Hey everyone



Does anyone know if after you've been to magistrates for your plea hearing does the media report on it or do they wait till actual sentencing at crown Court?

How did you and your family deal with the media because I imagine it's absolute hell on earth

I'll be honest it wasn't very nice .. it hit on sat 1st August I deleted social media way before then but I had people looking out for me. There was 205 comments by the 2nd day and not really many made after then. We are changing my sons name he's lost all his so called friends. I'm so pleased your standing by your friend, you are pure gold. I hope by my son changing his name and going to uni he will make new friends and a new life X

My ex went to crown and it wasn't even reported on there.

We got away with that one (I'm relieved for the children)

My hub was posted all over social media, the day after pre-sentence.

When he went back to magistrate 4 weeks later, there was nothing.

I remember a friend of my hub saying they could see the 1st report went back in the top 50, which means people he knew were clicking on that and were waiting to see what he had, bet they were annoyed cause it never got reported again and he only told those that needed to know.

Hopefully it doesn't get reported
