On June 17, we reported that Raymond Taylor, 62, of Forest Road, Southport, had been involved in an accountancy scam targeting X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson.
We wish to make clear that although he had faced a charge of misrepresenting himself to the singer as a solicitor, he had always denied this and his not guilty plea was not contested by the prosecution when he appeared at Liverpool Crown Court.
Taylor was jailed for five months after he admitted making a bogus application for a £32,000 student grant, a matter completely unrelated to Rebecca Ferguson.
