okay so now my person has now been referred to Crown Court probably due to the fact it's the second time he has offended and due to the circumstances it is probably going to hit the newspapers. I am so so scared what will happen once it hits the newspapers what my neighbours friends and family are gonna think my person is no longer living with me. I threw him out two years ago when we got the knock, but I'm still supporting him and I'm wondering whether I should be. I am so worried about the backlash this is gonna cause any advice please x
