Just wanted to share some good news to you that my trial is over and I was found not guilty on all 5 counts of sexual assault.
This thread is purely to give you the news and to let you know that I can now carry on with my life.
Me and my wife plan on trying for a second child and we are planning to go on a well needed holiday too.
Two weeks ago I had no legal representation, and no defence other than myself. My defence case statement was one small paragraph and that had been sent to the prosecution over a year ago.
In the last 6 days a new legal team funded by legal aid got to work and put to bed some very malicious lies made about me.
The allegations against me were utter rubbish and I said this to the police. I feel bitter that the police and CPS made me go through what they forced me to despite the evidence against me being a mere she said he said with no real subsidy. To think that I was facing 2 years in jail, and I would not be able to see my child without supervision, and that I would have to sign the sex offenders register, because of a lying little ****, and now a jury have seen the lies at face value with all odds stacked against me and found me not guilty, is truly remarkable.
During the last year and 6 months I've learned a lot, and I've found a broken legal system in much need of repair, negligent representation all over the place and corruption to the core, a scary reality that probably sees lots of innocent people banged up.
I'm just glad I can move on now, my family are relieved and while the stress won't go away over night, we can start to rebuild our lives which were put on hold for the entire time it took to go to trial.
