UK - Man accused of kidnap and sexual assault of girl aged 9 in Knightsbridge, London

I don't believe in any "leading questions".

C'mon!
Questioning is done by professionals, by psychologists.
They know their job.
There are procedures concerning questioning children.

This is really frightening how a child victim was treated, not believed.

No wonder,
victims of SA are reluctant to report the crime.

What a shame!

It makes me angry.

I'm confused about the Benadryl. UK has Benadryl but it doesn't have diphenhydramine as the active ingredient in antihistamines. You can buy diphenhydramine as a sleep aid, but not Benadryl brand. I suppose it could have been obtained elsewhere, but if he was asked if he gave Benadryl when it was diphenhydramine which was found in her urine, that wasn't the right question to ask.

Maybe he brought the US version with him as he was just visiting the UK?

He could have tampered with it.

Right, but because UK Benadryl doesn't contain diphenhydramine, if the question was, "did you give Benadryl to the child?" he could truthfully say no while having given diphenhydramine.

Incidentally, in France, diphenhydramine is given for motion sickness.
