5 months of a false allegation

[PManPatch]

At the end of January I had a consenting one night stand with a lady I met on a night out.
4 nights later I was arrested following an allegation of rape.
I was interviewed and released on pre charge bail. At the start of april bail expired and I was re-arrested for sexual assault during the same incident. I then was interviewed for the second time where they tried asking crafty tricky questions based on my first
interview.
I was told my case was being sent to prosecution service and they phoned me a month later to get the contact details of a friend who was with me when I met the lady that night and saw us dancing, drinking and kissing.
We had both been drinking in 3 different establishments and went for fast food which we ate on the way to my home.
We were both drunk and were refused entry from one pub and asked to leave another. She was more drunk than me but not really badly drunk.
We sat in a fast food restaurant waiting for food for appox 5 mins and from memory she was trying to fix her e cig. Police have the cctv of this.
We talked for a while once we did the 5 min walk back to my house and then engaged in sexual activity, I checked on 2 occasions that she ok with this.
When we both woke up, she seemed fine. She had no money on her so I gave her the money for a taxi. I also gave her a drink of lemonade and 2 anti-hangover milk thistle tablets.
I phoned her a taxi from my phone and we exchanged numbers.
From the 2 interviews, I gathered that she claims to have blacked out between approx 19:30 until we woke up at 6am. She was sleeping for at least 5 of those hours. She also says she only realised sex had taken place when she woke up.
I have freely admitted that sex took place. She actually said she is having flashbacks of it taking place in a different position which we did not partake in??
Im really determined to avoid being charged for something so hideous that I also did not do.
I used the same duty solicitor at both interviews. He has not done much during the interviews but has offered me moral support the odd time i have phonedhim.
If the police have tried (unsuccessfully) twice to charge me, does that mean prosecution servcoe
will also struggle?

Hello and welcome to the forum (with the usual caveat that sorry that you needed to search for us!)

Sadly there are numerous posts with a similar theme to yours on the database here and quite often there is a existing partner in the background who engenders guilt/regret or may even find out about the 'away match' and the subsequent accusation is a way of deflecting blame. It would be helpful for your own state of mind if you could find an explanation for the accusation, though how you could now go about it now I've no idea...her social media?

I hope I'm correct in thinking that police can make charging decisions in a summary only case but if it's likely to be transferred to crown court (as a rape allegation would be) the CPS must make the decision to charge.

There are very few active members on the forum nowadays but the quality of these is excellent

A very dated post from the 'Useful Information' section of the forum which you may find of interest....

Thank you for getting back to me.
After the event she did tell me she was in a relationship of a few months with a guy she met online.
She also told me that her ex husband has now fathered a child by someone else in the past year or so.
I mentioned both of these facts in my first interview.
I would be surprised if charges werent brought as there could potentially be a lot of explaining and debating to be done from both sides.
My main worse is that prosecutors will try and imply that i took advantage of a drunk woman even though she was far from vulnerable and probably never is.
Her claims of a blackout from approx to 19:30 to midnight tarnish her evidence, This is because she clearly and visibly consented to walk / get taxi to several places with me. How therefore can she be sure she didn’t consent to sex?
I have limited visibility of her social media. She is still actively socialising and actually approached me in a bar a few months ago. Thankfully bail had just been ended!
Thanks again for getting back to me. I have good days and bad days (usually caused by waking up with a negative thought in my head!).
