The Man Who Abused Me Walked Free. Now I'm Investigating Why.

In September 2018, I reported the man who sexually abused me when I was 8 years old. The police investigation ended in no further action, and for years I accepted that as the outcome.

But after speaking to others who successfully prosecuted their cases, and after developing training sessions for the police themselves, I started spotting holes in how my own case was handled.

This is the first episode of a new series where I investigate the police, using my own case as the starting point. I've submitted a Subject Access Request to see the full file, they promised a response by 1 September, and that date has already passed with no word.

In this episode I cover:

- Why the man wasn't arrested at his house, and what that meant for the evidence

- What actually counts as "sufficient evidence" in historic abuse cases

- The statement my sister gave that may have opened a second, connected case

- Why I've now sent a Subject Access Request, and what happens next

If you have knowledge of police processes and procedures and want to help with this investigation, get in touch. I want to build this properly and document the whole journey.
