Confidential files containing graphic descriptions of alleged rapes and victims’ details were found in a bin

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Dissent

Beth Abbit reports:

Rape complainants’ confidential details were exposed by a cache of lawyers’ files dumped in a bin and found by a passer-by.

Graphic accounts of alleged attacks – and the names of alleged victims and the accused – were among a stash of papers left in a dumpster by a canal in Ancoats.

The papers were among 77 files which revealed the personal details of clients of a Manchester law firm accused of serious criminal allegations.

Read more on Manchester Evening News. The files appear to come from the law firm of Nicholas and Partners, who are reportedly stunned and confused as to how their files wound up in a bin.
