The reason they did not press charges of assault was due to the 6 month time limit on assault charges passing during the enquiry.

Common assault does not require proof of injury, but it is subject to a strict six month time limit. That placed the CPS in a very difficult position because enquiries were continuing at the six month point and it would not have been possible to have brought any charge at that stage.


So the officer only escaped being charged on a technicality. Given that he cannot be tried for assault in a court of law, justice can never be done even in the 'internet court'.
