Hi i have been looking through the net for information on where i stand in my own situation. i was wondering if you could be of any help?
I was sexually taken advantage of at the age of 15 (3mths from turning) by an older man of 25, i was not in a good place mentally at that time i had moved here from another area and i had been bullied out of school, my mum was cheating on my dad and i just felt like i wasn't wanted. he showed me attention which i was wanting to feel wanted. he knew my age & continued to write letters to me and a few months later we started seeing each other regular. not long after i turned 16 i got pregnant by him and i ended up marrying him. in our 13yr marriage he emotionally abused me, he has used my credit in our lifestyle choice and left me struggling with 4 kids. he told me he only married me out of duty not out of love. i feel lied to and he has taken my youth away and my choices in life. i had to go cbt which didn't help and i am in councelling this has effected my life in a big way and caused many problems with my children and I. I reported to the police and they don't care, said i consented and was being revengeful. logged it under sec 6 ULI which is the only offence to carry a time limit of 12mths so they won't do anything. I was of the belief that sec 6 is for people of a similar age not an age gap of 11yrs, this makes it statuary rape doesn't it? he took me to court for a child arrangment order and even my barrister said the police have not done their job. I don't know how i can fight it?
