Lewis Burton Vows to "Share the Truth" After Caroline Flack Documentary Debuts

The Disney+ series presents unseen messages and fresh scrutiny of decisions by prosecutors and police in Caroline Flack’s 2019 case.

Overview

  • The two-part Disney+ film, led by Christine Flack, re-examines the 2019 incident using previously unseen voice notes, texts and case materials.
  • Lewis Burton issued a rare Instagram statement citing false accusations and online abuse and said he will clarify the situation.
  • Producers say Burton declined to participate in the series, though some of his statements appear via police body-camera audio from the night in question.
  • Former CPS chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal argues the case should have ended with a caution, not a prosecution, after reviewing documents shown in the film.
  • The CPS says the prosecution decision was correct and the Metropolitan Police says independent reviews found no officer misconduct, as the documentary challenges a ‘lamp’ claim and shows an image of a minor head mark.
