Basically, ive been really worried about what happened yesterday.
Firstly, i realise my mistake, so no berating please.
I foolishly decided not to buy and ticket as by the time i had reached the station i realised i had no money with me and it was a 15 minute walk back to my house. I was caught by an inspector trying to go through the barriers on someones elses ticket at Chelmsford and then he found a child ticket on me from Chelsmford to Ingatestone from a previous date when i had told him my journey starts at Harold Wood, i said i was travelling to Ingatestone on the day but he didnt believe me.
He wrote down everything i said then proceeded cautioned me, read me my rights and said i would recieve a magistrate summons.
Am i going to recieve a criminal conviction? i just turned 18 and have been travelling the same route for 7 years without even a penalty fare notice for an invalid ticket or not producing one. This was a one-off mistake i made which i totally regret and am worried it may affect my employment chances in the future.
