I don't have a clue whether he is guilty of what he's been accused of and charged for by Police, but one thing's for sure if you look at photos of him now and photos from when he was in the S.A.S. the whole thing is clearly weighing on him as he has obviously lost a considerable amount of weight from stress. Again, I don't know if he's innocent or guilty, this is just an observation. But an old high school friend has started a fund online for BRS to help fund his legal defence. He said it's the only legitimate fund so I'm guessing there's been a few scam funds created in his name.
