Oof there are so many points here that I want to respond to, but no time:
suffice it to say, thanks so so much for all the good and nice things you've said: but *I *didn't see it through, the CPS did. I just made the complaint, gave a statement and turned up in court. I don't think I did anything that anyone else wouldn't have done.
And I am allowed to go to the sentencing but I won't bother. The police victim people will contact me to tell me what the outcome is and they will also apply for costs and compensation for me- I have been led to believe this will be about £50. But that's fine- it didn't cost me anything :)
I can also apply for £ to cover the time I had to take off work to attend the case (as I'm freelance this is relevant).
