After nearly 2 years of this nightmare, we finally have a court date, I know it goes to magistrates then crown court I'm just worried that will it be made public after magistrates or after crown court?

I know for some people that it doesn't get made public at all but I fear that with the amount of images found it'll most likely go to the media. I haven't been able to tell friends, family or work apart from only my parents who have supported us both but I'm worried that my other family will completely flip out and what little friends I do have will cut me off completely as for the time being I've staied with him.

It doesn't help that my OH is a little popular in my local town as he's always been sociable and made a lot of friends since he moved here so I'm worried that'll be a massive backlash as some of the friends he's made in the past can be particularly nasty when they want to.

Quite frankly all I want to do is move, but it's money I don't have and I won't have the support of my family if I move as far as I'd like. I just feel stuck in a pit and just want this to be over x

Hi,

in my partners case it was reported four days after crown court. I've read posts from others saying that their cases were in the media in a monthly round up of court cases xxx

Hi,

It was reported online the same day both for plea and sentencing. With plea it was another 2 days before it was in the paper and with sentencing it was the next day.

Same as Dory - within hours of plea and sentencing it was on social media. Next day the front page of the local paper.

Hi it's awful the waiting to find out the outcome and awaiting to see if everyone is going to be made aware. For my person It was reported on at magistrates for plea hearing an article in local news but not plastered all over social media and the sentence wasn't reported on at all. Sending strength and support to you. X

Thank you all for your replies, I really just want this over and done with and just let the fallout come (if it does) so I can get through it rather than worrying about it, I'm already signed off work due to stress. At this moment in time I can only hope it's just keyboard warriors if anything does happen, I've been off social media for a while now so not overly worried about that, and that my OH can keep his job as I don't know how hard it'll be to get one once he's charged and if he does lose it.

at the moment it's still a waiting game but hopefully it'll be over soon x

Hi, my personal case and all the details including the road we lived in was put across the Police county wide social media platforms 6 weeks AFTER crown court sentencing. X
