Hi all.

So after 9 months my husband was in court today for his plea hearing. It was an awful experience. Myself and his sister went with him.

His charges were read out and descriptions of each category. It was awful to hear what was in the images/videos. Men in the public gallery started walking out and unfortunately were waiting outside the court room for us. They hurled abuse at him and name calling as we were led out of the court by his solicitor. Outrageous as we were still inside the building.

Police took us to a separate section of the courthouse out of sight to wait for my husbands paperwork. We exited very quickly out of a side door hoping no public would see us. Dreading the sentencing now. Also the judge read out his full address so anyone sitting in the public knows where he lives now.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you, we were at Crown yesterday too for plea, I waiting outside but h thinks noone else was in the court room, now the long wait until sentencing mid Dec and to see if it does appear in the media.

Hugs to you x

No we didn't cover up but wish we had at least changed coats or something for exiting. It was very intimidating to be honest. Myself and his sister are nervous for his sentencing now as the judge read out the date and time my husband would be returning for sentencing so anyone abusive who was there today knows when he'll be appearing in court again and can be waiting outside for us if they want to. Also absolutely appalling the judge read out his full name and current address so everyone shouting abuse now knows where he lives. Luckily myself and our child don't live at the same address. Surely his address could have just been on paperwork for the judge instead of read out to the hostile public gallery.
