A relative got the knock last September and 11 months later they haven't had their phone back or a letter or call from the police. I know they're under investigation, but I don't think they realise it. They think charges were dropped after the bail term expired and that's it. I have a child and social care turned up and had us sign a written agreement on our doorstep. We're not open to social services, but the longer this goes on I really think my relatives believe it's all done with and nothing else will happen. Anyone have any idea how long it takes to go to court and then how long the sentencing takes from there?

Thanks for your reply. Helps to have more awareness about the process.
