Harry Dunn: US Spy's Wife Charged With Causing The Death of Teen by Dangerous Driving
Harry, 19, was killed when his motorbike crashed into a car driven by Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a UK-based US diplomat, outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire on 27 August
Daily Mirror UK, 22 DEC 2019.
Harry Dunn
The wife of a US diplomat has been charged with causing the death of 19-year-old Harry Dunn by dangerous driving.
Anne Sacoolas, 42, left the UK shortly after the incident outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire on August 27 and subsequently claimed diplomatic immunity.
Pictures show how the family broke down in tears and hugged each other today after they were told that Sacoolas had been charged with the offence.
Sacoolas was twice interviewed by Northamptonshire Police - once on the day after the crash, and on another occasion by officers who travelled to the US.
The CPS has now authorised Northamptonshire Police to charge Anne Sacoolas and have started extradition proceedings.
It also said immunity does not apply to dependants of consular officials based outside of London.
Extradition between the US and the UK is governed by a treaty signed by both countries in 2003, and requests prepared by the CPS are sent by the Home Office to the requested state.

Harry's parents Tim Dunn and Charlotte Charles want Mrs Sacoolas to return to the UK to "face justice", and they have been exploring civil actions against her both in Britain and the US.
Family spokesman Radd Seiger has confirmed the CPS had invited Harry's parents to its London headquarters on Friday afternoon to be informed of the charging decision.
Speaking beforehand, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: "I appeal to Anne Sacoolas herself to do the right thing.
"If there is a charging decision from the Crown Prosecution Service, I urge her to come back to the United Kingdom and co-operate with the criminal justice process."

Chief Crown Prosecutor Janine Smith, said: “Following the death of Harry Dunn in Northamptonshire, the Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised Northamptonshire Police to charge Anne Sacoolas with causing death by dangerous driving.
“The Director of Public Prosecutions has met with Harry Dunn’s family to explain the basis of the decision we have made following a thorough review of the evidence available.
Since the investigation into the teenager's death was launched, the family have taken their fight to the US

A meeting with Mr Trump also sparked controversy after it later emerged that Sacoolas was sat in the room next door ready to meet with Harry's parents - an offer the teenager's family refused.
The decision to charge the suspect came just days after Mrs Charles was left "utterly devastated" by footage which showed Sacoolas reversing out of her driveway at her home in the state of Virginia.
