The investigation was only closed because it was believed that he'd be holed up in that embassy for the rest of his life and there was no realistic possibility he would be brought to court. As soon as he wasn't holed up there anymore, the investigation was reopened.
The accusers never withdrew the charges.
And putting the word rape in quotes really isn't a good look.
- jacknews 7y agoOf course, you can't withdraw a criminal charge. But they attempted to, I believe. And you don't close a case because the target is shielded - you may put it on the back burner, but not close it. Rape is sex without consent. That doesn't seem to be quite the case here. The "look" is quite clear, the rape charge is exaggerated.
