[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He is the SRO, I do not have attorney and do not know where to go from here. Could I just file a report with another cop?[/quote]

You definitely can. Though their first step will most likely be to check in with the SRO.

Why did the SRO not feel there was probable cause to charge? I know you don’t want to give too many details probably, but was the video not clear/detailed enough? Or the offense was not considered serious enough? [/quote]

The video was clear, I believe he just doesn't want to go through paper work and that stuff if the DA refuses to prosecute, but at least give us the right to file a report. [b]It was a light touch for a few seconds on the thigh. He tried to gaslight us into saying it is not serious[/b] enough but I know if I filed it with another cop they most likely would let us. It's the video I worry about.[/quote]

You want to press charged for sexual assault based on a light tough on the thigh for a few seconds?  It doesn't sound like the cop was gaslighting you, but was giving you an assessment of the likely outcome.

I obviously haven't seen the video, but based on OP's description, this sounds like a major overreaction.  [/quote]

I'm the PP who had posted about being groped and no charges coming from it.  I agree that's probably why the SRO talked OP out of a report.  BUT he still should have followed through with one.  It doesn't matter that he thought the outcome would be that nothing came with it.  It doesn't matter if he thought that OP and her daughter were overreacting.  That's not his job.  His job is to take the report and file it.  [/quote]

She's taking it extremely personally that they would not let us file a report, like they do not care at all.[/quote]

I'm the same PP.  It's harsh, but they don't really care that much.   It's a shitty realization to have and it's a tough one when you're faced with it, especially when you're young and it happens someplace where you're supposed to be safe, like school or the bus.  But empower her now.  Go to the police dept and file that report.  Get her a therapist.  Go to the school.  You've gotten a lot of good advice here.  Will you get the consequences you are hoping for?   Unfortunately the likelihood is you won't.  But showing her that you still stand up for yourself and don't just sit silently is important.   But, I think the therapist part is pretty critical here.  The fact that he's not going to get charged with anything (probably) isn't some personal attack against her and she'll need some help realizing that.   [/quote]
