Fury as Briton accused of child rape flies home 

The British High Commissioner in Gambia is at the centre of a
diplomatic scandal after allowing a Briton charged with raping a
10-year-old girl to avoid a court trial. 

John MacKintosh, 63, was arrested near the capital, Banjul, on
16 May. 

The Gambian magistrate in charge of the case described the
senior British diplomat's intervention as 'arrogant and
contemptuous'. 

MacKintosh's Gambia-based British lawyer, Anne Rickinson,
confirmed the case had never been dropped but alleged the
magistrate had authorised the release of his passport - a claim
rejected by the magistrate.

 "Perceptions" note:

 It seems these cases are defensive action by elite pedophiles
 in UK - see "LaworJustice" - Google

 If recent actions are a guide, long-term plotting to deprive
 Customs & Excise of prosecuting power has been driven by the
 resentment of elite pedophiles - judges, diplomats, police-
 chiefs - at being caught by Customs when smuggling pedophile
 material in their baggage after returning from "sex-tourism'.

 Sex tourism is protected and condoned by those in high places
 in UK - see http://www.perceptions.couk.com/pervs17.txt
 and "laworjustice" links.
