SBC: Time To ‘Fess Up And Say Sorry

An Open Letter to Scarborough Borough Council, first published in early February 2015 in the Scarborough Review (Scarborough’s new free newspaper) from Michael BECKETT, who is the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Liberal Democrat Party – re-produced here at the request of a number of readers, and with the permission of the author.

Mike BECKETT – himself a victim of child sexual abuse – has called upon Scarborough Borough Council to mirror the actions of the North Yorkshire Police (NYP) by offering a public apology to the victims of the predatory paedophile former Mayor and Alderman, Councillor Peter JACONELLI [Con.] – the disgraced friend and co-offender of Jimmy SAVILE – for the systemic failure in its duty of care that has left hundreds, perhaps thousands, of victims without vindication or closure.
