Freddie Emery-Wallis

Frederick Alfred John "Freddie" Emery-Wallis FSA (born 11 May 1927) is a British former Conservative Party county councillor for Hampshire from 1973–2001, sometime Lord Mayor of Portsmouth, Leader of Hampshire County Council from 1999–2001, and Deputy Lord Lieutenant for Hampshire.[1]

He was elected Lord Mayor of Portsmouth for 1968–69.[2]

Emery-Wallis suffered a "spectacular fall from grace" in 2001 after being convicted and gaoled for 9 months for two counts of indecent assault against two boys dating back to the 1960s and 1970s.[3] He was also stripped of his CBE to which he had been appointed in 1999 Birthday Honours, and Deputy Lieutenancy as a consequence. Further allegations of indecent assault against a girl were dropped in 2008 due to lack of evidence.[3]
