  • Partner Accused of Rape

    Hi there. I'm in the same boat as a lot of you out there. Basically, my other half has been falsely accused of rape. This all happened before I knew him but I've been with him for quite a few years now and he has never done anything like what he's been accused of. Basically (being a stupid young guy sowing his wild oats), he was having a relationship with one girl and ended up having a fling (it just happened the once) with one of her best friends (whose deceased dad was a copper and she's a ******* who sleeps around a lot). His girlfriend found out who told her very vindictive mum (whose been looking into compensation even before a trial date's been set) and now he's been accused of 2 rapes and a dozen other charges.

    We're now in the process of changing solicitors because his current one has no faith in him and believes that he's guilty.

    He's also currently on remand (for jumping bail as he was scared) and has had a hard time of it.

    My-self and his family have been going through a whole rollercoaster of emotions but the best bit of advice I can give this. Just try and stay as strong as possibly for them as you can. Don't show any signs of weakness and try (if you're in a similar situation) to make your man write down as much as they can remember about the relationship and what kind of person the accuser is as it may help.

    At the end of day if you are accused of rape then you are generally guilty until being proved innocent. And from his experience he lost practically all of his friends apart from 1 because of this.

    So stay strong and just keep loving them.

    Hello

    I know all too well about the stigma, the lies and worst of all i know about the horror of being innocent and being found guilty and sentenced to 10 years.

    My boyfriend was also held on remand, i think if he wasnt he would never have let it get as far as the trial and got convicted of a horrific crime that he didnt commit.

    Its been 3 months now since the verdict, im slowly trying to come to terms with it, while waiting to get to the appeal stages, its something to have a little hope for, although i dont hold my breath for one minute.

    Im still filled with anger, frustration, hurt, confusion...the list is endless.

    If i can be of any help or support to you, just ask. Sometimes you will both feel like no one understands, but you are not alone.

    Good luck & best wishes to you both.

    Be strong
