Street Preacher, 75, Cleared of ‘Hate Speech’ Remarks
A British street preacher convicted of a “racially and religiously aggravated public order offense” has been acquitted on appeal and cleared of all charges, according to a press release by the Christian Concern.
Mr Jones was accused of making offensive remarks about the Jewish community while preaching in the east Yorkshire town in December 2023.
The prosecution alleged that he had shouted inflammatory comments, causing alarm and distress to a member of the public. However, Mr Jones consistently denied the allegations, stating in police interviews that he had never made such remarks and that he actively preaches against antisemitism.
In his defense, Mr Jones described himself as a “spiritual Jew” and provided extensive evidence of his longstanding support for Israel and Jewish causes. He became a Christian later in life following the suicide of both his sons within quick succession. On becoming a Christian, he has been a consistent supporter of the Jewish community and the state of Israel.
That Jones was initially found ‘guilty’ of these so-called crimes was a miscarriage of justice, given:
The defense submitted that there was no credible evidence to support the claims against Mr Jones. There was no CCTV footage, no corroborating witnesses, and the statements provided were inconsistent and made weeks after the alleged incident and could be put down to an anti-Christian heckler who chose to misinterpret pro-Jewish Christian street evangelism.
Jones has previously been slandered and dogged by law enforcement for decrying abortion as murder and calling homosexuality ‘sinful’ while open air preaching.
