Our thanks to Alan for this. An excerpt:
A 49-year-old arrested by Surrey Police over claims he had raped his former partner said the policy had a ‘catastrophic effect’ on him when he spent four weeks on bail before being told he would not be charged.
‘There was not a shred of evidence in my case. This approach is out of control,’ he told The Sunday Times. ‘It means anyone can turn up in a police station, make an allegation and you will be arrested.’
By ‘anyone’ he means, of course, any woman.
