No shit, Sherlock. It’s the decision not to prosecute him for the many other allegations that is questionable. But 8/9 years even for one rape and other sexual assaults is too little.

There wasn’t enough evidence with a reasonable prospect of conviction to prosecute any others. That’s what happens when someone drugs their victims.

We don’t know that, do we? That wasn’t the reason given. The CPS prosecutes date rape cases on far less evidence every week.

No, we don’t know. The lawyers who made the decision do. You’ve no idea the strength or weakness of evidence they had.
