Zadrozny to run for PCC despite child rape allegations

A ONE-TIME Lib Dem parliamentary hopeful facing a series of child sex charges announced yesterday he would run for police and crime commissioner (PCC) in May.

Jason Zadrozny, who fought for the Ashfield seat in 2015, “vehemently” denied the charges including two counts of rape of a child.
