Dear All,
I have a brother in law who is 18 years old with downs syndrome/special needs. Yesterday Wednesday he was falsely accused of raping another boy also with special needs at his school for children with special needs that they both attend.
He and my mother in law (his carer) were taken into the Police station yesterday, where he has 2 lengthy interviews and DNA samples appear to have been taken from him. He is now out apparently on bail? and is at home with his mother. A solicitor was not present. Something appears to have happened to the other boy involved but I cannot believe anything has occurred due to my brother in law, because the other boy is much larger and that after repeated questioning from all corners my brother knows nothing about this.
I am currently working overseas and cannot be there to help, but am trying to remain level headed within the family and offer practical support to my mother in law who is obviously very very upset.
Please please can someone provide details of a solicitor near the Colchester / Essex area that my mother in law can speak to urgently. I think if the Police are being so formal, my upset mother in law needs someone who can talk to someone who can act on her behalf.
Please help, and many thanks for any assistance, I have also e-mailed this to FASO. Please respond asap.
