Scotland Yard will review hundreds of rape, child abuse and sexual assault cases after a second prosecution collapsed because police again sat on texts that proved a suspect's innocence. Isaac Itiary, 24, (left) was remanded in jail for four months after being charged with raping a child under 16 but had insisted that the girl told him repeatedly she was 19. His defence team demanded the police hand over her texts in September but only got them last week and found that the alleged victim, who was 15, had constantly lied about her age and had posed as a 19-year-old. Incredibly, his prosecution involved the same officer as the Liam Allan case, which collapsed last Thursday when it emerged he had failed to disclose thousands of damning text messages that showed a woman who said she was raped fantasised about being raped and asked Mr Allan (right with his mother Lorraine) for casual sex after she said she was attacked. The detective constable in question, Mark Azariah (inset), is still working at Scotland Yard's sexual offences unit and has not been suspended.
