Hello,
I'm currently awaiting a date for a plea hearing for a charge relating to online sexual offences. I'm unsure what my sentence is likely to be but if it's non-custodial, I'm worried about returning home following the hearing as I know the local press will publish the street I live on, as they have done in all of their reporting of other sexual offences. I am currently in temporary accommodation but I may be in permanent social/council housing by then. Does anyone know if the publishing of my street name is grounds to have an emergency move to alternative accommodation? I wouldn't feel safe for myself or my family (they don't live with me) if the public knew where I lived as I have had credible threats of violence against me from someone close to the case, not just a vigilante group or general members of the public. I don't want to press charges as that will only aggravate the whole situation further.
Any responses are much appreciated.

You'll generally find that Cat C prisons are calmer than Cat B, because prisoners are further into the system and making progress. In the Cat B local where I started, on the VP wing, one spur was referred to as "Beirut", and on another, there was a small group of prisoners who liked to make life uncomfortable for new arrivals if they knew they were SOs. Eventually, a wing manager got tired of it and warned them off in public, suggesting that they weren't in any position to pick on anyone else. I'm guessing they didn't fancy the paperwork if anything happened.
