Father-of-two, 53, spent 'torturous' EIGHT MONTHS in jail falsely accused of rape after police withheld vital phone messages.
Robert Adlington said his life was destroyed by the false rape allegations and he lost his landscaping business, house, and reputation while behind bars in Nottingham Prison. He claims his ‘torturous’ ordeal nearly led him to take his own life. The 53-year-old repeatedly pleaded with officers to check his accuser's phone as the racy texts would prove their liaisons were consensual. 'Oh darling, that was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. Let's do it again – only harder,' one read. Another read: 'I don't need sleep, I only need you babe XXX' and a third begging him to 'join me in the shower'. Mr Adlington said despite his life being ruined, and although he faced decades in jail if convicted, no one from the police has ever apologised to him. Mail.
