CPS authorise charge against previous Conservative PCC candidate Jonathan Seed
22 Sep 2021
The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised police to charge Jonathan Seed with making a false declaration in the nomination papers for the Wiltshire 2020 Police & Crime Commissioner elections.
The CPS made the decision that he should be charged after reviewing a file of evidence from Thames Valley Police.
"The CPS reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial.
"It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice proceedings."
Mr Seed is due to appear at Oxford Magistrates' Court on October 19.
