The Morien Jones apologies, cont. again

March 16, 2007 – 8:00 am

It’s been a while since we saw an apology for Morien Jones, a UK man who was the subject of a string of hurtful and incorrect articles in the British press. Well, thanks to a recent court decision related to the story, we have two more to add. Read the others and get the background here.

ON 25 and 26 May 2006 we published articles concerning the unsuccessful prosecution of Lynett Burgess for indecent exposure. The articles suggested that her neighbour Mr Jones had filmed her sunbathing naked in her garden. In fact, Ms Burgess was filmed on behalf of Mr Jones by his builder on police advice. Ms Burgess was filmed walking naked on the driveway in front of Mr Jones’s house and not in her own garden. We apologise to Mr Jones for the error and for any misleading impression given of Mr Jones.

In the article below we incorrectly accused Morien Jones of videotaping his neighbour whilst she sunbathed naked in her back garden and reporting her to the police. In fact, Mr Jones’ neighbour was filmed on police advice in the context of a possible court action against her whilst she was walking naked on his driveway. We apologise to Mr Jones for our error.
