Just wanted to put my story here in the hope I recieve some positive advice from anyone who has experienced this awful situation I find myself in.
Me and a friend have both been accused of rape. We found out the police were looking for us but only had photos of us so we contacted them to confirm it was us they were looking for. We are now to go for an interview on Saturday, we were both more than willing to give our side of the story as we've nothing to hide but upon some online reading in forums ect it doesnt seem that this is the best idea? I've contacted a solicitor and am meeting them today, my friend has also done this. The inspector I spoke to on the phone was giving off a vibe to us that we shouldn't worry too much and that they only want to interview us to get our side. He was saying things like not to inform our partners of this as there was no point in ruining relationships over it and that girls also get charged with wasting police time, he also assured us that theres no chance we'd be remanded and urged us to make sure our story was the same (which it would be without us even discussing it) Thing is he told us that they had cctv of us in the club with this girl and they have her statement and that of a friend (the friend was only in the club and the incident was alleged to have happened in my freinds house) other than that they cant have any evidence other than her word against ours, I think and I hope that theres far more evidence in support of us than her. Like the cctv WILL show her all over me in the club and her leaving freely with us. Thing is it was HER who asked me to take her home. I can't believe she is saying this, I'm still in shock. I'd even do a lie detector test. She's obviously a pretty nasty peice of work, she's potentillay going to ruin 2 innocent peoples lives, I have a great job opportunity come January that i've worked so hard for, i'm gutted.
Please help....with anything. I just want it over with.
Thanks.
