Caroline Farrow’s Premature Police Proceedings

Caroline Farrow has posted on Twitter that her solicitor has brought a claim against Surrey Police, specifically, “my solicitor who was submitting a claim for wrongful arrest against Surrey Police to get it in before the 3 month deadline under the Equality Act expired” (archive). That does not look right to your author, who went to a law school. So the question is, is it Caroline who is mistaken or her solicitor?

Caroline Farrow claims her solicitor has filed a claim in order to get it in by the 3 month deadline. Except there is no such thing. The deadline is actually six years for wrongful arrest, and 6 months for discrimination.

Quick law lesson: Wrongful Arrest is a tort. It has nothing to do with the Equality Act 2010. It is actually just a name for the tort of false imprisonment, the elements of which are (1) imprisoning the claimant and (2) absence of lawful authority. The time limit is six years save in the case of a claim for personal injury where it is three years.

Police can also be sued for discrimination in relation to an arrest. In this case, the arrest would be one of the elements of the claim (the ‘detriment’) suffered as a result of some protected characteristic, e.g. Catholicism. Such claims are actioned as a breach of statutory duty, also called statutory tort. Non-discrimination is a duty created by the Equality Act 2010. Under the Equality Act 2010, being arrested is a service provided by the state and therefore actionable under s29, which covers claims by members of the public against service providers. S29 claims are brought in the County Court and not the Employment Tribunal per s114. The time limit is six months per s118 (1) (a).

Donoghue Solicitors have a near-complete list of time limits here in case anyone doubts me.

Caroline’s replies are current full of, “yay! Go grrl!” and similar. Since what Caroline has written appears to be mistaken, I have written to her solicitors and asked them to clarify. I am curious as to what proceedings have actually been issued (if any), which solicitors are acting and what the head of claim is. Her solicitor at AI law Tom Ellis read my request for an explanation, but no response has been received. If I have made an error of law, they have not said what it is. If another firm is acting for Farrow in the police claim, they have not said who it is.

With a claim where there is a six year time limit and plenty of time left, it is customary and prudent to wait until the criminal investigation and police complaint investigation have completed so that the Practice Direction on Pre-action Conduct can be completed. Failing to do so may attract costs penalties. Where there is a shorter limitation period like six months for a discrimination claim, it is of course incumbent on police to get a move on within that period or proceedings may have to be issued protectively. It is very unusual to bring the claim at three months and can attract costs risks.

MHN hopes that Caroline’s cheering followers are not about to be disappointed.

There is a more serious issue here however, because Farrow is asking her followers for donations in support of her various legal defences and claims (archive). When asking for money, in my opinion the utmost transparency and clarity is warranted.

Is Kiwifarmer ‘Erasmus of Rotterdam’ Really Caroline Farrow?

Yesterday, MHN posted a damning exposé about Caroline Farrow. She was quite a bit upset with my media inquiry letter which was sent beforehand to give her a chance to point out any factual errors. Caroline went so far as posting on Twitter that my media inquiry made her, “throw up in fear” (archive). Today, a user called ‘Erasmus of Rotterdam’, posted bizarre allegations on Kiwifarms, claimed to have hacked MHN and the editor’s PC, but was especially upset about questions 10 and 11 in the letter. Those questions were never published. There are grounds for investigation as to whether the poster was in fact Caroline Farrow, sock-puppetting.

Kiwifarms user 'Erasmus of Rotterdam' posts allegations so fake even Dynastia calls them out. But this person has seen a private letter I shared only with three people.

So, who could it be? Firstly, I do not have a copy of anything uploaded to Kiwi Farms so if a copy of the letter was actually uploaded, I have not verified it is the real letter. However, the poster must have at least seen the real letter to know about the questions. So, there is a limited pool of suspects.

Full disclosure. I do not normally correspond with Stephanie Hayden but as they were a subject of the story, I sent them a copy of my letter. Another went to Simon Just. Finally of course, a copy was sent to Farrow via her solicitors. Not long after, Louise Moody claimed to have read the letter. From time to time, Caroline Farrow has been advised by Adrian Yalland, so I considered he might have had a copy. All of these people have at times been accused of sock-puppetting, save that I discount Farrow’s solicitors as likely culprits having no reason to suspect them of socking nor breach of confidence.

