I don't know how the justice system works in Qld, but in NSW they don't necessarily require the alleged victim to make a complaint in DV related matters. If there is other evidence available ie CCTV, other witnesses who provide statements then that is sufficient to proceed. Given the fact these incidents are alleged to have occurred in a casino there would be cameras covering just about everywhere and it sounds like there were plenty of people around during the three incidents. Given the high profile nature of the incident I would expect the Police to obtain all the available evidence before laying charges, applying for protection orders etc if appropriate.
This is true, how ever, it very much depends on what is shown in the footage. It’s never clear cut and there is a hell of a lot to consider before the police will lay charges with out a victim statement.
I’d recommend not trying to guess, just wait and see what occurs. Spectaculation under these circumstances is pretty pointless.
