This is an update on the appalling internet troll Georgina Middleton / Dylan Charlie from my last article. I had been in touch with a PC at Cambridgeshire Police about Georgina based on an old address. Since then, however, the tracing agency I instructed has come back with a current address, in Coventry in the West Midlands. I have been in touch with West Midlands Police and now have a West Midlands Police incident number too. Middleton has been making false allegations of rape and paedophilia about multiple individuals online, including one she had actual knowledge was false, based on her emails. Although she has tried to claim Georgina is her deadname, in fact Middleton not only used the name, “Georgina” in her emails but on currently active social media such as her Twitter account @GeeWrites_ (archive). As of today, the account asserts the name, “Georgina”. Obviously, now we have an address for service both myself and another victim are in a position to serve letter(s) of claim or sealed process. Currently we are waiting on discussions the other victim is having with a solicitors firm about a possible Conditional Fee Arrangement (no-win, no-fee). For other victims, the West Midlands police reference is 3109-151122.
Georgina Middleton / Dylan Charlie’s posts will very shortly lead to substantial civil action against her, and her online posts are under police investigation. Click for full size.
As I said in my previous article here, I consider there is a compelling public interest in naming Dylan / Georgina and giving information about my police reports. This person has been making allegations of the most serious nature online about people ill-equipped to identify her for some time. She has referred to allegations against me she knows to be false, based on her emails. She appears to have incited or encouraged others. Naming her is in the public interest and will assist her victims. Publishing the crime reference number allocated by Cambridgeshire Police and the number from West Midlands Police will make it easy for other victims to explain to police she has a history. There is also a public interest in my responding to false allegations about me communicated to the public, and making it clear how the authorities view them. Finally, there is a public interest in deterring anonymous trolling in the belief it is consequence free. There is a public interest in deterring the group of posters around Georgina making dangerous allegations.
There is also an ongoing concern the allegations may incite violence, which is not helped by members of a group calling themselves, “Knives” getting involved. Taken together, the events have caused fear, alarm and distress to victims and put them in fear of violence by vigilantes.
Cambridge Police have previously had to apologise to me about a similar case when I was in law school but have been very helpful this time. In the previous incident, I had named an internet troll and threatened them with litigation. It did not end well for the troll – or the police officer. The police have been helpful and seem keen not to repeat the same mistakes. Management action was taken against an officer previously – there is still a note in the previous crime report. Private individuals are allowed to represent themselves to contact potential defendants to civil crimes for the purposes of litigation, such as a letter of claim, and it is not harassment no matter how much the defendants say torts trigger them.
Fortunately, because I have previously taken High Court action, successfully representing myself, police now have a better idea of the seriousness of the situation. As a reminder, here is a restraining order I obtained against Dr Jacqui Dillon, and here is a restraining order I obtained against Esther Baker – who is still paying off my costs by High Court Enforcement Officers (High Court bailiffs). Baker has years – perhaps more than a decade – of debt and poverty in front of her.
