Devout Catholic mother and wife of the vicar praised by JK Rowling ‘arrested by police at her home and her electronic devices seized over a series of ‘malicious’ messages uploaded to KiwiFarms chat forum’

  • Caroline Farrow has shared experiences online with Surrey Police
  • She has said that two police officers ‘forced’ her home last night
  • Row stems from a series of anonymous posts shared on forums on Kiwi Farms
  • Ms Farrow is accused of posting ‘malicious’ content and ‘harassing’ other users
  • But the mother of five and journalist has vehemently denied the allegations

A Catholic Mother Praised by JK Rowling claims her personal devices were seized during a police raid and that she was questioned by police about a series of “malicious” posts on the far-right chat board KiwiFarms.

Caroline Farrow, a journalist and mother of five, shared a lengthy thread online about her experience with the Surrey police after two police officers reportedly ‘forced’ their home to arrest her last night.

While they were preparing a roast dinner for her priest husband Robin and five children on Sunday, two police officers called her home and reportedly demanded that she join them for a tentative interview.

The spat stems from a series of anonymous posts shared in June on forums at Kiwi Farms – accusing Ms Farrow of posting ‘malicious’ content and ‘harassing’ other users on the online platform.

She has strenuously denied the charges, explaining instead that she played the organ during Mass at Holy Angels Church, Aldershot.

Ms Farrow later shared photos of her allegedly being searched by officers in her driveway, claiming her electronic devices had been confiscated and saying she had to turn in her jewelry before being questioned at a police station in Guildford.

She tweeted: “When I read my rights and told that what I said could be used as evidence against me, I replied that women are not [aubergine emoji – often used online to refer to a penis].’

Farrow, who works for the British and Irish director of Catholic campaign website CitizenGo, said she felt “difficult and anxious” throughout the ordeal.

She tweeted: “I know it’s the procedure but one minute I’m cooking some fried chicken for dinner, the next I’m having my socks searched for drugs because of ‘insulting posts on the internet’.

“It’s scary that the police can take someone at their word and come and arrest you just like that. All they could say is ‘we have had an allegation that needs to be investigated”.

Sentences for those found guilty under the Malicious Communications Act can be up to two years.

Ms Farrow, who once complained that her life was “invaded and dominated by insane trans rights activists,” has previously been publicly endorsed by Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

Ms Farrow was investigated by the same police for allegations in 2019 she had used the wrong pronoun to describe a transgender woman.

The Catholic campaigner, known for her deeply held religious views, and Susie Green, the head of the Mermaids charity for transgender children, clashed on ITV’s Good Morning Britain over Girl Guides that allow sex-changed children to join the organisation.

Ms Farrow later called Ms Green’s daughter Jackie “him” instead of “her” on Twitter and said Mermaids promoted child abuse. Five weeks later, Mrs. Green filed a complaint with the police.

One of Mrs Farrow’s tweets read: ‘What she did to her own son? [the youngest person in the world to undergo transgender surgery] is illegal. She mutilated him by having him neutered and sterile as a child.’

Surrey Police’s four-month investigation into Ms Farrow, which caused much controversy when it was made public, was hastily halted as it headed for a complete fiasco.
