Liam Allan was on bail for two years after he was wrongly charged with rape and sexual assault, The Times reports.

Three days into his trial in 2017, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case after it disclosed 40,000 messages from a computer that proved Mr Allan’s innocence.

The student went on to co-found the Innovation of Justice project to raise awareness of how the criminal justice system fails innocent people.

He had planned a round-table meeting at the House of Commons with the police, CPS and others but was forced to cancel it this week as key participants were uninterested.

Last week, ministers held a summit on addressing the disclosure crisis in criminal cases. In attendance were Lucy Frazer QC, the Solicitor General, Nick Hurd the policing minister, Max Hill QC, the Director of Public Prosecutions and victims’ commissioner Dame Vera Baird among others.

Mr Allan said neither he nor any representative of the police was invited.

“We had pitched an event, and the police, CPS and other essentially copied it, but shut out miscarriages of justice advocates,” he said.

“The victims’ commissioner, who bats for victims of crime, was there, but the victims of miscarriages of justice didn’t have a voice or a seat at the table.”

He added: “The police say they need to train police officers to deal with volumes of digital evidence. I could have told them how my defence team sifted through the digital evidence that we were given in just 12 hours. But nobody wants to listen.”

Mr Allan suggested there should be an ambassador or commissioner for victims of miscarriages.

“I’d be happy to take on the role,” he said.

The CPS said: “Working with police colleagues, we recognise that representations from both sides of the debate are important as we discuss this emotive and complicated issue.

“We wanted to give stakeholders who had raised specific concerns the opportunity to discuss these in depth. However, to make sure we get a balanced view, we will be discussing the issue at the National Disclosure Improvement Forum the same week and this will include representatives from the Bar, defence and judiciary.”

The Attorney General’s office said: “The solicitor-general contacted Mr Allan shortly after her appointment in May to discuss his experiences of the criminal justice system and the offer to meet still stands.

“We are due to launch a consultation on revised disclosure guidelines later this year. This will provide an opportunity for those affected by, or with knowledge of, the existing disclosure processes to contribute their views directly.”
