▲ 141 r/LegalAdviceUK
My sister was the victim of a crime in 2024. Sentencing was supposed to happen today, but the perpetrator has absconded while on bail.
I'm just hoping someone can tell me what happens next.
We told the judge that this was gonna happen. He offered bail and we said hes just gonna run away. My sister got told off by the judge in court for shouting about it at the time.
Now what she said would happen happened. The guy is gone. Hes pissed off back home and hes got no intention of coming back. Even sent a mocking message on Snapchat.
Is there anything we can do about this judge or the situation? We literally told him this guy was going to run away if he was given bail.
Theres currently a warrant out for the guys arrest but police dont have an extradition agreement with the country this guy has gone to.
