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.
