You can report anything to the police. The fact that it didn't lead to charges is suspicious. How do you as a company take a random person's words who makes a severe accusation against another indiviudal that isn't backed up with another authority?
- mrguyorama 4y agoThe vast majority of sexual assaults and rapes don't lead to any case at all, because prosecutors don't like to take hard-to-win cases to court and a sexual assault or rape case is pretty much impossible to convict. Criminal conviction requires "beyond a preponderance of a doubt", and how in the holy hell are you ever supposed to meet that with "he didn't stop when I told him to" and "she said yes"? It's basically a contract disagreement but there's no physical contract and no evidence of things that happened. It usually means a victim cannot get justice unless the people involved are stupid or willing to bypass the accused constitutional right to a fair and legit trial.
