Over the last few days i have had a few brushes with the local police. Firstly there was a "serious sexual assault" on a woman at a derelict house like 6 houses down from me late on Tuesday night. The house has been sealed off, tape and people guarding it and forensics so I think we all know what they mean by "serious." I tried asking the guy guarding it what had happened but he wouldn't tell me but i read it in the paper later on. A few kids from round ours have had partys in there in the past, but nothing like that will be able to happen now. When it first happened there were rumors that because its waiting to be demolished the builders had lifted up the floorboards and found some Fred West shit in there but obviously not..
Secondly, I got a phone call last Thursday about an incident in Stockton Heath, involving someone matching my description. I turned up for my interview this morning to find out I am being accused of pinching a 12 year old girl's bum as she walked home from school. Now i can safely say it wasn't me now as I was in work and was cooking my tea (cheesy beans on toast) and getting a lift there from 4.30 onwards which is when its meant to happen, but i cannot actually prove anything to this policewoman I've realised. The description the poor girl has given is uncanny compared to me, my college matches the uniform, and although all they have is this girl's description to go on, i can't actually prove i wasn't there.
The girl said 5"7 (im 6"2 so thats way off) dark hair, short, long sideburns, sweeping fringe (that hair isnt as bad as it sounds btw, described in detail my uniform, pale complexion, and i had bags under my eyes. After the policewoman read that out she looked at me and said "Its you to a tee." So because of that i had fingerprints taken, DNA taken on a swab from my cheek, and a mugshot! All of this without legal representation because on the phone last week i was told mum could sit in with me, yet when we got there today she said i was being tried as an adult, but i hadn't sorted any legal representation so had to go on my own, which i now regret but i didn't want to wait, just wanted it over with. Anyway, they have been calling my work to check times, all of school knows, and thank the lord my friends are helping me see the funny side.
They are going to call me again in the next few days to go down to Runcorn to record myself for an ID parade in a method called "Viper?" but she said this could drag on all summer. Whoever has done it is looking at prison time if they have a criminal record and if not they'll be on the sex offenders register anyway.
In short, absolutely bricking it.
