyer to understand the gravity of this.

You don't even need me to explain it.

So yes - I'm going to be imprisoned by Bridget Shaw.

What other choice do they now have?

And I shall be comforting myself with the thought that not even the Jersey oligarchy could make it go on for years - and - on the other hand, all in good time, quite a number of them will be serving some years, during which they'll be able to reflect upon their corruptions.

For a good deal longer than me.

The Jersey authorities?

A de facto mafia.

Not even the FACAWS can carry on protecting them any more.

Nice work Rico.

It's amazing, but, you know, there are still a few of the Jersey oligarchy clowns who just don't "get it".

A few - of the thick, and especially corrupt - who just don't see that the game is up.

There has been a paradigm-shift.

The old, feudal oligarchy has choked upon its own hubris and obsolescence.

Today, they're confronted with the world wide web - with very senior, ethical police officers - and with volumes of documented evidence.

The more intelligent establishment loyalists have seen reality looming, and are already swimming away from the ship.

Only the big-time oligarchs - and a few fools - believe it can go on.

Assuming you win your case, what do you see happening to Magistrate Shaw?

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

In Jersey?

Nothing.

I won't win - I can't win - any case in Jersey.

Let's face it - I won the last cases - upon any objective consideration of the law - and the evidence. But - of course I didn't "win" them.

It is so evident now that the entire Jersey apparatus - the administration of justice in Jersey - is broken, dysfunctional and corrupted - there's scarcely any point in even discussing the subject any further.

But, even if I did win "the case" (whichever you're referring to) in Jersey - it would make not one atom of difference to these culpable public officials.

They and their friends ARE the system.

If, on the other hand - you're asking what happens when I win the cases in London - that might be a different question.

After all - the claim is that the so-called "law-enforcement" apparatus of Jersey does not work; does not work in any way that is compatible with the ECHR.

The Crown is responsible for that.

It claim is evidenced many times over. Not least - indeed - in the unlawful actions of Bridget Shaw herself.

So London will have to fix - and run externally for a couple of years, just like the Turks and Cacaos islands - the law-enforcement and justice apparatus.

What happens then - to the culpable individuals?

I guess that depends upon how much of a need the UK feels to show internationally that it is no hypocrite - and that it is tough on politically repressive judicial corruption - and the causes of politically repressive judicial corruption.

After all - British men and women are fighting and dying in certain places around the world - in the name of the democratic, objective, rule of law, and political freedom.
