Son falsely accused of raping step sister !

[RFLH]

more of the same - but if they do want to re-question, don't - until you are legally represented - say nothing until then - even if they do try to draw you into conversation.

[Faith]

RFLH is right. They may well try and draw you into a casual chat as you wait for representation.

Your reply should be a polite: 'I'm sorry I would rather not say anything until I speak with my legal representative'

Hi J
Thinking about you all. Stay strong for tomorrow and I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight. Sending you strength and hugs. xx

[J&PVTHW]

Thank you all again for your support you truly are amazing !!

I did manage to get a few hours sleep last night which i feel better for today.

Our solicitor is attending with us so there will be no casual chats.

I will keep you posted on the outcome later on today.

lots of love xx

[RFLH]

Hope all goes well for you.

[Faith]

Thinking of you. Glad you have your solicitor in tow.
if they don't want to re-interview you, it should really just be a fairly quick in and out.

[Izzy]

Hope it goes well for you too.

It's good you have your solicitor with you, even if you don't need him it will be good
to know there won't be any casual chats and you have someone there to back you up if needed.

Thinking of you both.

Re bailed unti June

My son was accompanied by our solicitor when answering bail and the arresting officer did not bother to turn up at the station our solicitor had to phone him to ask him questions about the rebail.

Our solicitor could not understand why my son has had to stay at another address when social services have stated that they are not interested or concerned for my daughter.

On challenging the custudy sargent and then the arresting officer on the telephone he was told that although my son could come home at any time he must be supervised at all times because we have a minor living at the address. Our solicitor stated that there has been no complaint from my daughter and nobody has felt the need to interview her so there are obvlously no issues for her safety. This was again upheld by the officer stating that my son could sneek into my daughters bedroom when myself and my husband are asleep so would not be taking the risk.
Infact, when releasing my son on bail until June they changed the wording on the bail sheet to include he must sleep and reside at his bailed address. Last time it was only reside. This is obviously what you get for challenging your bail conditions, nice country we live in!!

CPS still have the file as a senior CPS solicitor has to make a decision due to the nature of the case.

[felix]

Actually it is two specialist CPS solicitors, not a senior one unless your case is somehow 'special'....

[J&PVTHW]

Felix,

Every False accusation is a torture for the accused and their family. I was in no way insinuating that my case was any way more special than anybody elses.

[felix]

Sorry I did not mean to sound critical - just to warn you that it is always a slow and tedious procedure and that two CPS solicitors is needed to say NFA and for rape it is two specialist solicitors who are relatively uncommon beasts. In my case, for procedural reasons, even two were apparently not enough and the case was escalated - no idea why really? No idea what makes a case 'special'.

Today, coming onto the site i am in absolute despair reading Sadman's posts.

Over and over again i am reading the same outcome of how innocent people are being treated when trying to defend themselves.

Terrified today

[Rights Fighter]

Hang on in there. Apologies for not being around to answer but have been back in London the last two days. I'll adjust my PM setting so you can contact me direct.

[Faith]

Please remember that Sadman may well be looking at his case from a negative perspective.

There's nothing to say that the right result still won't come for him.
Hearing the evidence against you is never going to be nice and in a way, it's better that the jury were hanging onto the accuser's every word rather than sitting back half-listening...as many do!!

Remember every case is different. Try not to let the misfortunes and doubts of other cases leave you feeling hopeless.

[Izzy]

Very true Faith but I must admit it had the same effect on me.

J&PVTHW maybe you should step back from the forum for a few days, I find sometimes it helps as I dwell too much after reading everyones posts.

I'm here if you need someone to talk to
