Question

Answer 1

Here is the fourth time I am going to answer your question:

Anyway, they can collect physical evidence and run DNA samples. That is the BEST evidence in the world! One tiny hair and the perp goes to prison!

If no physical evidence is located, than her victim statement is going to be very powerful. A suspect would be interviewed and asked to take a polygraph. If they refuse? Wow... that sends a very powerful message to the jury. A victims account and positive ID of the attacker is very damning.

And when a jury looks in the eyes of a 14 year old rape victim, tearfully reliving the horrors of the crime, they see themselves, their daughters and grand daughters.

Convictions are almost always assured. And then its Prison for the defendant.

You know, the other prisoners really HATE child rapist in the joint. They tend to let the perp have a lot of their own medicine.

You were man enough to do the crime........ Now its time to be man enough to do the time!

Answer 2

Not sufficient evidence.
Victim refusing to testify
Victim changes her story making her an unreliable witness

It is illegal for a 14 year old to have sex even with her consent but thankfully people have to be proved guilty not innocent. Just think that burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt is your protection against a false accusation.

Answer 3
