Hi Hun,
You found us so thats good. You will find support and good infomation and help here.
Im so sorry this is happening to your Son all i can say is get him a good solicitor and dont tell the police anything, they are not his friend.
And if you feel like you do come on here as we do understand the stress of a FALast edited by Shah; 16 January 2016, 10:48 PM. -
Sorry you had to find us- it's like joining an exclusive club.
Please don't do anything rash- your son will need you to be there for him- it seems quite often we females are the support mechanisms for them.
If i can ask how long after the alleged offence did she make the complaint?
In these cases you have to be your own detective- the police are not interested in anything that may prove his innocence.
Make a time line , consider any possible witness- and try to make sure he has a good defence team.
keep posting- there are so many of us travelling this long and arduous journey who can give support and adviceThey tried to bury us- they didn't know we were seedsComment

That really is one you couldn't make up!!
Are there any witnesses to her being "bundled into a pick up"?
I can't see where, at any point in this story, your son was supposed to have committed the offence.
Does he have a time scale for the sequence of events?They tried to bury us- they didn't know we were seedsComment

its was hubby and grandson in my showgun its not a pick up . the time scale from them leaving the venue to being arrested was 50 mins ,she had phoned our house number so when police arrived the house phone rang again by police office to confirm they had right personComment

A warm welcome to you................but what a horrendous experience for you all.
It all seems ridiculous ........ I would love to be a fly on the wall (in your son's case and many other's) when they make these decisions and how they come to them.
The threshold seems to be very low in respect of evidence.
Being on the receiving end of an FA is horrendous............. the continuous anxiousness, the not knowing what is going on.
Now your son has been charged, it is his opportunity to fight back and build his defence. An experienced and good sol. is so important.
Hang on in there. You will receive lots of support on here.
