Confused. Is this over?
Notifications OFF
My partner was on bail, had to go back today to apparently find out what CPS were going to do.
When he went in, the policeman he was supposed to see wasn't in, but he saw another policeman who just sent him home. No other bail condition. No 'come back at... Date'
Nothing.
What does this mean?

Was he told if any action was being taken?
My husband was told the CPS weren't taking it any further so there's no further action.

He wasn't told anything I don't think.
I wasn't with him. But they said he isn't on bail anymore and sent him home.
No paperwork etc.
I'm confused.

If he's not on bail I'd assume its NFA but youd want to get that confirmed. Have you asked his solicitor to confirm? My husband didnt get any paperwork either.
Good morning,
I am pleased that you have been able to use the forum for ongoing support and to answer these difficult questions.
Navigating the criminal justice process can be a tricky and confusing time and different individuals might have different experiences so I will briefly outline the two main routes these investigations take. For more information on these I would encourage you to call the helpline.
Sometimes when an individual becomes known for this type of offence they are placed under investigation straight away. They remain this way, without bail conditions until the investigation is complete.
Others are arrested and placed on bail. This might get extended, but if the police cannot complete the investigation in the time that an individual is on bail then they will release them under investigation. This also means that their bail conditions are lifted. Unfortunately, it does not mean that the investigation is finished unless the police have explicitly told you that they are taking ‘no further action’ or a NFA. The investigation will then continue until the police have completed it.
If you are not sure about the stage that your partner is in, I would advise contacting your solicitor or encouraging your partner to contact his investigating officer, just to confirm.
If you wanted to discuss any of this further, then I would advise that you contact our Stop It Now! helpline where our trained operators will be more than happy to help.
Best wishes,
Lucy
