After years of legal proceedings, Jason Jones is welcoming the Privy Council’s decision in his challenge to provisions of the Sexual Offences Act which criminalise buggery and acts of serious indecency.
The Board unanimously ruled that the legislation must be interpreted consistently with the Constitution, so that private, consensual sexual relations between adults of the same sex are not criminalised.
Mr Jones says the outcome is a victory not only for him but for the wider LGBT+ community.
