R v MICHAEL JOHN T (2000)

A conviction for serious sexual offences against children after complaints that had been delayed for many years was quashed where the police had destroyed evidence of the only contemporaneous complaint and that evidence lay at the heart of the questions of credibility on which the case turned.
