A student who called a mounted policeman's horse "gay" will not be prosecuted, it has been revealed.
But police have stood by their decision to take Sam Brown to court for making "homophobic comments" despite the Crown Prosecution Service dropping the case.

Mr Brown, 21, a student at Oxford University, had said to an officer: "Excuse me, do you realise your horse is gay?"

Police took the case to court after Mr Brown refused to pay a £80 fine.

Mr Brown, who made the comment during a night out with friends in Oxford after his final exams, was arrested under section 5 of the Public Order Act for making homophobic remarks.

Evidence lacking

His remarks were deemed likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

The English Literature graduate, from Belfast, spent the night of 30 May last year in a police cell.

It emerged at Oxford Magistrates' Court on Thursday that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had chosen to discontinue the case.

Prosecutor Cariad Eveson-Webb said there was not enough evidence to prove Mr Brown had been disorderly.

Thames Valley Police defended their decision to take the case to court.

A spokesman said: "We present the case to the CPS and the CPS make the decision to proceed or not.

"He made homophobic comments that were deemed offencive to people passing by."

British new law gone gaga,and tax payer's money

I believe the case was dropped because the horse, when asked if it wanted charges to be brought,he answered "neigh".


How do you measure a horse's 'Gayness' ???
Perhaps by the type of curtains at his stable (nets or blinds), quality of cushions. Has he painted his hooves with glittery nail-varnish..... Is it the most bitchy horse at the stables
Also it was a mounted policeman's horse it depends what it was mounting - another male horse does kind of give it away.



Good grief wonder how much time and expense was squandered on this utter boswellocks? Someone's nuts should be in a vice for this kind of nonsense,and not the horses.

ROTFLMAO!

I've been duking it out with someone on another forum who professes to be reading for his PhD at Oxford. If the bilge he posts is anything to go by, Oxford has fallen far from grace and I'm not surprised by this sort of nonsense happening.

Mr Brown, 21, a student at Oxford University.... a English Literature graduate


Fairly obvious to me Mr Brown is obviously a raving uphill gardener himself, having experienced a good paddling whilst in public school.
How else did he know the horse was a friend of Dorothy's?
His gaydar must have been in equine mode.
