**「Dr K」布吉鋼琴家指責警方手段粗暴**

一名YouTube鋼琴家與其妻子，因舉報神職人員涉嫌虐待兒童而遭警方逮捕，他們指責警方行動粗暴，甚至對他們的孩子造成心理創傷。
六名警員駕駛兩輛警車與一輛廂型車前往這對夫婦家中，將Brendan與Lorainne Kavanagh銬上手銬，並沒收價值約12,000英鎊的電子設備。
Kavanagh先生以「Dr K」之名在網上直播布吉鋼琴演奏與鋼琴教學。他表示自己三名年齡皆未滿14歲的孩子在當時「嚇壞了」。
這對夫婦於4月1日遭貝德福郡警察局（Bedfordshire Police）以涉嫌騷擾罪名逮捕，過程被家中的監控錄下。
他們曾透過電郵與WhatsApp訊息，向天主教社區內其他家長分享對某位神職人員的疑慮——據稱該人於海外任職神父期間，曾與人有不當關係。

在保釋兩個月後，警方告知Kavanagh夫婦將不會採取進一步行動，因為「並未發現有罪行發生」。
貝德福郡警方表示，將對此次逮捕事件的「所有情況」展開調查。
這對夫婦在牢房裡待了將近10小時，他們表示，這起事件說明警方如今過於在意「受傷的感受」，而忽略了真正的犯罪行為。
此案與其他備受關注的調查類似，例如針對《每日电讯报》專欄作家Allison Pearson在線上發言的調查——這些被歸類為所謂的「非犯罪仇恨事件」（non-crime hate incidents）。

### 「當著孩子面被銬上手銬」
57歲的Kavanagh先生說：「我和妻子在孩子面前被警方銬上手銬。孩子們嚇壞了，完全不知道發生了什麼。」
「警方唯一掌握的所謂證據，就是我寄出的三、四封情緒激動但完全不具威脅性的電子郵件。」
這位音樂家表示，去年有一名男子在他們農場的教堂主持了一場拉丁彌撒後，他對該人產生疑慮。Kavanagh聯絡了加勒比海地區教會的一位高層人士，對方表示該男子在當地任職神父時曾被指控行為不當。

### 警車與警員現場

Kavanagh隨後電郵數位人士分享此事，不久後得知該男子已向警方報案，聲稱Kavanagh在社群媒體上「稱他為戀童癖」，並鼓動YouTube粉絲「痛打他」。
「很明顯警方連基本事實都沒查清，否則就會知道這是徹頭徹尾的謊言，」Kavanagh說。「警方以這種低門檻的證據授權這種過度行動，實在令人震驚。」
「我們常被告知警方資源緊張，但如今只要有人聲稱自己受到了冒犯，那就是最重要的事。如今英國警方淪為處理『感受受傷』的專責機構，這真令人憂心。」

### 「有時確實需要扣押設備」
貝德福郡警方發言人回應表示：「我們派出多名警員是為了分別將兩名嫌疑人帶往拘留所，同時安排人員留守住所以便執行搜索。此次逮捕由學員警員在導師監督下進行。」
「在逮捕現場若有孩童在場，警方會確保安排適當照顧後才離開。」
「作為騷擾案件的調查一環，有時需要扣押設備以檢視是否存在犯罪證據。」
「兩人被捕後獲准保釋，警方展開進一步調查。經過徹底調查，確認這對夫婦並未涉及任何罪行，已通知其不會進一步追究。」
「我們正在審查此次事件的所有背景。不過，若有人希望就案件處理方式提出申訴，我們鼓勵其透過網站與我們聯繫。」

### 曾與中國遊客發生爭執
去年，Kavanagh也曾在倫敦聖潘克拉斯國際車站（London St Pancras International）公眾鋼琴區與一群中國遊客爆發爭執。
當時他正進行直播演奏，遊客上前要求停止錄影，詢問自己的臉是否入鏡，並堅持他停止拍攝。

YouTube pianist arrested after making child abuse allegation against priest
‘Dr K’ boogie-woogie musician accuses police of being ‘heavy-handed’

A YouTube pianist and his wife have accused police of being heavy-handed and traumatising their children when arresting the couple for making a child abuse allegation.
Six officers handcuffed Brendan and Lorainne Kavanagh and seized electronic equipment worth £12,000 after arriving in two marked police cars and a van at the family’s home.
Mr Kavanagh, who uses the name Dr K and broadcasts boogie-woogie performances and piano lessons online, said his three children, all aged under 14, were “terrified”.
The couple were arrested by Bedfordshire Police on suspicion of harassment on April 1. The arrest was captured on their security cameras.
The couple had shared concerns through email and WhatsApp messages with other parents in the Catholic community that someone ministering in the area was alleged to have had an inappropriate relationship while working as a priest abroad.

After waiting two months on bail, the Kavanaghs have been told police are taking no further action because no offences have been committed.
Bedfordshire Police has launched a review into “all the circumstances” surrounding the arrest.
The Kavanaghs, who spent nearly 10 hours in cells, claimed their arrest showed that police have become too concerned with “hurty feelings” and are neglecting real crimes.
The case is similar to a series of high-profile investigations, including into online comments made by Allison Pearson, The Telegraph columnist, in which social media posts or private messages were classified as so-called “non-crime hate incidents”.
‘Handcuffed in front of children’
Mr Kavanagh, 57, said: “My wife and I were arrested and handcuffed in front of our children. Our children were terrified and did not understand what was going on.
“The only evidence the police had were three or four angry – but non-violent – emails I had sent.”
The musician raised concerns about someone who celebrated a Latin mass last year at a chapel they have on their land. He became concerned about that individual and contacted a senior figure from within the church in the Caribbean, who claimed the man had faced allegations of inappropriate behaviour when he was on the island.

Mr Kavanagh decided to email some people about the issues raised. He soon discovered that the man had complained to police that Mr Kavanagh was “calling him a paedophile on social media” and urging his YouTube followers to “beat him up”.
“Clearly the police did not even bother to check this out, as it would have been found to be a complete lie,” Mr Kavanagh continued. “The low standard of evidence used to authorise such overkill is truly staggering.
“We are told the police have scarce resources. Yet if someone can claim their feelings are hurt, that is all that matters. It appears very easy to engage in vexatious behaviour using the police as a tool to silence and intimidate. The modern British police have truly become the ‘hurty feelings’ police.”

‘Sometimes necessary to seize devices’
A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: “A number of officers were sent to the scene to facilitate the transport of the two people to custody in separate vehicles, as well as officers to remain at the property to carry out searches. The arrest was carried out by student officers, supervised by their tutors.
“When children are present during an arrest, officers will ensure that there is appropriate care in place for them prior to leaving the property. As part of an investigation into harassment offences, it is sometimes necessary to seize devices to review evidence of any possible offences.
“The two people arrested were released on bail while further enquiries were carried out. Following a thorough investigation, it was found that no offences had been committed by the couple, and they were informed that no further action would be taken.
“We are in the process of reviewing all of the circumstances around this incident. However, we would encourage anyone who wishes to make a complaint around how their case was handled to contact us directly via our website.”
Last year, Mr Kavanagh became embroiled in a row with a group of Chinese tourists who demanded he stop livestreaming at a public piano site at London St Pancras International station where he was playing.
The tourists confronted the musician, asking whether their faces were visible before insisting he stop filming.
