Advice Needed

[Brewster0210]

Hello All

I really need some advice and cannot seem to find anything online so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

My partner was found not guilty back in May this year after a year of absolute hell and we have started to get our lifes back on track but had some gutting news yesterday..
It seems the 'victim' has applied for compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board and has been awarded £11,000 for what she has been put through!! We are absolutlely devastated as she has lost nothing throughout this whole ordeal and has now been given this large amount of tax payers money for making these shocking lies and nothing more!
When the case was looming we had to move out of our homes for the whole year (as she lives on the same street as us), yet were still paying for the mortgage and bills as we had hoped it could get dropped at anytime.. had to move in with my parents and spend a fortune on commuting to work and socialising with friends - therefore lost a heck of a lot of money which we will never get back.

I know this is probably quite common however I just cannot get my head around the fact SHE has been awarded for making up all these lies, when HE was found not guilty! (and the board knows this!)

She is now going around the village telling people she is going to take her kids to America and they will be doing the house up - she really has no shame! I say she has lost nothing, however absolutely nobody believes her (including her own family and friends) or speaks to her anymore, so I suppose in that sense she has lost out, but she totally deserves it.

Throughout the whole ordeal my partner was adamant that he would make her pay (financially) for ruining his life, but when he was cleared he realised it was more important to just get back to living our lives as much as we could and was quite happy to just leave it. But now we have found this out we really cannot just leave it.. there has got to be some kind of organisation or board that is on the guys side and that can help with the aftermath of the trauma.

As I said I would really appreciate it if someone could give us some advice as we really need it.

Many Thanks

I am afraid the only advice I could give would echo your partner's...you need to concentrate on healing and moving past this yourselves

Any further action would be fruitless and expensive and, worst of all, the accuser would still be having an effect on your life.
If the government wish to waste the tax payers money on scum like that then so be it, do not let it affect that your man was proven innocent and declared as such. No amount of dirty money can taint your righteous victory and justice.

Let her take her grubby money and bog off to America...good riddance to her I say! Her money won't keep her heart at peace...but your man's innocence will keep yours.
Focus on your own recovery.

Brewster,

My partner also won his case... only difference we didnt know if the accuser claimed compensation, but the anger is still there that she goes unpunished. For months I hold on to the anger...and it was so hard until I get tired with it.

At some point we have to move on with our lives or we will only be ruining our lives by ourselves. We are given a chance to move on with our lives, we have to remember we could have been in a worse condition than this.

That money that woman had will run out one day, but her conscience is not clear and one day in her death bed she would look back and she had that on her conscience. What would she say to her Maker..how would she justify her action? For all our sufferings we will be blessed also...we might have lost money or our lives could have been in limbo..but we will gain it back and face our Maker proudly that we handled this situation well.

I pray you would soon get over this anger or at least it would fade away.. it is not a nice feeling.. I have been there also and there are moments it comes back too.. be strong!

I would like to thank Brewster,Faith and Fighter for these posts.

I am in the same position even if I am not sure she claimed for compensation but
beeing falsely accused did cost me .0 000£

I have the best thing a man could dream of and it is freedom.
But psychologically and financially...

At least we have our pride and feel stronger.

Take care Brewster.

Brewster,
I really do sympathise and empathise with you.
My husband has also had to move out as it was the next door neighbour that falsely accused him. We are still awaiting the police "investigations" , on how this will proceed, after 4 months. We are also suffering emotionally and financially. I just dream of the day when he is "no crimed" and she is charged with perverting the course of justice, but I realise that is not going to happen. The best we can hope for is NFA., Whatever, she will continue her "meaningful" life on benefits.
Like your case, only her family believe her, the neutrals treat the police as a laughing stock. From what I have read, all you can do is contact your MP, but I believe that doesnt do much good either. But I still intend to do it, and report this police force for incompetance to the IPCC. If nothing else, it will give them extra paperwork, and make us feel a tad better.
If you do find out there IS something you can do to correct this disgusting situation, please let me know.
Thinking of you and all the best x

Just a thought - do you know if she claims benefits? If she does, make sure the benefits office now about this £11,000.
