Let's hope that the messages from the complainant sent after the alleged offence make no mention of it.

My Grandson assures me that there was nothing mentioned,we have also found messages on a social network site between them and nothing was said,even in the private messages.
The only evidence on the phone are photos and messages about meeting up the following week.
you need to get professional help - do not believe in innocence - our police don't so we shouldn't.
We do have a Solicitor dealing with this plus he has Navy personnel giving him very good support.
I don't really understand the delay and am just praying that it is a good thing as if they had any real evidence they surely would have charged him?

I would doubt that it would be a Court Martial as Services tend to hand over to civil court in the uk and germany unless it is a purely military offence, That said they are very supportive until you are convicted.

One of my group members is in the army. He was falsely accused of sexual offences by somebody on his base. His matter was Courts Martialled - he was found not guilty and is still in the army.
Up to yet the military have not been involved other than giving support and advice,I pray that it won't go any further but if it does I believe that they have a legal department that would take over.
They have been really good so far,just telling him to get on with his normal duties but that is far from easy for him.
Second bail hearing is due later today and my head is swimming with all of the scenarios that could happen,I have never felt so low in all of my life,I really don't think I can take much more anxiety.
To think that this could take away my Grandson's carreer is just too much to bear,he is a kind respectful young man and is terrified.
Meanwhile she is swanning around town as though nothing is wrong,has a new boyfriend and is getting on with her life,hardly a traumatised victim!
I have never prayed so hard in all of my life but still feel so alone and helpless.
Dear midnight and worried
It is understandable you feel soooo bad, this is an awful thing to see any one going through and it is understandable that your grandson is terrified. Seems par for the course that these awful women seem to get on with their lives without a care in the world and they should be truly ashamed of themselves, they have no comprehension of what they are doing to these men and their families. Try to stay strong, I know it's hard, and please let us know how things go.
Just got back from the Police Station,bailed again for four weeks.The officer did apologise and said that they were waiting for bits to send to the CPS whatever that means.
Can I read anything into the fact that the case has been passed down from the DS originally in charge of it to a DC,I know I may be clutching at straws but am hoping that they don't think it a viable case.
If anyone could answer this I would be grateful,does the military have solicitors who represent servicemen or would I need to appoint a civilian one,at the moment he only has the duty solicitor who wasn't even present today and I find that alarming.
If I do could anyone tell me a solicitor in the Kent area who I could consult.
The lad has been bailed three times now,fortunately he is home based at the moment but I'm sure it won't be long before he is due to be deployed again and he won't be able to join his ship while this is going on.
He is going to speak to his Duty Officer tonight so I may know a bit more afterwards but now I need to know the best way forward.
Received a phone call from my solicitor yesterday to say that the Police had refused charge,bail has been cancelled and finally,for my Grandson,the nightmare is over.
I just want to thank everyone on this site who have given me such sound advice and so much support.
We were all so elated yesterday but I must admit that today I feel really deflated,I suppose it will take some time for the news to actually sink in so that we can get some normality back in our lives.
