I can't believe some of what I've read in this thread.
Whilst it's sad someone chose to end their life, there's no way the CPS should be criticised for trying to bring the case to trial. It's well documented that victims of domestic abuse will not want to press charges for many reasons such as a misplaced feeling of love, or fear of repercussions. Nobody can justify not bringing Caroline Flack to justice without justifying it for ordinary members of the public - otherwise you're claiming specialist treatment should have been given in this case because she's female, a celebrity or a combination of both. Quite frankly, I've read some ridiculous statements by Caroline Flack's management company and her friend, Laura Whitmore.
Laura Whitemore:
Caroline loved to love. That's all she wanted. Which is why a show like Love Island was important to her, because the show is about finding love, friendship, having a laugh. The problem wasn't the show. The show... is loving and caring and safe and protected.
Yes, it's caring, safe and protected which is why two contestants took their lives last year and only after the fact did the show start offering support for future contestants.
Also the show is about finding love? Hardly - it's a step ladder to fame for narcissistic pillocks that happens to make a production company and ITV lots of money by exploiting that desire. It should be canned just like Jeremy Kyle was.

The Crown Prosecution Service pursued this when they knew not only how very vulnerable Caroline was but also that the alleged victim did not support the prosecution and had disputed the CPS version of events.
'Alleged' - It's pretty clear he was the victim of assault. I guess you could say alleged is the correct term to use considering she hasn't been found guilty by jury and only charged, but let's face it - if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck...
