Jemma Beale : Ex Boyfriend : Ben Stonehill

Ben Stonehill

Why Wasn't He Arrested? : Drunken Sexual Intercourse Aged 14

Stonehill’s first interview statement clearly states he had sexual intercourse with Jemma when she was 14 (within a few months of meeting her). Based on his admission he should have been arrested for rape when he made this statement.

Stonehill has not been arrested for this offence.

If he was arrested, there would not have been any credible new evidence in relation to Cassim; as everything else in relation to Cassim was used in the trials and conviction against him.

If the Police had arrested Stonehill,there would not have been any perjury or perverting the course of justice charges against Jemma relating to Cassim. Without these four Cassim charges against Jemma, it is very unlikely the CPS would have charged Jemma with anything.

The whole ‘Operation Vicarage’ would have crashed to a grinding halt.

The Legal View : Sexual Intercourse Aged 14

In relation to underaged sexual intercourse, A BBC legal site quotes the following:

“The law sees it as sexual assault - it's a criminal offence. This is because in the eyes of the law we are unable to give informed consent to sex when still a child. A boy who has sex with a girl under 16 is breaking the law. Even if she agrees. If she is 13-15, the boy could go to prison for two years.”

Jemma and Stonehill agree they had drunken sexual intercourse a couple of months after her 14 birthday. Jemma was 13 and Stonehill was 15 when they first met.

This was used as evidence by the CPS, to dispute Jemma's claim in the trials against Cassim, where she was asked "have you ever had consensual sexual activity with a male", to which she replied "no".

Legally, at the age of 14, she could not give consent.

Jemma's response is accountable for two of the four Cassim charges against her.

There are numerous inconsistencies and contradictions within both of Stonehill's statements, that cast doubt on his evidence.

The Ministry of Justice allow prisoners who maintain their innocence to use the internet through a third party to make serious representations about their innocence. Jemma Beale was wrongly convicted of perjury and perverting the course of justice on 6th July 2017 and received a 10 year prison sentence. Murderers and child killers have received shorter sentences.

This website is the only official representation for Jemma and the content is managed by her friends and family. The majority of information contained on this site is already in the public domain, the evidence, having been given in an open Court of Law.

Where information is referred to that was not admitted in evidence at the trial, it is from official statements and documents received from the defence solicitors acting on behalf of Jemma during the trial.
