Do you mind me asking who told you that the reason the police dropped charges is because he spun them a brilliant tale and blamed you?
Did you hear this directly from the Police?
My feeling is that mainly these cases are dropped because there’s not enough evidence to follow the case through to court.
If you got the message that ‘the police didn’t believe you’ from him, then be careful.
He’s very much controlling the narrative and using fear to control you. ( the fear that no one will believe you)
You are in a very vulnerable position. You’ve done really well to get away and begun the process. Well done, it takes immense strength to do what you’ve done.
