00:00I am very pleased by today's verdict. The judge found me and the women who gave evidence on my

00:06behalf to be credible, honest witnesses and said that my actions were not criminal and did not

00:11constitute harassment. The judge commented that the complainant, a well-known trans activist,

00:17was not truthful. There are a group of dangerous men who are determined to bully women and girls

00:24and to misuse the courts and police in furtherance of a misogynistic agenda. I am proud to have stood

00:30up to them and I will continue to do so. I am grateful to the Free Speech Union for their

00:35unwavering support and for helping to ensure that those who speak out against these dangerous

00:41activists are protected. If you want to join me in thanking the Free Speech Union, please join them.

00:47Thank you very much.
