Is it when you've heard it before or is when lots of people repeat it?'"
According to an ex copper the BBC wheeled out this morning, who was asked why the Police seem so certain in the absence of a defendents version of events there's various ways they, or if JS were still alive the CPS, would satisfy themselves that there was a very strong case against.
In this instance it's number of people making allegations, whether other witnesses corroborate allegations, whether reports were made at the time of the incident that indicate it's not a recent fabrication and most tellingly whether there's a clear pattern/style of offending clearly described by a number of unconnected witnesses and victims.
