Disgusting but more evidence against them.
Can't remember a crime outraging me as much as this one. Still cannot fathom how bail has been granted to 2 of the men as it appears police have a strong case against them.
This is messed up and a confusing one. Seemed like an open and shut case when I first read about it.
Can only think she has withdrawn her statement.
Yes. That is exactly what it means when charges are withdrawn.amazing really. So you can gang rape 14 years old now?
Something seriously off. For it to suddenly disappear. Just like that given the outrage.
Donners. Or anyone? What happened? Somehow the evidence got stuffed, Frankston re visited or something else entirely?????????
Given the publicity, outrage and concern this case generated why did it disappear without a trace? Or explanation?
I have some knowledge of it, so I won't comment specifically.
Broadly, matters are discontinued for a variety of reasons. It could be because there are insufficient prospects of conviction, or because it is not in the public interest to proceed or - and quite commonly in sex offence matters - because the complaint does not wish to proceed.
Reasons are not required to be given for a discontinuance, and it is almost always the case that they are not given.
The media coverage of this matter has been excessive and intrusive, leading to much ill-informed debate, and it is in everyone's interest for it to be left in the past.
Given the publicity, outrage and concern this case generated why did it disappear without a trace? Or explanation?
Because the publicity, outrage and concern was all generated by tabloid media (and by reporters who probably get more recognition for clicks than facts), not by people who had any independent knowledge of the case?
