The Crown Prosecution Service said that the charges were dropped because key witnesses stopped cooperating."We have to keep cases under constant review," a spokesman said.

"In this case, there was no longer a good chance of being found guilty because key witnesses dropped out and new information came to light. Under these conditions, we have to stop the case.

"We've told everyone about our decision."We would always tell possible victims to come forward and tell the police, and we will go to court if the legal requirements are met."

Ch. Supt. Michaela Kerr said, "This was not a decision that was made lightly.""I would, however, like to use this opportunity to restate the force's commitment to investigating claims of violence against women and girls and supporting those impacted, regardless of their circumstances, throughout what can be a terrible and stressful time for them," she said.
