Oh this is brilliant news! I cried a bit! So glad & relieved for Marion. But it's an utter disgrace she's been put through this nightmare. (How I'd love to be a fly on the wall of a certain bus stop "actor" right now.)

I would hope there would be some consequences for vexatious litigants (isn't he behind the nonsense being aimed at Ceri Black?) but I suspect there won't be. So pleased for Marion.

Can she privately sue the bully and use the funds generated?

1) YES!! About bloody time.

2) Now what about “Police Scotland” investigating vexatious complainants? What about some public apologies? What about some fair news coverage (remember that incident at the Doctors pub in Edinburgh?)

What a relief for her and her family, but a disgrace that it ever happened in the first place. Let’s hope it forces others to reflect on their knee-jerk tendencies to pursue women who step out of line.

Excellent news, and all she had to suffer was about four months of stress, harassment, threats of imprisonment and being defamed on the internet. The process is indeed the punishment.

What a relief. After everything they have put her through. I hope they don't think people will forget about this now because it's a stain in Scotland that will never go away. Marion should do as much publicity as possible to tell people what was done to her and why and the hell she's been put through for months for nothing.

Bloody fantastic news, although how the hell charges were brought in the first place beggars belief.

AMAZING NEWS!! I would have loved to see Parsley try and explain himself in court but great result for Marion. Xx

I had to take a few minutes to absorb this. What I have been waiting for since the start of this outrageous case. I was so ashamed of Scotland letting it go this far. Police Scotland must wake up to what is going on with these spurious accusations. As well as being happy for Marion I want to thank Graham and all of you for leading the way out of this mess.

Brilliant news, I’m so pleased that this nightmare is over for her.

As for DP, I bet Greggs is on standby.

Good news. Hounding women for their views has been a sport for the TRAs but hopefully this indicates that the police now understand their tactics and will think carefully before proceeding with charges.

That is SUCH good news. She must be weak with relief and a billion cheers for Joanna Cherry.

Great! Hope NI police are having a chin scratch over this too.

Great news, Marion has suffered enough. This was a trumped up charge that should never have been brought.
