Hi Guys,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. A few months ago i was travelling home from work. I stopped at a station went to a shop and returned. I stood by the door for 4/5 minutes while waiting to see if work were going to call. When they didnt i proceeded to get on the escalator. I had my works phone and a wallet in my hand. Towards the top my phone slipped and with a jerk forward action grabbed it but in the process of doing this i brushed against the leg of the lady in front of me. She then freaked out saying i had tried to take a photograph up her skirt. I explained it was a work phone and it didnt have a camera. I went with her to staff at station then police. I explained to them it was a works phone. She then said i had "touched" her between the legs. I was arrested and interviewed. Once they had the cctv i was interviewed again. I felt i was harshly treated in the interview with cctv and although it showed no touch my I phone was seized and checked for photo's. It all came back clear. The case was sent to the CPS then came back i was being charged on 1 count of sexual assault. Im going out of my mind with worry as in her statement she accused me of "touching" her 12 inches up from the inside of her knee. I did brush against her but it was more calf/back of knee area. Im due at Magistrates court in a few weeks to enter a plea. Can people advise me on what to expect and costs etc as my solicitor said im unlikely to be entitled to legal aid and if found guilty may have a tag and curfew etc. Please guys i know it may sound minor but im so sick all the time thinking about this. Thanks.
