Statement from Seamus

Since August 2010 I was been the focus of a whispering campaign aimed to destroy my character. It’s very difficult to address this when you have no evidence, Especially when it’s such an emotive issue, such as a claim of sexual assault.

For the last two months personal details of mine have been posted all over the internet, including photographs and my family name.

I have executed a course of action to deal with this once and for all. This has included making a formal complaint to the police with the guidance of my legal team.

This has forced the person discrediting me in the activist community to stand over their allegations. That is an on-going matter and therefore I am not in a position to comment any further.

I have also been the subject of attacks online by people anonymously, although I am aware of their identity. I was alerted to who they were when they posted a photograph of a police hat, claiming that it was my own personal hat, in fact this hat was taken during Climate Camp 2010.

There are people within the anarchist world hiding behind collectives to label me as some sort of tout.

Let me make this clear for anyone.

I have been in contact with two peoples employers. At least one of these people has made a death threat to me on twitter.

With the guidance of a solicitor I have made formal complaints to the police

I am not in any way contacted to the EDL. I find this statement absolutely sickening having lost quite a number of friends to the hands of Loyalist murder gangs.

I will continue to hold those to account who have been involved in this sick game which is already having an effect of my immediate family.
