  • Mans life left in tatters , due to police "Typo" accused of downloading indecent images of children.

    When Nigel Lang was wrongly arrested on suspicion of sharing indecent images of children, he says his life fell apart. It all stemmed from nothing more than a typing error by police.

    'Six years of fighting'
    Following Hertfordshire Police's admission, Nigel sought compensation for a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998, false imprisonment, police assault/battery, and trespass by police.
    In October 2016, Hertfordshire Police settled out of court. Nigel received damages of £60,000, plus legal costs.
