Indeed this was my understanding. There could be other stuff that they are trying to collect more evidence of, who knows.
Hate to bring it back to the Huw case but its got interesting parallels.
People mention the expensive lawyer, inferring that the "victim" could be benefitting somehow for denying the accusation.
And also that the victim could be lying. Same can happen here. Especially if there has been significant threats in the past in regards say violence if someone was to go to the police.
Its not unheard of that victims are so under the influence of the accused that they will deny anything despite there being strong evidence that the crime did take place.
So you mean, for example, the victim may not allege a crime has taken place if the perpetrator is financially compensating the victim (say with money for crack) and this would then restrict any police action despite a crime having been committed?
