Controversy section

edit

A dynamic-IP has been trying to blank the "Controversy" section and the page as been protected. I have fixed the two refs used in this section (they were to urls), but it is not clear to me that there was real "controversy" here. In this ref, which is not a strong source, she claimed that she was being targeted [1], and ultimately, her husband was not fined, and ended up winning £400 in compensation.? While The Times ref is a very strong RS, I am not sure this went anywhere and no other material UK RS mentions the "controversy"? My question is whether this "controversy" section is unfair to her?

However an independent social worker found no evidence to substantiate the claims made by South Tyneside Council and the Local Government Ombudsman investigated South Tyneside Council four times and on each occasion "found fault with the council".
There was no police investigation and the Disclosure and Barring Service have stated that there is no restrictions on Mr Buck working with vulnerable children or adults. Harlow Harry (talk) 21:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Got sources? Toddst1 (talk) 22:08, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
The only more recent source is [2], but story is the same there - allegations made, Simon disputed, Simon lost, Simon appealed, ombudsman said investigation was flawed but did not dispute verdict, investigators reaffirmed verdict, fin. If something else has happened since then, it does not appear to be in the news. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:33, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Someguy1221, thanks for that, which I think covers it. Britishfinance (talk) 09:47, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
