8 th chapter first time being raided by police.

sure what day it was but it was in I think late in 1991  there was a knock at our front door when i opened it there were at lot of police they had a warrant to search house this was to do with running an escort agency my husband was taken to bury police station i stayed at house while police went searching for evidence of prostitution they found a spiel on me telling guys what i offer and that i offered fantasy outfits and charged for sex the piece of paper said it all and also found a pad with girls numbers on and addresses of were they lived at the days they were available to work i was then was taken to bury station on the understanding i was helping with there inquiries they then wanted to interview me i remember Tom telling me to ask for a solicitor so i asked for one was told i could be waiting for around 6 to 8 hours and that i would be out quicker if i just gave a statement stupid me i did they were trying to do my husband for running an escort agency and living of immoral earnings and that my school friend Rachel had accused my husband of rape and assault this was not to be true as for the other charges i took the blame myself and said i run the agency and took money from girls i was then arrested for procuring and immoral earnings when i was realized my husband was too i told him what i had done he went mad as i should of said nothing but i was young and wanted to protect my husband from these charges made  later we found out the day the hospital had logged that a Rachel had come in and had been attacked with bruises and had been raped  when I first heard of this I thought about the time we had a row and he had gone away for a few days then I thought Tom would never do that why would he have scraps when he had fillet steak at home our solicitor had noticed those dates that were logged were also the same dates we were in Majorca abroad for 10 days my first ever holiday abroad i was only 17 so i needed permission to go away as i needed a carers signature this was the time you could get a passport for a year instead of 10 years in the end i signed it myself pretending that my mum had given me consent so i forged her signature which was easy for me to do i had asked my social worker about going on holiday they said no but i went anyway when i got back i had a visit from social worker he commented on my tan i told him it was a fake tan he seemed not to care or be bothered to check were i had been they were not bothered what i was up to as long as i was available for them to visit me they came over twice in two years they came in asked how i was and to see if i was still with a boyfriend who they said was a reasonable adult    i knew my husband did not do it it was during the time me and Tom had had a bad row and he walked out on me for 6 days when he came back he said he had won money on a card game and that money would pay for our holiday to Majorca the court case took around a year or so to come to court in that time we had moved to my home town of peterborough and i started offering in-call massage and sex we were arrested after a few months this time i remembered to have a solicitor and to say no comment i was not going to be charged this time my husband was going to be charged with immoral earnings again we went to court but because we had the other court case still ongoing i was realized but still on bail for the other court case my husband was also realized without charge as there was no evidence against him the funny thing was they had followed us for months they even followed us to Brighton on a holiday we had put money into a save and the police knew we had put money in save we only found this out when we were arrested for the second time all that time and money the police wasted following us and then to be realized with no charge i think the reason being as we were on bail already for a bigger case well it was for bury but now we had a court date for our case in Ipswich crown court we had a choice at the first hearing to plead guilty and deal with the case there and then but we pleaded not guilty we had to stay in Ipswich in a hotel as we were now being told by judge we were both going to get a custodial sentence i did not once believe that would happen to me during this time i was 3 and a half months pregnant i fell pregnant while on holiday in Crete Greece i we went abroad a lot as it was so cheep and i was doing well as working as prostitute at the time its the only job i have ever had and its the only thing i know to make money all i have ever known was to sell sex that was so easy to do i enjoyed my job meeting guys knowing they could not wait to have sex with you it made me feel good i could have guys exactly were i wanted them my body was my lively hood i was sentenced to 3 moths in Holloway and my husband to 18 months in Norwich we only did half our sentencing in prison i hated it.
