Former Sussex cricket launches appeal against sex abuse conviction

5:50pm Wednesday 9th January 2013 in News

A former Sussex cricketer who was jailed for child abuse is launching a fresh attempt to quash his conviction.

Uday Joshi was sent to prison for six years in March last year after being found guilty of sexually molesting a boy more than 30 years ago.

Last month the 68-year-old’s appeal was dismissed by the Belfast Court of Appeal, but he is now asking the Criminal Cases Review Commission to investigate his case.

Mr Joshi’s son, Aakash, said: “All of my family and my father’s friends and supporters know he is innocent and we remain fully committed to doing everything we can to clear his name.”
