There are countless numbers of isues that can derail an initial complaint at the police level from ever being prosecuted let alone a conviction. Who made the complaint, was the victim cooperative at the time, was there any other evidence to support the complaint, was the complaint withdrawn, did the States Attorney feel the strength of the case warranted prosecution, etc? These are just some of the factors. Even with a sexual assault involving a minor, a sucessful prosecution still needs a cooperating victim to go to court. (unless the child is so young and there is physical evidence of a sexual assault) If a victim refuses to give police a signed, written statement...often the case goes south and an arrest either cannot be made (an arrest warrant will not get signed and be issued) or it is not prosecutable in court. Maybe FOI the investigation first and get some facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
