Hi all,
I'm a little confused by whats happening to me at the moment. A few months ago I was detained by the police for allegations of sexual contact with a minor. i was held in custody and interviewed (duty solicitor was present). At the interview I was formally arrested and charged on 2 counts (I cant remember the specifics of the charges). I was detained overnight and taken to court the following morning. At court I was placed in a cell. I was given a brief chat with the duty sol where he explained I would be taken to the judge and asked to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges, if not guilty I would then have to agree to bail conditions before being released.
A few hours later I was taken from my cell, handed back my possesions and asked to sign a form for them. I queried what was happening and was told I was being released. I asked why and was told the charges were dropped as they didn't have enough evidence. I then left and after a brief meeting with the duty sol the following day i went about my life as normal.
All was well until recently when my work found out, i was placed on suspension and am possibly not far from dismissal now. initially they said they had recieved information from a member of the public but later said it was the police that informed them.
What I dont understand is if I was released seemingly with NFA why is this happening now? The police took my phone and never returned it, I was led to believe this was standard procedure with them. They wont find anything on it other than corroboration that texts she sent and recieved were too and from me. My solicitor finds the whole episode of events really strange as do I.
In the interview the only apparent evidence they had were textmessages and the possibility of dna from her clothing.
We were close friends, possibly not the most conventional friendship you would find but it came about due to a mutual interest. She had issues and i had issues and we spent a lot of time helping each other through them when no one else would listen. Their were a lot of tears and hugs but nothing more. I was devastated when i learnt of the allegations and don't understand what I have done to upset her so much. Perhaps i treated her with more maturity than she deserved. She was 15 at the time and I was early thirties. The allegations were made about 6 months after we last spoke.

anyone going through any stage of a FA is going through a living hell, regardless - not to mention if someone - like timetofightback - thought everything was over and then it starts all over again.......
