  • How do I help my son?

    Before I start I would like to say Thank you for reading this,and although I know you cant solve my problem, I would be grateful for some understanding of what the worst case sinario is for my son.

    My son has been accused of sexual assult? His cousin has said that he touched her and made her touch him (dont want to go into details)
    This apparently happened from 2005-2012 . Making my son 11-18 and her 7-14 years old.
    It was supposed to of taken place when my ex took him to see his family,so I was not there.

    My son is now 23 and expecting his 1st child in July.

    My son has severe dyslexia and word understanding issues( he dont understand big words( dont know if that is relivant))

    He went to the police station for an interview,being told by the police he didnt need a solisitor (but could have one if he wanted ),as it would just make this longer to sort out.
    Hes very trustworthy so took their word ,big mistake I know.

    They told him it was his word against hers and would probably be dropped. Fast forward 6 weeks and the CPS have decided that he must go to court.

    I have now sorted him a solisitor,so that part is covered.Apparently the only evidence they need is her statement.

    As you can imagine this is devistating to all of us.He is so confused as he didnt do any of this....he didnt even have a girlfriend till he was 17,he wasnt interested in girls.

    As a mother I am desperate to help him. He has anxiety and depression issues already,Im so worried for him.

    He is convinced that even though he has not done anything(and the though sickens him) that because she was so young and being female,that he will be found guilty because of her statement. He has no clue how he can prove this all to be wrong.

    Nobody is telling him anything at the moment....like will he be charged as an adult? what is the worst case sinario? How long could he get in prison? ( He wouldnt last 5 mins in prison)

    He has to go to court april 10th and will see his solisiter the week before,once they have all the transcripts from his and her statements.

    Please help me, im desprate for information on how to prepare for the worst.

    Sorry for my bad spelling and thank you for reading x

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    You will get lots of support and advice as many members are in the same situation as yourself i.e. mums supporting sons falsely accused of sexual offences

    [I have copied this introductory post to the Falsely Accused section of the forum as any replies will be better posted over there than here]
