Hi All.
New here, and I am going to have to be careful in any details I post so my posts may be fairly vague so I apologize for this.
Basically, an ex partner of someone I know made a false allegation of rape over a four year period.
Both the partner and another member of his family were arrested last year, early 2016 for multiple rape.
After being interviewed and held in custody for 36 hours, both were released on bail as the CPS at that stage refused charge, their bail was initially for three weeks as the "Police" said that they believed they'd be able to obtain sufficient evidence to charge by then.
That bail date came and they were both rebailed as no progress was made.
They were bailed again for two months, then rebailed again for three months then the final time for seven months.
The latest updates are that in November 2016, last year, "Police" had a face to face with the CPS which after said they wanted more evidence and more enquiries made, they sent the OIC away with a shopping list to what they needed to obtain.
Their bail date is due in a few days, with this time no extension being made - usually this happened two weeks before saying it had been extended.
Last week Police obtained third party, social services records and that's the last update.
Sadly, since the arrest, one member of the family who was arrested who is in his 80's has for very ill and very fast - I would expect that if he's charged, he won't be alive to see a trial due to how ill he is (Lost 6 stone, barely eating, not sleeping, chest pains, doctor aware).
The partner is similar, a changed person already, doesn't socialize anymore and is withdraw.
My questions are, how soon is the OIC likely to have a charging decision? Weeks before/days or hours?
Can legal personnel request postal charge? To lesson impact and so its less intimidating.
How soon from charge to magistrate hearing will it be? A week or less?
What sort of level of evidence do the CPS require to charge? There will be no evidence of wrongdoing, as they are innocent, if you read between the lines any sane person can see she's lying and she has motive (I won't to into why she has as it may identify the persons)
Surely the CPS can't charge without any evidence?
