Doubt there will be a case on Wednesday. Just come up for mention. Unless he pleads guilty or the prosecution withdraw.
Not necessarily. The prosecutor may issue a subpoena.
Which she could ignore.
She can. In which case it is contempt of court and she may be arrested and brought before the court to give evidence.
Who knows, but that fkn stupid hat is the reason he was rebuffed!!!!
Yes, I believe he can dance…..they call him the octopus
If she doesn’t want to press charges I don’t think the police can go forward with it . I think it’s only domestic violence where the police continue because so many people are pressured by the partner to drop them
He’d have eight charges in that case.
If he broke the law it is a police matter and the complainant becomes a witness. This isn’t a civil case.
That’s true but it’s hard to determine non-consent if the party does not want to press charges. Despite her initial complaint, without her following that up in court and confirming the non-consensual sexual touching it would be difficult to convict.
If a witness no longer pursues it they lose a lot of credibility, so the cops also usually drop the case (but often with heavy warning to accused). Police could go that hypothetical complainant for giving false info but under most circumstances they don’t bother. The accused may also pursue civil action but again unless it’s real high profile with distinct loss of reputation/income, most also won’t bother.
If they proceed with a hearing, they’ll absolutely subpoena her. All civilian witnesses are subpoenaed.
