They investigate then send the results of the investigation to the Procurator Fiscal with recommendations of what offences they think the person has committed, in Scotland the Procurator Fiscal then decides whether or not to proceed with the prosecution.

That's where I think that they will decide that due to public reaction - and due to the very serious and very severe impact it may have (on all 3 people involved) -that they will no pursue any prosecution.
then there's the point of Civil Law vs Criminal Law - what may not be under Criminal Law, may be covered by Civil Law and then on the roundabout we go......
