I really need some advise here, about one month ago I recieved a call from my brother who told me my Fathers house had been raided because his IP address had been pinged some two years ago on an illegal website, subsequent inquiries of his PC show thumbnail images of him orally raping his grand daughter, my sisters daughter. She has given video evidence last week, (she is 12), it has been a long on going abuse. He has been arrested and I believe charged. He lives some distance from me.
I was asked by the OIC to bring my wife and two girls (late teenagers), along to be interviewed concerning my Father, once there I was arrested for touching my niece 6-7 years ago, she was 14-15 at the time of the supposed incident. This is alleged to have happened in my sisters house, just the once and I was arrested for sexually touching, she alleges that she had had a few vodkas ( I knew nothing about), I had let her drink a couple of my beers, she alleges that she fell asleep on the sofa, it was late around 12am and that she woke up and that my hand was down her trousers on her vagina, (no penetration), she said she screamed and run up stairs where I ran after her. This is a complete fabrication.
The facts are I had had a go at her and talked to her for about an hour as to my she had pissed my wife off for not sending a thank you letter for Birthday and X-mas presents etc, she got really upset, cried, I comforted her said I didn't mean to upset her, she stopped crying and I went for a cigarette outside, when I came back she had fallen asleep, I sat down on the arm chair, she was asleep on the sofa, I finished my beer, shook her shoulder and told her its bed time, she and I both went to seperate bedrooms.
After being arrested, I was interviewed with my the duty solicitor, he told me what the allegation was, I recounted the above to him and to the police at interview. They of course raided my house, took all computer and camera equipment etc. I am not concerned with that as I know there is nothing on any PC's laptops etc.
My wife has thrown me out all but two friends have disowned me, my former closest friend is now sent me two text messages threatening me and has come looking for me twice, both times I have ignored him, however it is intimidating. Now the thing is in the first text message last Friday he names a police officer as having told him that I have bad mouthed him to her, she is the wife of a friend of mine of over 30 years who is also an officer. Surley a police officer who is not involved in the case, maybe on a personal issue because she knows me is inciting some sort of violence towards me here.
I telephoned my solicitor and have kept the txt messages, his advise was to call the OIC and recount what I told him, I have phoned the OIC twice and left a message asking to call me, there is no response. I will be ringing my solicitor again tommorow at his request.
A little background, I have no convictions for any sexual crimes or been arrested for anything to do with sexual crimes before, I know I have nothing to worry about regarding the computer and camera seized from my home, and there will be no one else coming out of the woodwork to say I did this to them etc. However I am worried out of my mind, my youngest daughter came to see me at work two days ago, my wife told her not to get in touch with me, she thought she was breaking the law, however the questions she aked me about the offence, aroused my suspicions and I suspect the police and or my wife sent her in to talk to me. You see what is going on her I have become so paranoid, I can't move away as all my friends and family are used up, I'm in a small minded town, my business is there, I'm constantly looking over my shoulder here. I have been bailed till mid November, but I dont think I can go on too much longer.
Does any body have some advise, if you have an unblemished character and this one accusation, nothing else what is going to be the likley outcome here? My solicitor said he would doubt that charges would be brought, but I need to know that should it all go wrong what am I looking at here? Thanks for reading, please help.
