Hi everyone, am new to this and the forum so please excuse me if i seem to ramble.
Last wednesday afternoon the police knocked on our door looking for a man with a similar name to my husbands nobody was really sure who they were looking for so they came in to ask a few questions. To cut a long story short my husband has been accused by somebody of raping them 17 years ago!
My husbands parents were foster carers at that time and the accuser was fostered by them. My husband was 30 at the time and had recently moved back home with them as his marriage had broken down. The police wouldnt give any details of when, where and how many times she thinks she was raped only have asked him to ring the police station tomorrow to arrange a time to be interviewed, They have told him he will probably get bail on that day.
The problem we face is that the accuser would only have been 14 at the time of the alleged rape and although at the time he was in a new relationship with me i was only 16 (nearly 17) to his 30 and also fostered by his parents, i would assume that altho we are still together 17 years later married with 4 children this really doesnt look good. We lived in a busy house that was never empty so there would never have been an oppertunity for a rape to have taken place by anyone let alone my husband who worked all day and then spent all his evenings and weekend with me.
I am amazed that the accuser could have lived in the same house as my husband for nearly a year and he supposedly raped her yet she cant remember his name and also that if she was so scared to report it before that 6 years ago she was eating in the same restaurant as us and came and sat with us for a chat! My husband is very scared he will get charged for an act he could never have commited and i am so scared my life is falling apart in front of me and there is nothing i can do about it, any help really would be appreciated x
