It wouldn’t even have gone to the CPS. You have to be arrested and charged for charges to go to the CPS. The police didn’t even feel there was enough evidence to arrest him, let alone charge him. It’s absolute rubbish to say that there must have been loads of evidence but the CPS nixed it because it never even got as far as the CPS.
Apparently the police do send certain charges to the police without an arrest like minor traffic offences or fraud. But not sexual offences. They can seek advice from the CPS on the investigation but the CPS can’t stop the investigation. The police didn’t find the evidence compelling enough to do further investigation like searching his hone or taking his devices. All the indications are that the evidence is very weak. No arrests, no further investigation, no searches and only one interview.
Nihal was on someone’s show yesterday and he said it’s a very small industry and if people are wrong ‘uns people know and there are whispers in the corridor and it’s an open secret and this has been the situation with all the recent high profile cases. But he said he’s worked with Scott for many years and he’s never heard a bad word said about him.
It’s also being reported that the BBC decided to sack him because he pushed back hard against the allegations which he would if he would if he was innocent.
Saying a file would have been sent tothe CPS and they decided not to prosecute without him even being arrested is well wide of the mark.
