>James Ransone reported in 2021 that the Baltimore County police and prosecutors did not pursue charges after he came forward with allegations of childhood sexual abuse by his former tutor>Following an investigation, a detective informed Ransone in September 2020 that prosecutors "had no interest in pursuing the matter any further," and the Baltimore County State's Attorney's office ultimately did not bring charges.> "had no interest in pursuing the matter any further,">had no interest>his abuser still works and enjoys lifeCan somebody please explain how the U.S. justice system works? Can someone just get molested and the molester just walks because cops "have no interest"? Americans, explains yourselves.
>>217811122Probably because of statue of limitations o algo
>>217811122who cares?
>>217811215Then what is this weird wording "have no interest"? They can just ignore some crimes they're not interested then?
>>217811322I do, the whole thing is pretty insane.
Legal cases have a very high burden to investigate and prosecute here with a chance of securing any kind of conviction. This means that they pick and choose what they're going to seriously pursue. "A guy diddled me 30 years ago" isn't going to be very easy for them to just up and press on. They probably told him to take it up as a civil case and pay for his own lawyer.Of course exceptions apply, like being a woman and crying until they finally go and do it because you're special
>>217811388Okay, so say it's a kid that says "this guy diddled me 3 months ago". What is the process then? Also, why is it that there's so much sexual abuse going on in the states, even with people who are famous/rich?
