Taking Liberties: The Story of the Accused

on BBC Two England

When a law lecturer was accused of a serious sexual assault the case, in the absence of criminal charges, was handled by the internal disciplinary procedures of the college where he worked. For reasons of confidentiality he was not initially told the identity of his alleged victim, and was not allowed to cross-examine her. Suspended from his job for 18 months, he was subsequently reinstated - but has he been the victim of an injustice?
John Ware investigates the secretive way in which disciplinary hearings are conducted in Britain's academic institutions.
