Re: Is there a solicitor/copper/ex copper in the house

Not exactly, no.

A criminal act is considered an offence against the Queen' s (or King's) Peace, and not strictly against the complainant or alleged victim.

Once someone has been charged with an offence, it is the Crown Prosecution Service which then decides whether or not to proceed; that question is, technically speaking, out of the complainant or alleged victim's hands.

But in reality a complainant could recant or refuse to testify which, though not impossible, would make securing a conviction much more difficult (depending on the circumstances; for example, in your fact scenario, the act could have been witnessed by dozens of people).

Hope that helps.
