Report by Kenny Parker A statement from Ormskirk and Burscough Police posted on social media said: “Earlier this month we were made aware of a post by a group on Facebook accusing a man from Ormskirk of sexual offences. “The man, 55, was arrested by police and later released under investigation. We have looked into the allegation and are satisfied it is a case of mistaken identity. “We are confident the man originally named by this group was not involved in any attempts to groom children or commit sex offences and he has no previous convictions for such offences. “He has been released with no further action. “The post, including video and images, has been removed by the administrator of the Facebook page involved.

Group claimed it had tracked down ‘offender’ but victim was wrongly accused, say police POLICE have called on ‘paedophile hunters’ to let officers investigate suspected offenders after an innocent 55-year-old Ormskirk man was accused of sexual offences against children on social media. Ormskirk and Burscough Police said they were made aware of a Facebook post containing a video and images from a group which claimed to have tracked down a sex offender in the town. On the basis of the group’s accusations, the man was taken into custody but after questioning was released with police saying they are satisfied the man is innocent. Following the incident, officers said anyone with concerns about an individual should contact police and let them investigate. According to reports, the group confronted the man on his doorstep and accused him of sex offences. They ‘live-streamed’ the confrontation including the man’s protestations that he was innocent.
