My sons case has been sent back from the RASSO sort of the CPS to a lesser solicitor. They have listened to him and believed he was telling the truth . We are still waiting to see if he gets charged for a lesser offence . After speaking the the officer in charge he said this is good news and he will be able to move on with his life and hopefully get a slap on the wrist .. still feel sick with the waiting . ( my son was raped at 15 he is now older and was in a chat room on Grinder and the guy then turns the convo around to children my son was terrified to stop the children he said he didn’t want something to happen to someone that had happened to him hes the truth and there are no other conversations not had anything come back on any equipment )

I never noticed your message before. It slipped down the list quickly. That is excellent news to hear and a weight off your mind to some extent. It sounds to me like all charges should be withdrawn full stop. It does seem a little mad that they would pursue this when they are so busy. They must have had the guy he was in conversation with on their radar. Good news though and keep us posted x

Scrappy that’s great news, best of luck for you and your family. Your son can hopefully put this behind him and have a happy life.

The investigating officer seems to think we will still need to go to court. I can’t cope much more with the waiting . My poor lad doesn’t deserve this x

Hey scrappy,

That is really good news. I would be really interested on hearing your updates as your sons case sounds so similar to my husbands- single conversation, nothing else on devices etc. My other half was also abused as a child and he explained this to police in a very emotional but long interview etc.

Mine got caught up in all this mess but was found due to the other guy he was talking too being on the receiving end of a police sting due to numerous atrocious offences.

Keep us up to date :)

Oh gosh it’s sounds exactly the same as my sons .. he was raped at 15 by a “ friend “ who then tried to blackmail him by saying he’s recorded it .. after speaking to tho officer again today he mentioned about court again . My lad is in counselling and he’s managing to go to work he is very very depressed tho and he’s not got a twitch and has night terrors .. he has been very naive in thinking he could meet this man and ring the police .. i dread to think where we would be if he had actually gone through with it . He just says mum I couldn’t bear the thought of someone suffering as I have . It’s just sad so sad xx

Hi

Did you son say how the conversation ended? Did he go along with the other person or disagree? If he disagreed then surely he cant be charged?

Hey scrappy,

That's not great news but its definitely not life over. What did the Rasso cps decide to charge with in the end. Have you now got his solicitor working on getting the best outcome for him.

Hey scrappy,

So I do understand how hard this must be based on your sons experience as a child.

Has he told you what the charges are?

I dont think you ever get over these issues you just find a new normal as a few of the great ladies on here have said. He will need your support and you need to also be supported.

Has he been given his next steps of court dates etc and solicitor meetings?

Okay Scrappy,

It sounds to you guys right now that it's the end of the world, but it's not. Now is the chanow the time to use your solicitor to get the mitigating circumstances across. Stay with it. Your poor son. You will all survive this. Xxxxx
