Rapist gets payout for arrest error
Updated on 20 July 2009
A convicted paedophile and rapist has been awarded damages for wrongful arrest in a case costing the taxpayer more than £20,000.
Robin Frampton, 53, from Southampton, who was placed on the sex offenders' register for life after an indecent assault on a prostitute, was arrested in Selby, North Yorkshire, for breaching the terms of his licence.
The case was later dropped at court and Frampton was on Monday awarded £3,075 compensation after a judge at Leeds County Court found he had been wrongfully arrested and imprisoned by North Yorkshire Police.
