by Gordon Rayner, TelegraphReporter accused of harassment after emailing series of questions to Jason Arday about his academic recordScotland Yard investigated a journalist trying to expose a plagiarism row and told him to stop asking a Cambridge professor questions. Jack Grove, a reporter for Times Higher Education (THE), was accused of harassment after he emailed a series of questions to Prof Jason Arday about his academic record. Mr Grove said officers told him to stop contacting the professor because his “mental health” had been affected by the questions. The Metropolitan Police spent four months looking into the claim of harassment before deciding in February to close the case. The Met also reportedly passed on a complaint to another force about an academic who was also looking into the academic record of Prof Arday, but the other force refused to investigate.
