A Sandown man arrested following an alleged incident involving a teenage boy on board a bus has now been charged with a public order offence.
Kieran Percy, 38, of Fort Street, has been charged with using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
He has been bailed with conditions and is due to appear before the Isle of Wight Magistrates’ Court on 17th July.
Following a review of all available evidence, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has confirmed that Percy will face no further action in relation to the allegations of sexual assault and making threats to kill, for which he was originally arrested.
As previously reported by Island Echo, Police launched an investigation after reports that a teenage boy had been sexually touched while travelling on a bus on the Isle of Wight.
Whether innocent or guilty, after the way Hampshire Police acted over Henry Nowak, how can anyone hold them with any credibility? How can a judge or jury believe any report they make? The thought of them attending any incident and protecting us is terrifying. It’s a sad day that we cannot rely on our own police force to protect victims of crime.
What a pathetic comment . I bet if one of your family are being beaten up you call the police for help.
Does the truth frighten you? The truth is Henry Nowak was a victim and it ended badly. Hampshire Police did NOT help him. Quite the opposite. It seems your head in the sand is pathetic. Do you 100% think Hampshire police are 100% credible? Idiot.
I stand with you ! The fact Sarah watson is still missing from ventnor with no media coverage any time spent on this bus should of been spent looking for her ….what if it was your daughter ?
I have to agree that Hampshire Police are a disgrace and every decision should be scrutinised very closely. In this case they arrested the guy for an alleged ‘assault’ by touching a leg, and threats to kill, then drop it when an easier charge comes up which does beg the question ‘why arrest him in the first place if the evidence wasn’t investigated and found wanting? Nicking him for a public order offence will get him a £50 fine whereas the more serious crime should have been an imprisonment, but hey, any arrest is a good arrest in Starmers Army. It’s bad enough they screwed up the Henry case, they then arrest and charge a lad for throwing a traffic cone into the road, and he gets 2 years. It makes no sense at all.
Only he didn’t ‘just throw a traffic cone into the road’, did he? He was involved in a riot. He got what he deserved.
So beating up an emergency worker gets a small fine, or probation, Paedophiles get let off because they will suffer in prison or some such excuse, benefit fraud on a small scale gets a repayment order, Benefit fraud of millions get 5 years, Shoplifting £200 of stuff gets a repayment order, Drug/drink driving gets a 12 month ban but throwing a traffic cone (for that is what he did) gets 2 years, he wasn’t charged with rioting as far as I can see, but he got caught up in something his immaturity didn’t stop him from doing, no previous troubles, straight ‘A’ student in employment but no probation, or chance to learn the right way.. just lock him up and sod him… because he shouldn’t have been there! And they say right wingers are the issue lol.
And how can the police be expected to be judge and jury and not arrest someone when someone else calls themselves the victim, hmm?
How would you like them to uphold the rapidly moving laws? This one ^^ was easy; there’s CCTV.
A darned sight more credible than the alternative, methinks.
Oh right, you mean that the ‘victim’ in Henrys case was the murderer. He said he was racially abused and the police jumped on Henry, dragged him away from the wall, twisted his arms up his back which probably caused his death, and handcuffed him, rather than just lifting his jacket and seeing the stab wounds or listening to him saying he was stabbed.. oh no, ignore the true victim because someone said he was racially, or physically abused. The video you mention,, do you mean the bus video (which was available) or the public order issue? I dont see your point.
Certain clothing says alot about people, hoodies are not the
best advertisement.
Some shops and venues ban people from wearing hoodies
maybe Southern Vectis should ban people from wearing them
if the goods are up.
Strange but true.
What goods?
Sorry typo Hoods are up.
What a daft comment – I know plenty of people who wear hoodies and can refrain from committing crimes!
It is not daft that is why many places don’t allow them
with the hoods up. Google it and see for yourself.
I know not all persons wearing hoodies are numpties,
but many are, hence wearing them.
What are they trying to hide!
What are they trying to hide?
My body mostly.
Their faces.
Omg you really are a weirdo, a person can wear what they like it doesn’t mean they are a bad person, tracksuits are the in thing and not cheap to buy didn’t you know that?? As for Google it get a life, you really are a stupid person if you actually believe what someone wears makes them a bad person?? Get something else to do as your comments are now so boring!!
Ditto, especially the boring part
Another Numpty
bless
Were you born stupid!
Or course not all people who buy tracksuits are bad persons
But you don’t wear the hood up in shops or on public transport.
Look in the Big Smoke persons on scooters with hoods up
are stealing phones etc
I imagine you have lived a sheltered life on the island,
you need to get out more and see for yourself.
Tattoos are the same in prisons etc, some use them as
gang markings.
Some people have a lot to learn.
So you go to a bank and withdraw money with your
hood on!. I doubt it very much.
No I was not born stupid you absolute asshole. What that’s got to to do with this subject anyway? If I want to wear a track suit or whatever as with anyone else because they are sooo comfy it’s against your human rights
to be told you can’t! If it’s raining most people have their hoods up it’s personal choice.
you obviously need to get a life outside of your putting people down, winging, criticising comments, and being rude!
You are lucky to find a bank that’s now open!!or have you missed that development?as well and the reason they don’t like hoods up is because facial recognition cannot recognise the face fully with a hood up nothing at all to do with the moral compass of the person wearing it!just when you think you can’t say anything more stupid than your last comment!you astound us all…
Oh do shut up, you narrow-minded moron
Stop talking to yourself it’s not good for you.
Bless
The standard pathetic playground response of an immature narcissist
Oh King Numpty has woke up.
Were you born a Numpty it does make one wonder.
Still murdering the English language then
What absolute tripe you speak.
The self opinionated little man opens his gob again before putting brain in gear.
Brain?!
I use the term lightly mate, this moron is beyond belief and should grow up, the self opinionated idiot.
Another about yourself.
I can only imagine you are 2 numpties wearing
hoodies.
You are really pathetic and the thing is i think you get a kick out of being a prick.
I would say that you have hardly any, if any at all, friends with your childish attitude.
You obviously have a mental health issue from the way you like putting people down and calling them childish names.
When is it i wonder your turn to borrow the family brain cell.
You are a self opinionated squirt, it’s not too late to seek help with your condition or maybe it’s to late and everyone has given up on you.
It’s all vanity
The truth always hurts, bless you.
Pathetic just pathetic.
