No, this actually happened. I hesitated posting it here as I don't really want anymore publicity than necessary. When I sue there will be some, maybe a lot, but publicity isn't the point I'm after. I just wanted everyone to know it can happen.
Further, you should always protect your rights first. Even if you have nothing to hide, talking to the police is a bad idea. You don't know what has been alleged, you don't know what they have in their minds, and you don't know how honest they are. ALWAYS HEDGE WITH YOUR RIGHTS. Worry about "helping" their investigation later.
OK, I’m on board and thanks for the advice. Good luck with your lawsuit.
He was “helping police with their enquiries”.
