My son in law was arrested for stranger rape the week their family was relocating to Scotland. He was in prison for 4 weeks and released with a tag but cannot join his family in Scotland. He cant see his children - due to distance, has lost his job, but has been pretty strong knowing that he is innocent and there is no evidence against him, therefore assuming this nightmare will be over sooner or later.
My daughter has phoned me in tears this morning saying that his solicitor told him today that even though there is no evidence against him, this wont go away because of the statement from the girl and that he could still be found guilty. Is this right? No DNA no other evidence ..just a statement that is riddled with discrepancies . no positive ID, no injuries from hospital report.
In short.. nothing. He just happened to have used his debit card at the shop round the corner from where the alleged rape happened and had spoke to the girl who appeared drunk and her friends in passing as he came out of the shop
The CPS did not want to prosecute but the police complained.
This whole scenario beggars belief. I feel so sorry for my daughter,her husband and their children...and just dont know what to do to help them.
Maybe go to the local MP? or contact the papers to highlight what can happen in this country...
My son in law cannot join his family in Scotland as they dont have the same laws as England apparently....this is going to go on till court date which is March time next year and then.....oh.. it just doesn't bear thinking about
Does anyone know how he could at least live with his family whilst this is going on and not be forced to live hundreds of miles away
