Badly Need Help!!!!

[aaj]

Hello
Thankyou for takin time to read this sorry if its long will try make it as short as possible,

Basically ive been in my mates house then gone back to his sister in law's with her (not for sex) then fell asleep an woke up to the police being there an was arrested for rape

Was bailed a number of times sayin they were waitin for DNA etc which came back as negative but still bailed me, now after she has apparently done some pre-trial which involved a independent lawyer cros examining her story they are goin to charge me today! (solicitor told me) what i need help with is there any way to get the charge dropped my worry is i do not want this in the paper as her family/connections are as close as you get to "gangsta" around here (i have already taken one beating after this and family members threatened). From what i can gather seems only evidence they have is her word below is the factors of my defence:

No Dna
She waiting round for a taxi after the apparent rape an travelled couple mile to her mates before ringin police whilst leaving me in her flat (wouldnt ya just scream for a neighbour)
No signs of struggle
The way she said i slept with her is hard to achieve even if it was consented
She is a known compulsive liar and attention seeker
Would i really stay there if i raped her

Because im getting charged i will be in court an i suspect the papers will have it as a headline, my life has been completely ruined from this i lost my family an home (they are there for me an know im not capable of doin that but dont want the trouble to be brought to the house) lost all my friends an have failed my university studies, didnt think it could have gotten worst till found out im gettin charged i was convinced because of the evidence it would just be dropped.

Is there anything i can do to stop the charge or get cps's decision looked at by some sort of watchdog, i spoke to the officer and i think even he knows i never done it but there doesnt seem to be any help available for me as im they dont see me as a victim even though i feel like one

Thankyou for your time and sorry about the lenght

Many Thanks

Sorry to see you here, you haven't mentioned if you have legal representation - not the duty one you were offered - but one that specialises in this type of case?

I can see why you're frightened about this.

thankyou for quick reply, i have just got my own solicitor im using he said he'll get me a specilised barrister but i really really dont want it to go that far, i cant come to terms with how they have managed to charge me without any evidence surely dna is enough to prove i never done it, feel like they are ruining my life just to get another statistic on their books.

(sorry if sound aggresive i really dont mean to be got alot of emotions runnin through my head as i have only just found out im gettin charged due to answer bail at 3pm today

Thats ok vent away.

The only advice I can offer you at this moment is to prepare yourself for the worst and hope for the best - be aware that its possible they may add other charges.

Until you know for sure what's happening you can't start to fight this.

sorry to hear you are in this horrible situation. i can't really offer any more practical advice than has already been given. keep talking on here and with people in real life (if you have people you feel able to talk to). you need to look after yourself so you can be strong enough to fight this.

Thankyou again for reply,

pretty sure there wont be any more charges as theres nothing else to charge e with and all the police officers seem to be on my side (seem quite compassionate when they speak to me and officer in charge said he'll chat to me later think because i burst into tears on the phone) Just cps i really dont understand how they could do this they even told my solicitor couple weeks ago when he chased it up "to be onest i dont know what to do with the case because there is no dna but we gotta protect the woman" i thought straight away what about protecting me they have no idea what im goin through or what ive lost so instead they questioned her again an because her story was same their gonna charge me really doesnt make sense all that proves is she is a good liar

Thanks again

Thanks for reply Friday

I am planning on stayin on here felt like i was only one this happenin to me has really opened my eyes to how easy it is for a woman to ruin someone's life like this, i have friends family i can speak to but really they have suffered enough an dont want to put them through all this been goin through it for 7 month now and now they gonna charge me things will only get worst solicitor sayin im lookin at oct/nov for trial so gotta just try an pull through it, just want the trial to be over as there is no way the jury will go guilty on this is there? thanks for ya help,

if there is anyone else that knows how the cps work could you please reply i really cant see how this is fair

[RFLH]

If you have a look at some of the other threads on here you'll understand a bit better how these things work.

Its no good any of us trying to second guess what will happen, but once we know then we can start to offer advice, help and support in spades.

Hi AAJ sorry to see you here. The cps in my experience are a law unto themselves. They are supposed to only charge if they have a reasonable chance of conviction, however they seem to be quite happy to ruin peoples lives on the slightest of evidence. You say that she is a proven liar, i would suggest that you get as many statements as possible that back up what you say. My son was told 2 weeks before we were to go to court that his accuser had previously made a false allegation, CPS had known for months that she had made a previous false allegation.
The cps do not view you as a victim, and are unlikely to drop the case unless they are absolutely convinced that they will lose. We have a ton of evidence that supports my sons version of events and they still plan to go ahead.
i complained to the cps and got a reply back that they did not intend to do anything about the complaint until after the trial. When we go to court it will be nearly a year.

Hi sorry took so long to reply i just stayed in bed all afternoon an night yesterday, just for info i had it out with the officer and apparently her word is enough evidence to charge can ya believe that, so because her story was the same in pre trial as it was when it allegedly happened i got charged, like they forget all about the fact that there is no dna, does anybody know what % the dna result will be cuz surely if its 99.9% i shouldnt have got charged

Hi worried father, the way they work is pathetic my solicitor as even said this is goin no were chances are the judge will throw it out half way through, i plan to make a complaint myself the way the system works need to change fair enough they have to protect the victim but only for real case's anyone can see when its a lie so why cant cps just drop it i dont know, after mine is over i plan to get her done and try cause havok with cps i at least want an apology off them the hole thing is just a joke they need to realise what we lose in my case my studies my career my family my house my friends and my mind all because one twisted sick woman says, really cant get me head around it, tell your son to kepp his head up and just try and soldier through it like im tryin
