The camp was being run by the Stathern Childrens Holiday Fund SCHF, which provides school clubs or subsidised holidays for children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds in Nottingham. Mr Ruben, a veterinary surgeon whose business was dissolved last August according to Companies House records, is listed as a trustee of the charity. Leicestershire Police this afternoon announced that Mr Ruben had been charged with child cruelty offences. The 76 year old is charged with three offences of wilful ill treatment of a child relating to three boys, the Crown Prosecution Service said. The Daily Mail revealed on Thursday that the suspect had been arrested in the car park of the Anchor Inn at Plungar, three miles from Stathern Lodge, the facility which staged the camp A neighbour said police had been at the address 24/7 since arriving on Monday. The resident added The whole thing is a complete and utter shock. We gather he has run the charity for a long time it is a wonderful cause and does a lot of good work. He is a lovely guy, and they are a lovely couple. They are really good neighbours we usually see him walking his two dogs. We havent seen the wife since Monday. We knew he was doing camps this summer, although we didnt know he was away at the weekend. We last saw him on Thursday last week. He will appear before Leicester Magistrates on Saturday, 9 August https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdl38cGovyk |
