"We really mirror the process between the police and the CPS, Davison said. The difference is that the police are agents of the state, whereas people call on Davison when the state fails to help."
"Looking back, I could see how stupid I was to believe him, Carol later recalled in a witness statement. He would often call me paranoid, and certainly made me feel this way when I suspected [he was] seeing other women."
"He was a disgusting narcissist, one of them told me."
Simon Davison is director of investigations at AnotherDay, a London crisis consultancy and a former police detective who has recovered stolen cryptocurrency, uncovered secret properties and tracked fraudsters to Cyprus. Davison specialises in private prosecutions, a legal route that allows victims to fund criminal charges in the same courts used by the Crown Prosecution Service and potentially carry identical prison sentences. Carol, a traffic manager at a local council, lent 10,000 to her ex‑boyfriend Jiro Wilson for promised shares. Three other women reported similar loans. The four discovered a pattern and learned Wilson had taken a total of 46,000, then organised together via a WhatsApp group.
