The former mayor of Littlehampton has been jailed for fraud but his unlikely friendship with the man he was helping perhaps raises more questions.

Reminds me of the child grooming case in Keighly, Yorkshire. Clearly no evidence against the former mayor but it makes you wonder what the basis of their obvious close friendship was given the significant age gap and cultural differences. I doubt very much they were golfing buddies or members of the same rotary club.

Wonder if anyone at Sussex Police has noted the connection?

Usually when one commits fraud the motivation is to personally benefit in some way. In this case as far as has been made apparent there was no personal benefit to Belchamber. So what was his motivation to put his freedom and reputation on the line as he did. I'm wondering if there was an element of blackmail involved.
