Witness Intimidation by Chris E

Disclaimer:

The following information has been published for the purposes of defending myself in the forth-coming Dearman v’s Paterson/Taylor harassment case.

The evidence of this witness intimidation by someone identifying as Chris E, is to be used as evidence in my defence.

Email sent on 31 January 2020

Dear DC Lloyd, Inspector Thompson and CPS Team;

I continue to receive malicious communications on a daily basis, which is causing me immense alarm, fear and distress.

I wish this to be taken into consideration in the forthcoming trial of Dearman v’s Paterson/Taylor.

I have reasonable grounds to believe I am being contacted by Mr Dearman, due to the comment:

“I find it very comforting that the last person who threatened me is locked away in Chelmsford prison , crying himself to sleep on the vulnerable prisoner wing, threatening to kill himself.. “

Who else would say this comment if it wasn’t Mr Dearman, or a person pretending to be Mr Dearman?

I find the following comments immensely distressing:

“Look on the bright side Matt, at least you’ll get 3 meals a day in jail, must be hard digging in bins behind the supermarket just to survive, K will meet a real man, kids get a new dad, a real one they can look up to. Its not all bad news. Might take K for a drink myself. Is she dating anyone ?”

“K” refers to my ex partner Karina Moran.

I am a vulnerable adult who suffers from extreme anxiety due to what has happened to me since 2017. Whoever this person is he’s violating Section 51 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994-

s.51(1) creates an offence directed at acts against a person assisting in the investigation of an offence or is a witness or potential witness or juror or potential juror whilst an investigation or trial is in progress; and

s.51(2) creates an offence directed at acts against a person who assisted in an investigation of an offence or who was a witness or juror after an investigation or trial has been concluded.

I am innocent until proven guilty and demand protection against this clear witness intimidation and malicious communications against myself; and now threats against my family.

If this isn’t a death threat, I don’t know what is?

“To be fair you’re very lucky the dad of the kids you target on a regular basis hasn’t ended you.”

I wish this information to be taken as evidence, in the forthcoming Dearman v’s Paterson/Taylor court trial.

I demand protection and an investigation.

Yours Sincerely,

Matthew Taylor

Sussex Police admit Satanism is “Under-Reported.”

Isn’t it any wonder Satanism is “Under-reported,” in Sussex, when Sussex Police themselves have been fooled by an alleged satanic cult leader?

John Paterson, aged 70 years old, is dying in Chelmsford Prison, awaiting trial for alleged offensives reported to Sussex Police by the same alleged satanic cult leader who fooled them, concerning Mrs Justice Pauffley’s Court Judgements dated 10 February 2015 and 19 March 2015.
