Can the police really play these games?

[NotSoHappy]

No matter how far fetched an allegation may seem, the police will generally always arrest if the accused is in a position of trust because of their obligation to safeguard vulnerable people. He alleges that he had a one off with me now coming up 4 years ago, a married woman (with absolutely no blot on my record) and that miraculously I've never contacted him since, he never had my phone number and he can't remember my house, or what we did and he can't remember when it was (which is irritating, because my husband did work away 2 days a week for a short period of time, the police are assuming it must have been then). I worked under those conditions because I absolutely loved my job and was passionate about it. Would I go back to it? Not a bloody chance.

Sorry, i am a bit slow. Its just so hard to believe, even for me, and I'm on here lots. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but if a 16 year old boy went to the cops with a "I love her and she loves me" storyline, surly it would be approached with extreme skepticism?

In my case, the accuser went to the police saying how much we had been in love and how she still loved me...and they took it along for 8 months...it was an allegation of touching over the clothes with consent when she was 14 and I was 19. Falseof course...and a ridiculous waste of police resources.

An, now, my carrer is in tatters and my state of mind struggling. It does indeed happen even with the most ridiculous allegations.

Super news, so glad to hear this

Wonderful news!
The numb feeling will disperse. It may well be replaced with anger, depression, grief. These are all very normal. Feel free to come back if you need to.

In the meantime, I am very happy for you