The ‘Erasmus of Rotterdam’ account was created on 1 September 2022. It is an account mostly notable for a virulent hatred of transgender persons, variously describing them as fat, eunuch, paedophiles (note the British spelling of ‘paedophile’ as opposed to the American, ‘pedophile’). The account was created before my beef with Farrow and comments mostly on a debate my supporters and I have little involvement in. Beyond a suspicion they are British, who could it be.

But … we have such a short suspects list. Who would be really, really upset about my article about Caroline Farrow? Who would claim to have hacked my hard drive, when they only actually have access to one document – clumsily trying to be, “down with the kids”, if you can call the members of a stalking site, “kids”. I could just imagine Erasmus beginning a post with, “Hello fellow Kiwi Farmers”. Indeed, I had been talking about this with Hayden and Just all day, also separately with the hacktivist Echo. Echo is a younger woman in her twenties and by eerie coincidence had made the very same point about Farrow being a cringe user of Kiwi Farms.

So, I decided to make use of a tool we have had for some time. An AI neural text analyser. Continue reading

Caroline Farrow, Paedophile Sadism, Terrorism, Child Protection and the Catholic Church

As a Conservative, Christian, law blogger I have much sympathy with the gender critical movement. I am the author of multiple articles on that side of the debate, for example, “Trump Boosted as American College of Paediatricians Describes Transgender Ideology as Child Abuse”, “High Court Judge Saves 7-Year Old Boy from Being Forced to be Transgender by Abusive Mother” and “Why Straight Men Should Support Lesbians and Feminists Over ‘Drop the T’”. So I was surprised to hear that Joshua Moon was claiming I was assisting a person suing Caroline Farrow as McKenzie Friend (and should, “die”) … because I am not. No offence to either side – but I have nothing to do with Farrow related litigation. The incident has however reluctantly forced me to scrutinise Farrow’s online activities – which I fear may reveal a serious safeguarding failure by the Roman Catholic Church. In my opinion, based on the materials below, Farrow and those closely associated with her have no place in a Christian ministry or anywhere near vulnerable people.

Caroline Farrow Respects Joshua Conner Moon

Caroline Farrow Respects Joshua Conner Moon. So, what is Moon known for? This article explores the man she rates so highly.

Caroline Farrow is a member of the website Kiwi Farms, a site she describes as, “doing the Lord’s work” and, “the basest site in the world”. This is an unusual and concerning way to describe a site that has promoted and facilitated paedophilia, stalking (including child stalking) and terrorism.

Farrow uses Kiwi Farms to, "decompress" and for, "laughter".

Farrow uses Kiwi Farms to, “decompress” and for, “laughter”.

According to her profile (archive), Caroline joined the site on 13 March 2020, she has over two and a half years of posting and 181 posts. The profile also describes her as a, “bulwark” of the Catholic Church. So, her Catholicism is very much associated with the site. So, what is it, exactly? What is this site that Caroline has chosen to endorse in such an enthusiastic (and therefore, it is to be inferred, informed) way?

KiwiFarmsTwitter

Kiwi Farms is run by paedophile sadist Joshua Conner Moon and exists, in its own words for “exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”. Based on her enthusiastic endorsements, Caroline apparently believes this is God’s will.

Kiwi Farms was set up, in the owner’s own words on the site’s now banned official Twitter account for the purposes set out left.

“Gossip and exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes.”

A good example of the, “exploitation” is the site’s treatment of an autistic person called Christine Weston Chandler. Chandler used to live in Ruckersville, Virginia and has been the focus of Kiwi Farms’ interest to the extent they used Chandler’s postal address on their accounts at times – hence the Ruckersville location in the image to the left.

Chandler was stalked on an industrial scale. Female members of Kiwi Farms and its precursor CWCKi would pretend romantic interest and record phone calls or even meetings with them. This included phone sex. The recordings would be shared online for pleasure. This behaviour was well exposed by Margaret Pless in New York Magazine, “Kiwi Farms, the Web’s Biggest Community of Stalkers” (archive).

Vulnerable Chandler suffered as a result of the stalking that continued throughout the latter part of their minority and into adult life. Eventually Chandler was arrested after a female member of Kiwi Farms persuaded him to have sex (or claim to have had sex) with his very elderly mother (archive).

Given the stated purpose of Kiwi Farms, which is also extremely well covered in the media, I asked Caroline Farrow, via her solicitors AI Law – Question 1 – Is stalking the disabled and encouraging sexually activity for the purposes of mockery, “the Lord’s work”?

No reply (and no denial) was received. Continue reading
