Last week, solicitor and managing director Marcus Johnstone was interviewed by Lee Anderson MP of GB News, discussing his career as a criminal defence solicitor, the challenges in the criminal justice system, and the inaccessibility of data related to sexual offences committed by non-British nationals.
Appearing on 'Real World', he discussed his 25-year career in the legal sector, including his work in prisons law and as a sexual crimes defence specialist. Questioned as to the ethics of defending individuals accused of sexual offences, Marcus responded that PCD Solicitors provide an 'essential service' for those facing the most serious allegations, adding that the firm 'holds the state to account' when it investigates and prosecutes sexual crimes, which can carry long and stigmatising sentences.
Marcus also outlined the firm's ongoing research into rates of offending by foreign nationals, expanding on provisional data he presented to Martin Daubney on GB News on Tuesday, 1 July 2025.
