When I was 19 I was in a sexually abusive relationship (rape). He was very controlling and I only reported it 6 years later. A statement was taken. He was arrested and denied it. The policewoman said she believed me. The case was closed due to no further evidence.
I like to think I have protected the next woman. I'm not sure I have. I think he has been in a long term relationship for about 10 years now. She obviously wasn't phased by the arrest and believed whatever story he threaded.
I haven't looked him up in 5 years.
But I'm worried what he can still do. He used to run scouts. Since there was no charge do you think he will pass the checks to be able to still volunteer there? I knew he was considering teaching at one point, has my reporting stopped him doing that? If anyone does a Clares Law will it come back with my claim?
it's been on my mind for years.
