Jonathan King applies for case review

Jonathan King, currently serving a seven year jail sentence after being found guilty of sexually abusing boys in the 1980s, has asked the Criminal Cases Review Commission to review his case. This follows a refusal by the Court of Appeal in January to rehear his case. King's high profile court case saw him accused of four indecent assaults and two serious sexual offences against boys aged 14 and 15. He has always maintained his innocence, saying it was impossible to defend himself against allegations that had happened many years previously.
