Anyone else given statements to police?

Hello all,
In short my (now ex) partner was arrested in March 2019. He was caught by vigilantes and livestreamed on Facebook. The police searched the house and bailed him to his parents address. I was advised not to have contact with him. I work with children and chose to end the relationship immediately and I have not seen him or had any contact with him since his arrest. The last time I saw him we both left for work as normal nearly a year ago. I agreed to give a police statement a few weeks after his arrest and have had updates from the police. They informed me he's had a second interview and they want to clarify some things with me and may need to take another statement from me. The lead investigator for the case is visiting me next week and says it is nothing to worry about but they could do with discussing a few things with me.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Love and hugs to you all

Hi gemini
i chose to stay with my husband and when the police asked me to give a statement I declined, she did inform me that if I'd agreed I may be required to appear in court which I wasn't happy to do

Hi JB72,
Thanks for your reply. It makes me feel less alone. The police also explained to me that I may be required to support my statement in court the first time they took one and I accept that this could happen. Just wondering if anyone has had experience of the police taking a second statement?
Lots of love and hugs to all of you.

Hello all,
Police statement was taken. My ex-partner gave no comment at initial arrest but at second interview he has given a different account which, ultimately, both I and the police believe to be false. I may have to testify against him in court if he is charged and chooses to plead not guilty. I can't say I'll find it easy but ultimately I feel I need to support the investigation for the sake of the children in the images and just that it is what is right and fair. Anyone had any experience of testifying in court on these sorts of cases and circumstances?
Love to all
