Oh and before he pitchforks come out, he was suspended whilst I was reading and typing my last post above
"See you next Tuesday" may well feature highly and often.
The only time i said no comment/reply all interview was when i was caught bang to rights [emoji1]. Tbf to the police they've always been fair to the situation and used common sense. I have complete respect for the police and thankfully they had respect for me in every dealing I've had with them.Sometimes a 'no reply' interview is the best thing, because they are not explaining their side of the story of what happened.
There will be no option than to charge to court if sufficient evidence and in the public interest. The courts will ask why they didn't explain in interview if they then give an account in court.
However if they offer a full admission then they could get a reprimand.
if it remains open I'd like to give updates that garner responses that hopefully help someone who may find themselves in a similar situation as well as proving useful to me.
You're in a difficult position. On the one hand; you have the police backing you but, on the other to deny that support, drop it and withdraw could compromise their grace.
It's generally here that posts will descend to tell you that you're being naive (in less subtle forms) and that the police are professionals. You know, the type of people who still believe that "Rape Suites" were a good idea.
Unfortunately, you could then be up for the wrong end of the law with a threatening behavior charge.
Did he use a solicitor? If so, that kick will have cost him something..
Unfortunately, the justice system is all about whether a conviction is likely, not whether an offence took place.
Why do you think so many people take out private prosecutions or even take the law into their own hands? The justice system, like so many other processes in our society, is all based on ability to pay and/or cost-effective resources.
You'll have to just let it go.

If he hadn't admitted anything at all then okay, there's not a lot else can be said.
But he's admitted doing it to a police officer. Surely that should carry some weight?
I don't claim to know anything about law, but you would like to think if this scumbag was asked under oath if he admitted it to the police, and he denied it - having 2 policemen willing to swear under oath that it did happen - should count for something.
Reading this thread makes my blood boil at the injustice, can't imagine how angry you must be.
