Charles Saachi voluntarily walked into a police station, presumably to cut short this trial by media, where the only people who profit are the paps and the lawyers. Everyone wringing their hands about poor Nigella should bear in mind that this happened over a week ago, and no complaint was made by Nigella herself. So it looks like some people are far more upset than Nigella herself was.

Many victims of abuse are very slow to report their partners, mainly because they have been conditioned to believe they are at fault for their partners behaviour. Nigella has moved out that is far more telling than reporting him, he is after all a seriously rich man who can employ top lawyers to defend himself. He has attended a police station presumably on the advice of his lawyers to minimise the damage to his public persona, nothing more.

So your assumption is that Nigella has been conditioned by long-term abuse, again with absolutely no proof apart from your imagination. Nigella's not exactly a pauper herself, you know, and I'm sure could afford a pretty good lawyer. And yes, Saachi may well have been advised to take himself to the police. However, I have highlighted the operative word in your last sentence.

I have highlighted yours as well, of course it is all speculation, but I can understand why she might not have reported him.
