Hello,

I received a call yesterday from a police station in Birmingham following up a complaint made by a member of the public. They asked if I was at a Party in Birmingham on the 9th October and when I could get up to Birmingham (I live in London) to be interviewed. When I asked they said it was involving an innocent with myself and an Mr Ainslie.

I’m aware that an allegation was made by a neighbour of the girl who hosted the party that Mr Ainslie and I committed a sexual act in the street in the early hours whilst waiting for a taxi. Mr Ainslie and I did leave the party together and wait for a taxi, after both having a lot to drink. We've known each other for some time, strictly plutonic friendship but we did kiss that night but only as a result of drunken foolery and we both went home separately. Both of us have any memory of this event. I do remember a neighbour complaining about the noise whilst we where waiting for the cab and complaining about the disruption. Mr Ainslie and I had already left the party by that point and was waiting for our cab to take us back into town.

I’m obviously very concerned about the allegations but have no idea how to proceed. Should I arrange a visit to Birmingham to be interviewed? Should I take legal representation? I don’t really understand what I’m being charged with or the severity of it.

How would you recommend I proceed?

Many thanks,
