It has recently come to the attention of my wife & myself that our son (my Stepson) has been accused of rape. My stepson has offered little or no details however as he lives with us we are determined to get to the bottom of this.
We only became aware of the allegation after several individuals approached us asking how our son was coping with the allegation. It seems that the accuser who he has had a brief sexual relationship with, made the allegation in a full public house. It seems that CID were involved & as they have not visited our home or as far as we are aware he has not been arrested have dismissed the allegation.
Our concern is that as we live a small village there will always be an element harbouring "the no smoke without fire" attitude. We would ideally like to press this despicable individual to issue a written apology. What is our recourse through a solicitor?, we are not seeking compensation, just an indication that the allegation was made completely falsley. We look forward to your advice.
