2006: Irish police officer Maurice McCabe is accused of rape.
This was a long-running smear campaign against a totally innocent man. Naturally, being a police officer the allegations found their way into his personnel file. They concerned a claim that eight years previously he had done something to the daughter of a colleague.
The following year, the DPP decided against pressing charges against him due to lack of evidence, ie no evidence at all, but in 2013, some airhead woman known only as ‘Ms D’ sought counselling in relation to a previously reported allegation that had been investigated by the police.
(Counselling is a scam; often rape crisis counsellors attempt to convince women they have been sexually abused when they were young, or that their real sordid consensual encounters were in fact rape).
In December 2014, McCabe, then a sergeant, was sent an official letter which outlined allegations from this unrelated case that had somehow found its way into his file. The person responsible for this, Health Service Executive staff member Laura Brophy, said she had made a mistake because of a horrible coincidence – apparently a mix-up of names.
The person responsible for the smear campaign appears to have been a man, a fellow police officer who wanted to discredit McCabe to take the heat off an investigation into himself over prosaic corruption. It remains to be seen who posted abusive messages about Mr McCabe on the (now long defunct) social network Bebo along with eleven photographs of a plastic rat!
On July 22, 2020, the Irish radio station Newstalk broadcast a 33 minute plus interview with the former police officer and his wife Lorraine. The interviewer was Ivan Yates and the programme was The Hard Shoulder.
Here is an excerpt from that interview.
