How can a man charged with rape not have his Passport taken off him and not placed on a no fly list?  This is a almighty screw up by the UK justice system.

It seems that bumbling idiocy is not the sole character of one country only and it's everywhere, even in a country that suppose to know better...

Maybe they don't know for sure that he's still here but they would know where he went from the UK at the time very easily.

Indeed, if he's clever he would have then moved on to another country and be living under the radar using some assumed identity.

 

There's almost a zero chance that he's clever due to the predicament that he's in.

 

They will likely revoke his passport and Thailand will kick him out the second they locate him, there will be no need to extradite in that case, he may be on overstay in which case it's immediate or his visa will be revoked and he will be on his way back to the UK before he knows where he is.

 

They don't bother with extradition in a lot of cases.

 

Thailand is one of the worst places someone should flee to while wanted for anything but maybe he came here due to the incredibly porous borders, you never know.

"She said the rape had set in motion a chain of events that would alter the course of her life taking her to the very depths of despair. She lost her friends, job, and self-esteem and gained nothing but the wish to end her life. She said it was little short of a miracle, that she was still alive."

 

This means absolutely nothing to me. This does not answer whether she was raped or not. This could be statement from delusional indivisual living in a fantasy world. Where are the facts and evidence - medical records, relationship beween man and woman, character assessments, time and place where the rape took place.

Innocent until proved guilty, being charged does not make you guilty.

That doesn't entirely make sense when applied to heinous crimes. In the case of a first-degree murder charge, for example, bail should be set very high if the subject is deemed a flight risk. Rape charges are often mishandled in practically any country. In this case he was not charged as a serial rapist, which is worse than a single incident.

A bit like killing a policeman on a motor bike and dragging his body for several yards, and then claiming it was somebody else "wot dun it", and then disappearing from the country?

Not every person charged with a crime has their passport taken away.  The person has to be considered a flight risk by the court for that.  And the type of crime is also taken into consideration.

You mean he entered Thailand, got stamped in, and then showed the UK Authorities that stamp? 555

No. I mean check flight computer records then Thai Immigration which is a phone call. Also bank records.

 

UK police ring Thai Police. They do have phones in Thailand.

 

All they need is a court order to check everything which is easy after a conviction of rape.

 

They contact banks check atm withdrawals overseas.
