This will be down to the judge as to what will happen in the Abuse of Process hearing.

A decision should be made then with regards to the waiver with regards to your request for "the complainant to withdraw the right of confidentiality with US lawyers".

if the waiver is signed that means that what happened and/or was said in the US could be disclosed to the CPS at least and then to defence, if the judge allows.

There isn't anything that you personally can do at this stage.

keep calm

My main worry is that I will be sent to HMP Liverpool as my trial is at Liverpool Crown Court. That particular prison has a terrible track record when it comes to vulnerable prisoners from what I have read. If I am convicted, I believe I will be the first to be convicted of marital rape without any other violence involved.

i'm not sure about what hmp liverpool is but all i can say is cross that bridge as and if you ever come to it. there has been a massive shake up recently regarding the prison system and a lot of money is being put into it. i will do some more digging to find out more information. just remember prison is the worst that can happen not what is going to happen

that's fine

Hi Anon - thanks for this. Is it possible to privately message you - as I don't want to be too specific on a public forum, thinking about it. But yes, I was talking about the accused and there being an absence of criminal intent.
Cheers.

nnot sure if i'm able to use the private messages yet as i'n still a newbie on here time wise. it's all up to the admin people. but as soon as i'm able then i am more than happy to help in any way that i can

Cheers! I didn't know you couldn't send private messages on here! I saw that someone had done or was intending to and just assumed. Cheers

You've reached the post count so the system will let you send/receive pm's when 10 days have elapsed from registration. (obviously the same applies to Sqounk)

As I mentioned in my post above this is a most generous offer and I venture to suggest that with 5 years study under your belt that there won't be much that you can't answer. (as well as having 'inside' knowledge!)

If you are in agreement, and don't mind a deluge of replies, could I suggest you put together some sort of introductory post summarizing this invitation and the limitations thereof, which I will then 'sticky' somewhere appropriate in the forum (probably the 'Useful Information' section)

I will only do this once you are able to receive pm's as obviously it will not be a good idea to put any contact details on this public forum.

Please remember that all cases are different. What you may have experienced in your case can be completely different to what others have or will experience.

Knowing or learning "the law" cannot and does not equate with experience. I've known some really bad solicitors and barristers who have studied for years. Conversely, I have known some hardworking legal execs, paralegals trainee sols who want to make their mark early on, so will go out of their way to help.

It is always better to ask the serious legal questions regarding a specific case to the solicitor who has conduct of the case (or barrister if a case has progressed that far).

Also, just to clarify, lay advice and legal advice can be obtained from many sources at no cost whatsoever.

Anon, I do hope you learn a lot from some of the people you are able to assist here. You might find though, that it might be better discuss in here so that others can learn from the answers.
