Hi,
I posted previously about some concerns relating to this situation and received some great help from a couple of members but i was wondering if anyone has any experience with being accused of inciting a breach of bail in a domestic abuse case.
Long story short - my ex partner attacked me at the start of last year. He was let out on bail but that bail lapsed due to the trial being delayed and he got in contact with me again. I spoke to him for a bit but when i made it clear I didn't want to be in a relationship with him he attempted suicide outside my house, was arrested and released on bail again....He immediately started texting me which I ignored for two weeks....this resulted in him coming over to my house and damaging property...and he was arrested and released on bail again.
After this he started posting about me on fb every day for a month (i ignored this), and then moved on to texting again. I ignored these for a while but I was very pregnant and unwell at this time and just sick of the whole thing so I ended up replying and agreed to meet him as he wanted to chat. He was insistent I went to his house and I refused to do that for ages (I wanted to meet in a public place)...until I gave in and went to his. At this point he he started trying to get back with me and I kept saying I wasn't interested and this went on via text for a couple of weeks (with me just getting exhausted at some points and agreeing to try and get back together and possibly move in...I had no intention of doing this but this guy is very scary, intimidating and manipulative) He also knows how to wind me up and there were a few nasty words said between us by text.
Now, I reported all of this to the police yesterday (unfortunately i only had afew screenshots....not everything) and the officer said I'm not being arrested now but I might have been if I looked like I was inciting him to breach bail!!!!!
I don't think I did, I certainly didn't intend to, but I'm worried that when they talk to him he might manipulate my words or I might have unintentionally said something that trips me up. Keep in mind that he has a lawyer for this case and I don't (as technically in just a witness for the fiscal) so I'm sure they will be going through it with a fine tooth comb.
I'm absolutely regreting going to the police with this now.
Does anyone have experience with this and able to offer any help?
I'm in Scotland.
