Hello
My boyfriend has been accused of rape, oral rape & kidnap. Sounds very extreme i know.
10 months ago we had a little argument & i decided to leave him in the pub with his mates and go home to my mom. I never heard from him for 3 days and thought it so odd, we lived in each others pockets. I thought he was calling my bluff as i was in a mood with him & thought he would call me. Never did I think i would receive a call from a solicitor advising me he had been remanded in custody for these charges. It was a knife stuck in my heart.
I went to see him a few days later, after he pleaded his innocence to me. I knew in my mind, he surely couldnt do this. Some friends were against, some have given me the overwhelming support that makes me alive today! As soon as I saw him, i knew he was innocent. You dont spend 3 years with someone & not be able to tell when there lying, i knew he wasnt.
He had continued drinking with his pals but before the pub closed he walked home back to his flat thinking i would be there. But i wasnt. And so having had a drink, didnt want to sit in the house on his own he went to a Crack House. Not a usual thing i know. However, he had drug problems when his mother died in his teens, he had dabbled for years and was then clean for years, dont get me wrong he wasnt a bad junkie, but he did have a crack problem. When his brother had a breakdown & his dad was diagnosed terminally ill at the end of last year, he became unsettled again and i found out that he had smoked crack. Not for days, or even much money but he went to a crack house to escape his problems. We had argued about this, but i tried to help him through it.
Anyway, that night when he was leaving the crack house a girl had left just infront of him, he has admitted in his statement & to me that he half fancied trying his luck. She was obviously a prostitute and had also been smoking crack. He asked her to come back to the flat, as he still had some of the drug on him.
She walked back with him - some 10 - 12 minute walk. He has 2 communal doors and his own flat door, up a flight of stairs. They smoked what little he had left. 2 other associates of my boyfriends also ended up at the flat for about an hour, they werent friends, people who just knew my fella & one had spotted him earlier & spoke to him on the road when he was with the prostitute, he realised that he had drugs, or chanced his luck for some & thats why they knocked to his that night. They put their money together & my boyf & one of the lads left the flat for about 45 mins to score some crack. 1 man & the prostitue were left in the flat. When they returned the 2 men had an argument with each other, 1 of them left. The other stayed and smoked with them, but he wasnt there for long when he had a row with them & so he left. One thing eventually led to another with my fella & her. There was an attempt to have sex but the drugs wouldnt allow him, however the consentual attempt was there. A porn video was put on because of this, he said she couldnt arose him & so he looked at the TV while she gave him oral sex. After it all he was lying on the bed and he could see her tinkering about, she said she was going, he smelled a rat & when he followed her to the door her hand was clenched. He demanded she open her hand and there she had my diamond earrings that he had bought me for Christmas. He hit her up the face & said never to try & rob him. He said he looked at her in disgust thinking what have i done bringing you back here. She ran for the door & out.
He went to bed and eventually got some sleep, only to be awoken with several cars full of police having took all the doors off. he told the truth all the way. They incriminated that he had a row with me & so out of temper kidnapped & raped her. That he was so drugged up he couldnt remember. He was remanded in custody.
She has been very clever, to some extent. There was a big knife on the living room table, which we had in fact had to use because the windows had been painted from the outside closed and we'd used it to try & prise some of them open. She has said this was all done at knife point and now this has been taken as evidence.
She has made accusations that she was kidnapped and forced to the flat, where she was raped for 5 hours, she tried to flea several times however he overpowered her and threw her down.
I have since spoken to the 2 men that were in the flat and without me telling them what he had said, they told the same story. One man saw the police outside the next day & said i wa there last night, has something happened to him - they said no, we dont want to talk to you. Yet he had told the police about them!
There is no dna evidence, the doctor has confirmed that their was no genital brusing & only a small bruise about size of a penny on her face, which coincides with what my boyfriend admitted. On her way home at 6am - she went to someones house (who we now know to be her pimp) she told him she had been raped, he advised her to ring police & gave her a pound to get home! She walked past a hospital several phone boxes and waited for the bus outside a police station!
But later the pimp called the police for her. We have already been to one trial, where we were approached outside by the pimp looking for money to drop the charges! She came out & pleaded pain so as to justify a high amount of money. We went mad, screamed at her and she ran back in the courts and accused us of bribery! We also got the police and advised them what had happened. She was believed and has pressed charges against my boyfriends sister for intimidating a witness and perverting the course of justice!
I seriously believe the girl is mentally ill, she seems to have convinced herself it happened now. We know she has been in & out of care since she was young and has 2 cautions for prostitution, she is only 18 (looks about 28). As they are cautions we cannot mention this at court. She has asked for a screen for sympathy!
This last 10 months have been the hardest ever, i have found the strength to carry on from my boyfriend, who is still alive because i have stood by him, knowing the truth makes you so determined. Some days i feel i just cant go on, but i have to for justice sake. The trial is 4 weeks away and i only wish id known about this site for the past 10 months. I've put a brave face on things though and tried to pretend it isnt happening, but now the day is daunting and im grateful because i want the truth to be known, but im scared cause so many people get wrongly convicted, anthing that could of gone wrong has, nothing seems to have gone in our favour. CCTV not working. My make up was all used & trashed by her, but police never took it for evidence and so its now only my word, crack pipe took but not tested for dna, getting the 2 witnesses to court now because they are both bad into the drugs world, we can never find them when needed.
I feel at times the odds are stacked against him, i know the jury will think the worst, as you may have done when i mentioned drugs etc. But i know this never happened and its breaking me not being able to have any power over this. If anyone has some words of encouragement or helpful advice, please give it to me now. if things do go wrong next month, i will need all the support i can get as he's looking at a life conviction if found guilty.
