I am in court next week and I'm feeling really anxious about it. I am the victim and the woman is being trialled ( is that the right word? ) for ABH and also separately trialled for assaulting a police officer.
The first time it went to court ( this is now the 3rd time as its had to be rearranged ) the police, doorman and a member of staff gave evidence. I know this as my solicitor asked me how I knew "Luke and John" and I said I didnt and asked who they were.
I didnt go into the court room. My solicitor kept coming out to speak to me. I was waiting to go in. They offered some sort of keep the peace thing ( sorry, my memory is hazy, it was 2022 when this first started and I have ADHD ) but I declined it as that was my first and only time in the pub, it's in a city I dont visit frequently so there wasnt any chance of us bumping into each other, it would of basically meant for her that she was banned from her local pub - I declined it
My solicitor then brought up that her solicitor had mentioned I'd been arrested - I said yes when I was 18 - ( and I was only arrested because it happened right in front of the police, I was not charged ) and I was 30 when the woman attacked me and hadnt ever been in trouble with the police since
My solicitor then brought up a report made to the police about me that I knew nothing about! No one had ever spoken to me about it and I was shocked it could be brought up in court when it had never been mentioned to me
A year later I was attacked randomly off a school mum and harrassed for well over a year ( shes being investigated ) but during this time she has made a lot of false accusations against me, also to social services ect. I posted on here about it because it was so horrific.
The police have never officially contacted me about her false accusations but when updating me about the investiagtion ( she was arrested ) they told me she had made counter claims but didnt have any evidence ( where as I have )
So now, I'm just so anxious and worried that I'm going to go to court about this ABH woman and her solicitor is going to bring up false reports made to the police and social services.
I have not been arrested since I was 18 and it was a silly fight. I've never been in trouble with the police since but I'm really worried these false reports are going to be used against me
Does anybody have any advice on how to deal with it when or if it gets brought up?
