In the UK, the authorities can pursue a charge without the victim's consent, if they have evidence and feel that the aggressor poses a threat to other people. Charges don't have to be "pressed".
For the same reason the second statement is true: it's the intent of the aggressor that matters, as that's what poses the future risk.

And he definitely poses a threat to women. If he can act like that on public TV, what the hell is he like behind closed doors. Unfortunately, I don't imagine this will be the last time we hear about him attacking a woman.
