Hi,

Sorry not been on here, this week has been an absolute roller coaster and it's still not over !!

My OH trial started on Monday, it was horrendous hearing the prosecution trying to make it's case against him and we all left feeling dejected.

Tuesday was completely different, the OIC was caught out lying on the stand, he claimed my OH refused to open his phone or give his pin. His Barrister read out his own notes which confirmed he did indeed open his phone and gave his pin. He said he was mistaken. Next the judge said that one of the extreme images, wasn't one and asked for the charge to be removed. My OH was on the stand and gave a very good account of what had happened. We left feeling much more confident.

Wednesday the prosecution suddenly came up with new evidence! His Barrister said it was completely unfair to supply new evidence at this point, but the judge allowed it. Suddenly the police were now able to prove the 2 extreme image were accessible on the device.

Thursday we had numerous character references read out in support of my OH, the judge explained that under no circumstances did he consider my OH a Pword and said it was obvious that he hadn't requested the 4 images and agreed they had been sent as jokes. He said there were thousands and thousands of perfectly legal photos and videos on his device and that we are dealing with 4.

Friday the Jury have been out most the day, they have 1 more hour to make a decision or else it appears we will be coming back on Monday.

I feel physically, emotionally and mentally wrecked, I've signed off work sick for the moment.

I just pray I have something positive to post soon.

Xxx

Hang in there, it must be so stressful! Completely mad that the CPS thinks this is in the public interest. What a waste of everyone's time, money, and mental health.

Bless you - it's agony and I know how you feel.

my sons trial stretched out to another day and the stress/worry was exhausting.

Lets hope it finalises shortly and you can all move on from this stage.

These charges are not about whether someone is a p-word, men are arrested for these crimes daily and the majority of them are not p-words.
