Criminal record of Peter JACONELLI of Scarborough

The request was partially successful.

Dear Her Majesty’s Courts and the Tribunals Service,

Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please
provide the following information in respect of Alderman Peter
JACONELLI (deceased), former Mayor (in 1971/72) of Scarborough,
North Yorkshire.

The Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed, under FOIA, that its
predecessor (DPP) handled charges against Peter JACONELLI of
indecent assault in 1972. The North Yorkshire Police has confirmed
that Peter JACONELLI was a prolific predatory homosexual paedophile
operating both alone and in joint enterprise with Jimmy SAVILE, the
disgraced BBC presenter, and others.

I would like to see the complete criminal record of Peter
JACONELLI, of Scarborough, and, where possible, such records as you
may have preserved that would indicate failed (or abortive) as well
as successful prosecutions.

In this matter of conspicuous public interest, I look forward to
your most expedient response.

Yours, with kind regards,

Nigel

Dear NE RSU FOI & DPA,

Before moving to a request for Internal Review, I would like to examine your Disclosure Log.

Unfortunately, the link which you have provided:

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisati...

returns only a "Page Not Found" message.

Could I ask you, please, to provide a working URL-link?

Thank you.

Yours, with kind regards,,

Nigel

NE RSU FOI & DPA,

Dear Mr Ward,

I'm sorry you are unable to access the Disclosure Log using the link below. I have tried the link on both my computer and personal mobile phone and I am able to view the page.

I have carried out an external search via Google and found an alternate link which takes you to the Disclosure Log:

Dear NE RSU FOI & DPA,

Many thanks for the alternative URL-link.

I will be in touch in due course (unless I find what I am looking for, which is perhaps unlikely).

I may also consider reducing the scope of my original request.

Have a pleasant weekend.

Yours . with kind regards,

Nigel

Dear NE RSU FOI & DPA,

You will recall my original FOIA request:

"I would like to see the complete criminal record of Peter JACONELLI, of Scarborough, and, where possible, such records as you may have preserved that would indicate failed (or abortive) as well as successful prosecutions."

I have been unsuccessfully in accessing the information I seek through your link to your Disclosure Log.

Therefore, I would like to reduce the scope of my original request, as follows:

Please provide such information as will identify any formal charges brought against former Scarborough Councillor, Mayor and Alderman Peter JACONELLI during the time-frame 1st January 1975 to 31st Decemeber 1979.

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel Ward

NE RSU FOI & DPA,

Dear Mr Ward,

Before we accept your reduced request could you please specify which Court(s) you require a search to be carried out at. As our original response there are over 360 magistrates' courts and 90 crown courts in England and Wales.

Yours sincerely.
