Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, University Lecturer Charged With Drug Possession

A university lecturer has been charged with possessing drugs after a teenager fell ill during a party at his home. Sixty-one-year-old Brian Dodgeon, a research fellow based at the Quantitative Social Science department at the Faculty of Policy and Society at the University of London’s Institute of Education, has been suspended from his job following facing five counts of drugs possession.

Mr Dodgeon’s daughter invited friends to a party at his West London home in April of this year. His daughter’s friend, 15-year-old Isobel Jones-Reilly, fell ill at the party and later died in hospital. Miss Jones-Reilly is believed to have died from a cardiac arrest following taking drugs at the party. Mr. Dodgeon, who will be in receipt of full pay throughout his suspension, is accused of being in possession of the drugs MDMA (ecstasy), LSD, 5-MeO-dipt (Foxy Methoxy), ketamine and diazepam. An inquest into Miss Jones-Reilly’s death was opened and adjourned in May.
