Hi everyone,
8 years ago I was arrested for a rape allegation from my former partners eldest daughter.
She said when she was 11 years old I touched her in a very inappropriate way and reported it to her mother 6 years later, long after I had left.
She had 2 daughters who I adored and loved with all my heart, when we separated it was heartbreaking but I wanted the girls to know I was still
There dad and would still want to see them, and I did at least once a fortnight.
I met someone new, married and had a daughter of 1 year old. And was still seeing the girls even though my new wife did not understand why, as they
Were not biologically mine but they were my girls none the less, I raised them from the ages of 1 and 4 and was with their mother for 7 years.
As time went on I cut back on the visits as being pressurised from my new wife to focus on our daughter.
It turns out the accusation came the day my daughter was born, and the girls were supposed to be coming to the hospital to see her but never arrived.
Needless to say I was arrested and questioned, a year later it went to court and it took the jury all of 25 mins to find me not guilty.
None of the allegations she made happened, I was absolutely devastated 8 years later I still find it hard to talk about and still cannot for the life of me understand
why she did this. Numb would be the only way I can describe it now, but a few years ago I would not have even been able to type this out.
The point I am getting too is that even though found not guilty, I applied for a job that required a eCRB and to my absolute horror all the details of the case including there own
input was attached to it, needless to say I did not get the job and was told I could appeal the information on the eCRB which I did but it was pointless they refused to remove it.
It states in no specific terms I should not be permitted to work with children, indirectly I do as I go into schools to fix equipment so they have in affect made me unemployable.
There was as far as I am aware no recommendations from the court and the information on the eCRB was the proceedings of the case but put in such a way as make it impossible for
me to work for any company that requires a eCRB check which is my entire career gone.
Is there anything else I can do?
