OMG!!! I hope yr ok babe. I think it's afterwards when it all sinks in isn't it that it gets to you more.

You've definitely dun the right thing by reporting it to the police & on as many forums as you can. I wudn't av thought he would've been sent to prison straight away, but at least the ball's rolling. Let's hope it keeps rolling in the right direction. Thank goodness you had security I shudder to think wot wudve happened to you luvvie.

Keep yr chin up & keep smiling & thank you so much for bringing it to the attention of us girls.

Take care.

Luv & hugs Kate xx

Hi hope you are ok I have pm'd you x

hi kate,  i dont post on other forums but your more than welcome to do it on my behalf. x

Oki doki babe. Take care & lots of hugs.

hope your okay, and that he gets totally what he deserves.  Unfortunately I have no faith in the police in Manchester whatsoever heres hoping that Leeds police  look at us ladies differently.  I have an ongoing stalker situation and all the police can say is to leave the industry asap. 

Hi, my name is Joan and I work for Genesis.  I have read about what happened to you and wanted to say if there is anything Genesis can do to support you please give me a call on our office number which is on the website www.genesisleeds.org.uk  or email me on joandarby@btconnect.com

I put a post on the site about the work I do for Genesis with women who have been assaulted.  I know this must be a really hard time for you and hope we might be able to help.   As you will see if you look at the website or talk to other women who know about us we are really aware of confidentiality and the need to be discrete.   We also have an 'Ugly Mugs' scheme where we tell women about men who have threatened or assaulted people so they can be aware of them.  Let me know if you want to know any more about us,
best wishes,
Joan

Hey, just wanted to say on the thread (as well as PMs lol) that I'll be cheering you on whenever that court date is babe. Send him down. It's women like you who are helping protect other girls from it happening again, and it's brave.

That is fantastic news. Well done you. I'm so proud of you.

Luv Kate xx

one thing i have learnt through all this is that im not surprised in the fact alot of girls dont report crimes like this, but a few pointers you all need to know is that when the police say "special measures" can be put into place to stop the media getting your name should be taken as utter boll**** as this is not the case! ONLY a judge can promise that (and very rarely does) and secondly very important sign your statement with your working name (perfectly legal) as the defendant gets access to this information which is unbelievable. also please dont ever be scared to report crimes against us as they are taken seriously and delt with, and if not shout louder lol xx

Glad he got a guilty....... i know what you mean about the name thing as i also went to court when some one robbed the flat where i worked from . The first thing i did at the start of the  trial was to send the judge a hand written note begging him not  to allow the papers to publish my name .....as  my children were taking exams and didn't know what i did and why should their lives be ruined etc . At first no one wanted to give the judge my note but i insisted till it was taken .(The judge sent back one  saying basically  he understands my concern for my family and thanked me for going to court to testify and that it would be fine )  

I already knew i had to ask the judge as my friend had already been named and shamed so to speak .
