Boss of Notorious UK Internet Copyright Troll Firm Sent to JAIL in Tears (http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2016/09/boss-notorious-uk-internet-copyright-troll-firm-sent-jail-tears.html)
The Managing Director of consultancy firm Hatton & Berkeley (H&B), Robert Croucher, which became notorious for hounding subscribers of UK ISPs (e.g. Sky Broadband) with letters demanding payment for suspected Internet piracy, has been sent to jail in tears after assaulting a Taxi driver.
The practice of so-called “Speculative Invoicing” is widely frowned upon, not least due to its reliance upon fallible IP address based evidence (usually gathered via public File Sharing networks) and for the bullying nature of its approach. People who fail to reach a settlement are often threatened with court, but such action almost never occurs and those cases that have been attempted were not successful.

So he was sent to jail for
has been sent to jail in tears after he violently assaulted a Taxi driver, Mohammed Hussein, while heavily intoxicated. The court documents state that Croucher slapped, pushed and then kicked Mr Hussein a number of times, including to the head.
So he should be.
Nothing to do with H&B, but just goes to show what a bully he is.
