A public evangelist who was arrested by the police in Swindon town centre for criticising Mohammed and Buddha has been found not guilty by a magistrates’ court.
Shaun O’Sullivan, 32, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, was arrested on 11 March 2020 for alleged ‘hate speech’ and causing harassment, alarm, and distress.
However, at Swindon Magistrates’ Court in October, three magistrates ruled that he was not guilty of the public order offence and dismissed the other charges against him.
