Hey guys,
It was mid September that the OIC visited to pressure me into making a statement (which I didn't) and told me that the CPS had asked him to clarify some facts which I did. It is now a month on and the CPS still don't have my partner's case. I have been calling every week since the visit because I want to submit an email with my concerns to the CPS if they do ever get the case but I find it odd how they've still not got it. The officer also said 3 illegal images/videos had been found - not iioc but illegal apparently nontheless from a stupid Whatsapp group which people had sent him, I'm sure he said they were still going through the phone? Does anybody have any thoughts on this. Surely they would wait until the forensics had been finalised before saying anything and why mention CPS if the case isn't with them? I just can't get my head around the process and how it's executed.

Thanks Lee. It's the CPS I've been calling every week, I wouldn't call the OIC if my life depended on it. I would think the CPS wouldn't want to waste valuable money and resources on the images/case but who knows how things can go anymore. As for the original chat, the law clearly states it's only a crime if you don't reasonably believe a person is 16 or above which isn't the case either so it all feels like a load of fuss for nothing but we know too well that officers love to turn a spark into a full blown blaze so we just have to wait and wait until someone with some common sense and decency closes the book. Xx
Yes he did but the person didn't say they were 15 until late on in the conversation to which my partner then said you shouldn't be on this and ended the chat. I believe it's part of mistaken identity for a bigger case due to the photo of someone else and random KIK username shown to my partner in the interview and being asked if it was him. If that makes sense? Xx
Yeah definitely it has to be something like that. He was originally a part of a group on Kik and then ended up speaking to an individual from the group separately who turned out to be 15. I'm thinking that possibly a member of the Kik group has been rumbled for something and then it's opened this whole investigation. Honestly that is absolutely awful and I can't imagine how it must feel to be accused of that, the way you have been treated is atrocious, I don't know how they sleep at night.
This was my thought initially, how can they get it so wrong surely it isn't difficult to tell apart a person from a photograph of someone who is a different person (even if they are of a different ethnicity) but then there is a lot of racism in the police and laziness so why not just say case closed when you stumble across someone who sort of fits the description. It wasn't a police decoy as far as we're aware, nobody said it was. I really do think it's all connected to a bigger web of something that we probably won't even get to find out about because it'd breach "data protection". Never mind my data protection that all of my nude pictures and videos have been looked at by these officers and whoever does forensics. This is what drives me nuts on a daily basis because it all just makes no sense.

I think it's a case of this to be honest. Amongst laziness and personal prejudice. X
