Falsly accused of Non Penatrative sexual assault 3 years ago

[Lockyer89]

Hello all long story here!!
A month ago i had a knock on the door from the police and i was arresed on suspiction of non penatrative sexual assault that ellegidly happened 3 years ago.
When i was taken to the polce station i was interviewed where i found out that i my ex girlfriend when i was 16 and she was 14 had gone to the police saying i had sexually assaulted her. This event was discribed vividly by her in her statment and the date was given of this. I was so shocked about this i answered all the polices questions. I had herd that my ex had been saying this through some freinds who told me what she was saying. I was released and was not charged and must return to the police station at a later date.
Since i was arresed i have been thinking and some things hae become apparent. After this date that my ex had described i have witnessed of her coming over to my house to give my mother flowers as she was ill and i always have a present she gave me that was given to me after the date she described. Throughout my statment to the police the police lady asked me if i had ever thought her to be mentally unstable and also they interviewed 2 of my friends where they have asked the same thing.
Obviously i am very worried and scared but i no i have done nothing wrong.
Any ideas of advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have PM'd you.

Hopefully the matter will be dropped but you should expect the worst as then it won't be such a shock.

If you are charged you will need to find a solicitor experienced in defending false allegations of sexual offences. A bog standard solicitor will not do.

Start compiling a list of things that you remember (as you have already mentioned) and add to it as you think about things.

Good luck

I do hope you have chosen one who is experience din dealing with false allegations of sexual abuse. Check out their website if they have one to see if this is mentioned on there.

I have, i went to a few soliciters as myh god father is a very well know corporate loyer he organised some meetings for me.

When i spoke to the police as i had ellegidy sent threatening texts to this person recently they took my phone to search, i no i havnt talked to her in years but i am a little worried that the police have not been in touch regarding my phones, should i be?
thanks

Iit's best your solicitor approaches the police in relation to your mobile. It can take months for the police to get around to investigating a mobile and they sometimes also "forget" about it. Did they give you a receipt for it?

Also, did you receive my PM?

I'm going through a very similar situation right now, just remember no matter what another person lies about you the truth always come out. My situation is that I broke up with my gf because she was making my life hell (she was not working, she became very negative, argumentative even violent) and all these behaviour were affecting me, therefore I decided to call it a day. The evening before we broke up we had a big argument and she attacked me and bruised me in the face. I never attack her back but I pushed her away and I was shouting at her for attacking me and this was the end of our argument. She was at mine that night, I went to sleep and told her we will have to talk about her violent behaviour. anyway, cutting the story short the next day I went to work come back home she'gone. she left my house like a war zone...she destroyed everything I owed. TV, fridge cooker, even cutting electric wires, all my clothes were gone...I dont know how to describe the damage...straight away i called the police...everyone who entered the house was shocked..

2 weeks later she was arrested for criminal damage and assult for the bruises she caused me the night before destroyed my place...
when interviewed she also made allegations against me of rape (saying I force myself to have sex with her) she came up with some random dates that I would not even remember...she was released on bail then a week later I got arrested for her allegations. I told the police the truth, rape in not something I would do, ever done and will never do. Does not fit my character! I had a solicitor who was very helpful in preparing the interview with the police. After the interview I was released straight away but told I have to return....Im now in a possition to prove she lied as I have managed to uncovered what I did the date she gave police that I raped her...What I wanted to know is that if a women is falsely accuse a man for a rape what happened to her? of course anyone who rape another person should be punished. I know I will prove to the police that she is a lie but what happen to someone to engineer such a lie.

Please reply and I will give more detail on the situation and progress, thanks guys!

Don't bank on anything - don't provide proof postive of your alibis as the police will just change the goalposts, give that to your solicitor.

Start making notes of everything that happened, if you've photos to back things up so much the better.

If you don't get charged and taken to court you may well be able to have her charged - RF will know better than me.

I have PM'd you in relation to joining a private forum that is not visible to the surfing public.

Unfortunately the police do have a habit of using alibi evidence by approaching the complainant who then changes her story to fit. The excuse usually used for changing her evidence is that she was so "traumatised" that she got the date wrong.

In the words of the caution is something along the lines of "anything you do not say will be used against you.....etc". I tend to advise that in that case the accused can use the same excuse - "I was so traumatised and my head was all over the place due to the false allegation that it slipped my mind".

Anyway as you've been interviewed the words of the caution won't stand unless you are re-interviewed.

My advice - say nothing.

[utterlydestroyed]

Do not provide evidence of alibias or other indication of defence evidence to the police in interview.

They, police are simply NOT honest & NOT to be trusted!

They will ignore evidence/defence witnesses. or change/move the goal posts! Gather all the evidence you can, get witness statements, do not sit on your arse waiting for the police to do anything to assist...their role is to try to get a prosecution (almost regardless how) AGAINST YOU!

Remember when under caution "SAY NOTHING"

The caution says ...anything you say may be used in evidence AGAINST you, etc.etc.!

Nowhere under caution does it say ....anything you say may be used to help you!

Police suppressed FORTY EIGHT defence witness statements as inadmisable in my own experience!

Once you are accused, regardless of how you might have thought of the police before good or bad ...the second you are accused THEY ARE YOUR ENEMY!

Once you are unfortunate to be accussed, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust a police officer!

...at least that is my experience of Devon & Cornwall Constabulary.

As much as I agree with most of your post - even I wouldn't accept ALL coppers are bent corrupt and on the take, just some !! As with Solicitors and Lawyers not all are there to appease their judicial system in its quest for results and convitions - but a good number of them are !!

In my case only one of the coppers was driving the case and being completely one sided (in the accusers favour) whilst the other was without doubt on myside. However he wasnt a bully and simply incapable of having any influence. You have to remember some are especially trained and some have a good relationship with CPS/Crown so they know their game and whats needed to get results if things go their way - like a soft defence and a few chosen words from your (the accused) or the accusers statement.

Unfortunately we are unable to make lists of bad coppers bad solicitors and false accusers - for all we know a bent copper could have been responsible for multiple cases where innocent people are convicted cos their defence was too soft !!

Thanks for all your advice guys, im due to go back to the police station in a week so il let you know how it all pans out! Two days ago the police called my mother up and asked her what she knew and she just said that i have never been alone with her in the house and explained. Also my best friends was interviewed about it all and apparently she had been telling the police he had been confronting her and shouting abuse at her when he has never done that. I hope all is goinng to be ok i shall just have to wait and see.
Thanks

Also Carnegie i feel for you aswell i just dont get why someone would make something up so obseen its twisted and sick and in the long run they want to try and **** your life up!!! i think people like this should get a huge blow and wake up! i get so angry when i hear people acting like this.

[frankgallagherwasere]

Yip you summed it up in a nut shell these sorts of accusers are sick, sometimes this is all so obvious by their statements and words in court yet sometimes completely missed and side stepped by Barristers.

Its not only an attack on yourself but your whole families reputation, your lucky the Police have taken the trouble to interview so many, they did the minimum amount of work on ours and didnt contact half the people they should have, mind you our defence didnt use them either.

You just have to fight be strong and let them know your on the ball and if they are gonna persue it further your gonna kick their butts

[Lockyer89]

Exactly whaty im going to do, the police were pleasent to me but as everyone says there not to be trusted. I just hope that they realise that shes a twist horribl girl and the things my friends have givent statments and mother has should help me, Whats even worst is that its her mother whos driving all of this shes the most twisted sick woman ever just before i left her darling princess she feels she needs to mess my life up, It annoys me so much what happened to people being honest and trustworthy.
