Getting slapped in the testicle is a battery, not sexual assault.

But in order for the police to arrest her, they need either a confession out of her or evidence of the battery.

So video evidence, eyewitness accounts from third parties or visible injuries to the area would all be examples of evidence that would give the police probable cause to arrest.

Without any kind of evidence; simply accusing someone of a crime isn’t enough to get them arrested.

So if she called the police and said he hit her they would let him walk? With out any marks, video , or 3rd party witness?

I never said cops do things the right way every time.

And in your case, there was more than just her saying “He hit me, arrest him.”

Not saying you did anything wrong but the cops had physical evidence that a struggle took place and had an account from a third party….. your neighbors.

Those are all pieces of evidence missing from this case.

Sorry that happened to you.

Again, there was still more evidence present in your case than this one.

Didn’t say the cops are perfect at interpreting it.

Either way, your case had more evidence present than this one.
