Hello. I am a foreigner and spent 6 months in the UK for a exchange program of my university. One day I went to a pub and met a girl who invited me back to her place, where we had sex. Everything looked normal, she was participative and enthusiastic about the whole thing and in the next morning I gave her my number and left. 3 days later she texted me accusing me of assaulting her. 3 months later I was arrested and take into an interview with the police. The detective was super nice, told me I would be released right after the interview and at all time made it look like the case would not go to court. Everytime he mentioned the development of the case he said "IF this goes to court". At the time I was super ashamed of the accusation and didn't accepted a solicitor because I didn't wanted anybody to know about the situation, what know seems like a horrible mistake.
They took my phone for inspection, but only that and never released me on bail, just a normal release. I told them when I was going back home and they didn't seemed to care, even though my homecountry is famous for not extradicting their citizens. The interview happened almost 6 months ago and I haven't heard anything about it.
The problem is that I am terrified and cannot sleep proprely ever since. Is there anything I have to do? The fact that they released me and took 3 months to interview me points that the case won't go foward? Should I email the detective about the case? Although I think that I will not be arrested, since I never assaulted the girl and never intended to make her feel bad in anyway, I am really afraid of having to go to court.
Even if there is nothing I can do now, i appreciate you reading this post. I haven't told anyone about what happened and I am feeling horrible inside. Being able to share this experience with people in similar situations is really comforting.
