Hi all

I think the next step in 'our' journey is a second interview and then CPS but can someone tell me how long it took for your OH case to get a decision from the CPS please and also what part of the country? I understand asking for what part of the country is private as we all want to stay as anonymous as we can but it would be appreciated

Thank you x

I've contacted our solicitor this week to ask the same question. Knock Sept 23, 2nd interview Feb 24, we 'think' it went to CPS early Aug 24 ....10 weeks and still waiting for charges. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to any of it. CPS timelines depend on whether they require more evidence to ensure a prosecution, but I'm not sure if the defendant is kept up to date with that or if it's just behind the scenes between CPS and police. I read recently that the CPS are swamped and some defendants waiting 160 days but not sure if that's true. I don't believe anything I read anymore! My thoughts are with you, sending a virtual hug xx

Hampshire:

knock October 2019,

Sentencing Feb 2024.

LONGEST years, months, weeks and days of my life.

When it actually went to CPS it took 6 weeks. You can call the officer in charge of your persons case and they will tell you if/when it went.

Lots of love x
