This week has been a week of emotional ups and downs and I guess it is bout time I started to learn how to talk and share problems and burdens, I dont have anyone "near and dear" to talk to living close to me so I guess I will talking on here to you...here goes, a few months ago I became victim to a (previously convicted thrice over, registered) sex offender.
Too cut a long story short, I took my laptop for repairs and the shop owner, unbeknown to me was and still is a sex offender who targets women by obtaining their details in the light he was taking details to book the repair job in on his system.
The local newspaper got hold of the story and kinda got the story but not as in depth as the actual facts in my case, not sure about the other previous victims...
The paper then got hold of the court appearance this week and published another story..At this point in time I am not allowed to talk to the media to correct the facts they have wrong or give them the full facts, I am also angry that the way the public prosecution have handled the case has left me feeling terrible, due to the nature of my work and other factors, I did not want to be identified by name and that is being used against me, I did not want to appear in court, having to go through the police interviews after I reported this vile character, left me feeling like he was the victim and I was perpetrator, I was ripped to pieces and my character scrutinised to no limits imaginable...so after that, I refused to appear in court...all the evidence that was needed was available in print, text messages and photo text messages. So the police decide to do a "evidence based report", therefore the policewoman would stand my place in court...this is now being used against me and I am angry!
In the first place why is this nasty piece of work still allowed to trade and be involved with he general public in a field such as computers...how?, how is a character like him allowed to live and trade near a school...yes a school, my kids school as a matter of fact...how? I am told he has "Human Rights" and has a right to live where he wishes, i.e....1 min, (if that at all) walk from a school.
What makes me really angry is the judge in the case wants to look into wether this character was "encouraged" by me as this sick offender claims, if a reply text asking how much the repairs will be or a text saying that receiving a picture message of inappropriate measure was not appreciated is seen as encouraging...I dont know then ....he breached his previous bail conditions for previous offences, he is a known, repeat sex offender and is still loose on the streets..jail him, end of story?!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your ordeal! I am familiar with how that scenario plays out because my daughter had a similar experience when she was a junior in high school...long story short...they believed him, not her and we ended up taking her out of the school and finishing at home, while he continued on there. What I can offer you is the fact the God does love YOU and He sees all....ask Him to help you through this and He will. I will pray for you!

I hear you! Where is justice, and I would have nervous break down if I was in your shoes. So sorry this is happening to you. The only way to defense ourselves is to enlist the help of an attorney, without one, the system will treat you like crap! I hope everything will turn out in your favor!
