Hello



In September 2018 my ex partner got arrested. There have been no proper updates from the police, I have rang the detective a few times shes obviously been vague.



SS called me last week to say CPS had enough evidence, what happenes next? Any idea of approx time scale? I feel on the back foot all the time and really worried it will get in the press and that's how I'll find out



Thanks x

Whilst my husband moved out immediately, we remained married. The police had no idea about whether we were still in a relationship or not, they did not talk to him at all after the first interview! I wasn't informed at any time in the process!! Nor do the prison service inform me of his moves!

New and confused

I have never been told anything by the police or ss.

Ss closed our case as supervised visits when he was under investigation and I was never told of him being charged or court etc. Assuming they'll be in contact when he is convicted.

The police have never talked to him either charges were sent via email!

we are still together so I know What is going on otherwise wouldn't have a clue.

There was 8 months from arrest to charge in this case. Then magistrates and crown court to come within the next couple months hopefully then can find a way to move on
