Five months ago, my friends 25 year old son, was arrested and interviewed concerning an allegation of rapeing his ex partner. They had split up, but ended up in bed. Just before intercourse took place, she changed her mind. He went and slept on the settee. A few hours later, he was woken by the police, arrested, taken to the station and questioned. Eventually he was bailed pending enquiries. He has answered bail every four weeks, without being charged. The police say the delay is due to a back log at the lab of dna tests.
I have read through many posts here and taken note of the advice given which he is finding very helpful. My question is, is it likely the police are playing games? Trying to pressure him until he admits his guilt? Or perhaps believing if they wait long enough he will rape again? I do not understand the delay and wonder if he can use it to his advantage?
I have known this lad all his life and know from the bottom of my heart there is no way he commited this crime.
Can anyone advise please?
