Mr DT

Mr DT was convicted in December 2001 of indecent assault and attempted buggery. Mr DT received a sentence of seven years’ imprisonment and was required to comply with section 2 of the Sex Offenders Act 1997 (notification to police) indefinitely.

He appealed against the conviction but his appeal was dismissed. The CCRC received an application for review of the conviction in June 2007.

Having carried out a long and detailed investigation, the CCRC referred Mr DT’s convictions because it considered that various issues, including the non-disclosure of material that may have assisted his defence, raised a real possibility that the Court of Appeal would quash his convictions.

The CCRC referred the conviction in May 2012.

The Court of Appeal quashed two of the counts in March 2014 and upheld the convictions on the remaining counts.
