Geoff -
I should have been more clear; I only agree that your credibility isn't so great at the moment because of the charges, and because of other correspondence (private). All we have here on Wetpixel is your story. Without the other side's story public as well, I decided to remove the original post.
It isn't my place to speculate on your innocence or guilt; the legal system will deal with that, I suppose, but I do that the outcome is fair, whatever that means.
You're right, though, about closing the post. I'll do that now. Good luck with the case.
