If she named the person she is accusing, wouldn't it be defamation of character? Considering that as far as the law is concerned it "never happened"?
What? That's not how "defamation of character" works.
No I mean if she went around accusing someone of something like that without formally filing charges. Because I mean c'mon this seems like a pretty clear cut case here unless she has any evidence.
It sounds like she did contact the police, and they have just chosen not to pursue the case. I don't thing he'd succeed in any defamation suit.
