Has anyone here had somebody charged with sexual assault and wouldn't mind sharing thier stories about how the court process went? I am at the start of what I know is a long process and would like to speak to other women who have been through the same thing. (Spousal rape) or any support services that may be helpful (already aware of SASS) thank you

Is through the reported channels and lead by the police?
If so i can give you a run down as i have just finished with a case of this.
I reported it to the police, had a police interview, had to make a statement. Followed by more interviews. He was arrested and then we had mention dates through court. Then a hearing where we met the crown prosecutor the morning of were briefed, sat in the court room, was questioned on the stand cross examined. Asked more questions, gave my impact victims statement the verdict was given. Then went back 2 months later for sentencing. All in total its been 12 months of absolute horrible nightmares and stress anxiety. I wish you all the best keep it truthful and to the point
