I'm a bit shocked at your reply ,I must admit.

To be fair to both Kizzy and the Police... I agree with you Parmy that the police (at the very least, the majority of police in the UK) would take this seriously and investigate thoroughly and with sympathy for the victim, that's been my experience of the actual police officers at least.

However, Kizzy is also right in that these things very rarely make it to prosecution at all let alone any sort of jail time for the perpetrator. That however is down to the legal system and the police have not much say at all in what actually happens with it past the point of them questioning/taking someone in. The police are obviously not perfect but TBH I suspect if it was their choice, a lor more would be done about sexual predators. Again though, any legal consequences are out of their hands, that's not what the police does.
