Re: alleged sexual assult

Not sure what you mean when you ask if it is a good thing.

If you are the victim, it is terrible.

If you are the defendant, you can breathe easier.

In most cases like this there is no additional information for the investigating officer to uncover. If he/she has no more information to offer to the DA, then the case will likely fade away.
