Prisoner Re-Arrested Moments After Release Under Early Release Scheme
A prisoner was re-arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault just moments after being released under the UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s early release scheme. This incident occurred during a mass release of inmates at Wandsworth Prison in south-west London.
The 28-year-old man was reportedly walking out of the prison gates when he was met by police. He was immediately cuffed and taken to a nearby police station in a waiting van.
Details of the Re-Arrest and Investigation
Following an inquiry by the Metropolitan Police, it has been revealed that the man faced allegations of rape, sexual assault, and a racially aggravated public order offence. The circumstances surrounding his early release are now under scrutiny.
The Met told MailOnline: “A 28-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, and a racially/religiously aggravated public order offence. He was taken to a south London police station before being bailed pending further enquiries related to the allegation of rape. No further action will be taken regarding the other allegations.”
The exact timing of the alleged rape remains unclear. The incident occurred amidst scenes of celebration outside Britain’s prisons, where 1,700 criminals were released after serving only a portion of their sentences
