Serious allegations of sexual assault
Criminal proceedings for sexual attacks are always an extremely serious and delicate matter. This applies not only to those affected, but also to those who are supposed to clarify the alleged acts – police and public prosecutor. In most cases, only two people are involved and there is no objective evidence. The statement then stands against statement. The perspectives often differ greatly about what happened.
This is also a tricky situation for the investigators, especially at the beginning of a procedure. Get in hard and take a suspect, for example, in custody, but in the end there is an acquittal in court, you get into sharp criticism. The suspect must then live with this type of prejudice. If you proceed more defensively at the beginning and a suspect escapes, it also hails serious allegations. « It's a loose-free situation, » says an experienced investigator.
