I have been accused of criminal damage to a car...if I was guilty what would happen ? I have no previous convictions but the person alleging the incident had me cautioned for harrassment...it sounds ridiculous and almost lies...but was based solely on e-mails and telephone calls....so absolutely nothing vicious or nasty...now worrying that she made this harrassment thing stick...what could happen to me ?

Hi headteacher: Conditional cautions are commonly used for offences of criminal damage, the main condition obviously being to pay the victim compensation etc.
I fail to see how you could qualify for a caution after all that has gone on because not only have you already received one related caution (which had no affect) you have technically continued on a course of conduct which amounts to further criminal harrassment.
There is one major tactical advantage in your situation by having a competent legal rep with you at the police station (which I do not wish to explain in a public forum) but it is important you take the advice others have given you regarding this matter.
Also, should you find yourself getting arrested for further offences against your ex then you can reasonably expect to be placed in front of a court for an application to be remanded in custody pending any trial if charged etc.
(please note I am actually trying to help).

Headteacher-- unless you start telling the whole truth to your union rep and a solicitor pronto -- you can kiss your headship goodbye. You are prevaricating on the issue you face -- whic h is a case of criminal damage-- which you admit.What else do you need to know--face up to the fact that you will be sentenced at some point, and that you will in all probablity lose your job.Stop mucking about with on line legal help, see real people and be quick about it.
Many thanks DH...to be honest reading all this through you can see how much people have tried to help. I did take your advice and have been working with the Police and a solicitor+union etc...having little or no experience of these sorts of matters meant that I needed someone to work through with me the mechanics. I understand that there will always be people who feel free to give their opinions bluntly, but I realise that I have learnt that so much about this sort of thing is context related, I will never ever judge someone so quickly, as I have in the past, again.
