Hi

Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere, I tried to do a search but couldn't find the answer.

My partner is still at home. We're not officially still together and haven't truly decided to stay or go. He is RUI and it's still very early days, only got the knock in December.

One thing I have worried about is what address will be printed if it goes in the media. If the relationship ends completely and he moves out, will the courts and media list his address of where he lived when he was arrested, or his current address?

He's thinking of moving out of the area to give himself a fresh start

Hi

We had two articles printed. One with current address and one with my address (where offending happened). I don't know why they varied both were read out in court.

how do they know both addresses ?
my partner has moved out, changed everything to new address and I am wondering if they will only print his new address too?

Hello

When my partners story was in the paper which was October. It stated he gave... Then the address, as his bail address. It never said who's address it was or whether he lived there just that it was his bail address.

I hope it doesn't get printed, fingers crossed

I'm sorry to say that my address was printed in the press when my ex partners case was reported. He was arrested at my address although it was not his home address. This has caused problems with my neighbours. I have complained to the police (who wrote the original article on their website which was reproduced in the press) . They did amend the article but by then the damage was done. I have seen on another post that you can request through the solicitors that your address is not used. I wish I had known that.

I really can't understand why the police are allowed to publish information that can identify innocent members of the public. We seem to be treated as collateral damage. I feel as if I am being punished for something someone else has done as if it's not hard enough coming to terms with what he did. It's a double punishment

Northern Rose,

The same thing happened to me and my young children. The case was plastered everywhere by the Police 6 weeks after sentencing. The reason they report the case with the photo, name etc, is because they want to see if anyone comes forward who has been abused in person by the offender. If might stop people coming forward if it wasn't reported on. X

OH case hit the press day after sentencing!

they listed old address of where he was arrested and his current address (where he did live before prison).

It was on police Facebook page, the Court and local papers.......had his photo, name, age and street name and town.
