Sir Mo Farrah.

So, if the BBC know who the woman is, why haven't they notified the authorities so she can be questioned by them and, if there is a case, prosecuted for people trafficking?
There's something not right about this story in my opinion. I'm not saying he is lying but something doesn't sit quite right with me.

I have always had a lingering distrust of the man- possibly unfair- but can't shake it off. I suspect him of disloyalty to the UK: as if it were a flag of convenience.

Not even the most ardent "patriot" in the leadership contest would dare suggest stripping him of citizenship. Good for you Sir Mo, you've played a blinder.

Blup

I'm wondering if this has already been looked into and the woman has no case to answer as such? What I mean is, although Mo is saying he was essentially forced into x years of servitude, it could be a difficult thing to prove this far down the line. The family that took him in could simply deny it, alluding to the fact they allowed him to start school etc when he was 12. They could say he was well cared for, how easy is it to prove otherwise? Especially if the whole family that took him in sings off the same hymn sheet.

Home Office taking no action because ...

as a nine-year-old he had no control over being trafficked into Britain - and was also below the age of criminal responsibility, which is ten in the UK.

Something not right on the BBC? You don't say!

It looks like a made-up story to show how illegal immigrants can turn out to be honest and decent.

From now on expect all soap operas and adverts to feature storylines about illegal immigrants made good.
 
Statute of limitations...?
Assuming you mean more broadly rather than the scope of the limitation act which would not apply to criminal law. Of course you’d know that being an expert.

Most of the relevant offences would not be summary/magistrates hearing. So the time limits in the magistrates act, would not apply. There is no limit for indictable offences. For summary offences the clock starts when plod are aware of the offence (hence my point about Bojos FPNs). But then I bow to your superior expertise as you clearly know better. I am after all not known for my legal nous
