Sexual autonomy offense — non-prosecution (不起訴)

The complainant alleged forcible sexual intercourse and related conduct at a hotel; the file also noted separate prosecution of another defendant for related sexual offenses. After reviewing communications, medical evidence, and witness statements, investigators found insufficient suspicion.

Our attorneys compared the complainant's statements with objective evidence, highlighted inconsistencies and insufficient corroboration, and addressed consent, perception, and mens rea, requesting non-prosecution (不起訴).

• Are the complainant's accounts consistent and credible?
• Is corroborating evidence sufficient?
• Can the defendant's criminal intent be established?
