Helping my 14 year deal with a false accusation of rape

[tiger mum]

Hurray - NFA for my son!

Were on hols at the moment, but just heard from my son's solicitor that the police have confirmed NO FURTHER ACTION against my son. We know (through her friends) that she was terrified of having to justify her allegations as her friend who had organised the crazy drink/drug fuelled party had to give a video interview looking for evidence. Ie she realized the poor little victim routine was going to be put to the test!

All this strife and trouble, all the wasted resource. This is the trouble with a stupid system which lets FA's get away with saying what they want for whatever reason they have without any objective evaluation of what she/he is saying. I've just read Lenny's post about his lad - in Scotland they dive right in with a charge! Crazy days.

Anyway thanks for the support I've received on here over the nightmare of the past 3 months - its been invaluable as however many people told me to sit back and wait and see what happened I couldn't and I've had to become a bit obsessed just to stay sane. Not sure what we will do from here - but I will take the opportunity to ask the police what's being going on as they are both at the same school and they have been really supportive of my son and they deserve some answers regarding what these daft girls are capable of.

And here we go - xxxx

Absolutely brill!!!! Give yourselves time to heal

That's brilliant! Will you pursue the matter you reported to the police? All the best, to you and your son whatever you decide. All credit to him for keep on going to school etc despite having to face the little liar every day.

Fantastic News!!! Very pleased for you both, sense prevailed in the end. What a fantastic way to enjoy the rest of your holiday

[can it get worse]

Brilliant news.

What now?

Thanks for your support guys! I do intend to find out what the police have gathered from the witnesses. At the moment I feel like they believed the girl my lad raped her. I want the school to know what the kids actually told the police about that weekend and what she was up to. It's not enough that we know he is innocent I want to clear his name.

Any advice from those with a NFA regarding your rights to understand what happened would be appreciated. Do you think that I made a complaint of a false allegation and told the police what happened before they tried to arrest my son gives me the right to know what was said? I know the chance of a WPT or PCJ are slim - but I need some explanation which will help my son (and me) move on.

Hi TM, just a thought when your free could you add your solicitors details to the specialist solicitors thread. Sounds like a great solicitor that could save others in the future too!

Great news

Police have agreed to meet with me after my son has NFA outcome - didn't expect that!

I emailed the investigating officer with my concerns about the false allegation against my son, outlining the injustice we felt and sharing some of the facts I uncovered about the alleged incident.
I've asked a series of questions about their investigation and how they would have progressed if his FA had NOT asked them to drop the case against him when she realised what the police were asking her friends about HER behaviour that night.

The policewoman in charge has agreed to meet with me next week with her boss to discuss my questions and comments - I feel like this might give me the answers to get closure on the whole sorry situation. I'm hoping to get some answers which will help us to prove that my boywas the victim not the FA! He's not as confident as he was before all this - but he is determined to reward the teachers who stuck by him with A*s in his GCSEs - on track for achieving this for 2 of them a year early so that's good.

Will let you guys know how I get on next week. Thanks for all your kind words of congratulation - I know some of you have had a much longer struggle than we have - its such a relief when you don't have this trauma hanging over you - hang on in there and stay strong x

I similarly had a post-NFA meeting with my OIC (though I didn't get the boss as well) I guess I was probably a little light-headed with relief as I opened proceedings with the line: " You do not have to say anything, but anything you may say will be taken down and may be used against you".

I don't know if this lightened the mood or not, but it did give me some little satisfaction
