Charged today: Advice Appreciated

[JAYP]

Hello

I was advised to check this forum out as I have been having a really hard time dealing with the emotional and of course legal outfall from an allegation that was made against me last October.

I really hoped this wouldn't be pursued by the CPS based on the fact that a lot of the lies should have been fairly apparent but I have nonetheless been charged today under section 1 and section 2.

It was an unusual situation where myself and my friend met a group of 3 people at a pub and offered them a lift. The flirting escalated quickly with the friend engaged in sexual activity with the 2 people in the back and later I ended up having what I believe to be consensual sex with the 3rd. We laughed and joked the whole time and after and when dropping them off where they asked we sat and chatted a while and even kissed and exchanged phone numbers.

As I am sure most of you on here are painfully aware this is the most shocking and harrowing experience that you are likely to ever go through. On top of it social services have refused unsupervised contact with my daughter who I have always had a lot of involvement with. She is heartbroken that we cannot co camping and to the cinema and travel and do all of the fun stuff we used to and doesn't really understand the severity of the situation. I am trying to approach that with the greatest sensitivity but now that I have been charged it will be publicised and will no doubt create more damage.

I am hoping that someone can advise on a specialist solicitor in the east midlands area. I have checked the forum here on solicitors and have called a few without any real success. I have approximately 1 month before the initial court appearance and really want to make sure I am represented by someone with real experience in this area. I really wish I could afford to enlist private representation but I simply cannot.

If anyone can advise on some experts in the east midlands/north east midlands who can offer legal aid assistance I would be very grateful.

Kind Regards

JAYP

Sorry you find yourself here it really is a crappy horrible road to be on, the best thing you can do now is fight pick every lie out and prove your innocence.

Did you live with your daughter why did social services get involved if you don’t mine me asking sounds very wrong you should not be allowed to see her.

Indeed Farmer42, I appreciate you probably know what kind of torment this is. I don't live with my daughter anymore, so that has been I suppose a good thing in terms of shielding her a little from the severity but that will change soon and I am worried about the huge effect this is having on her state of well being.

The accuser lied about their age, and I am bitterly disappointed to tell you that I subsequently found out she was under the legal age of consent, I was horrified when I found out, from a moral perspective as much as anything but also the fact that it went from what seemed a 'normal' sexual encounter (i emphasise normal there as I have never engaged in a spontaneous situation like that before) to a vicious FA.

I am trying to keep sane in the midst of it all and have sought some good legal advice already.

Thanks

Yes mate sadly i do know how you feel, just keep in mind this is not forever nothing is so it will pass.

As for the age issue you met in a pub assuming all freinds were of the same age and all drinking case closed. How could you know.

What i do is think of ways to handle the worst if i am wrongly convicted i will apeal fight and use my jail time to go gym and pick up nee skills in education.

If the truth finally comes out and im free its straight on my motorbike to Italy.
This way i am prepared for all outcomes.


I have a 5 week old son so he keeps my going take the same view from your daughter. Life does go on for us all.

A freind of mine told me someone in hospital somewhere would love to have the chances i do,we have health the rest will sort it self out.
