Hi Everyone.
As its still an active case Ill be careful not to say too much. However about 5 months ago I was arrested for a rape accusation by a friend who I was having a casual relationship with. I was told that I should hear within 16 weeks but I've heard nothing and its still with the CPS so its still just a waiting game.
After reading some posts on here it could well be a long road so I'm going to try not think about it.
BTW I'm an overthinker about EVERYTHING! Its had me in serious bouts of anxiety and depression. Theres good things happening in my life but its marred by the thought of this case. I go from "It's fine, you're innocent" to "You're going to prison and going to get beaten and blah blah" Worrying about corrupt police, biased judges etc (with no reason to suspect this btw) So you can see how my brain works!
So this forum may well be good for me.
I've read some conflicting stats so I'm going to avoid reading too much about conviction rates, what happens if its just my word against hers (I used to think it would always go the way of the 'victim') There's alcohol involved in my case and that adds other factors to consider.
Its just a total mind **** isn't it. Especially when, as a 32 year old who previously was following a religious life style, I have only been sexually active for less than a year and this person is only the second I've ever slept with and she was a friend who I thought had a potential future with!)
Anyway. I may post more info or feel free to ask questions but thought I'd just say hi for now.
Thanks
