I do not know if prosecutors have immunity in the UK, however, private attorneys often act as prosecutors. It’s like public defenders in the U.S., mostly public officials, but an indigent defendant may be assigned a private attorney in the U.S. In the U.K. any attorney admitted to practice can be called upon to prosecute.* Some lawyers may prosecute as many cases as they defend.
It is my impression - though I cannot prove it - that British prosecutors are more committed to justice, they are not necessarily career prosecutors, and do not make their bones by taking as many scalps as possible.
*Rumpole never prosecutes.

I think I read here a few days ago:
Teen girls average about 4400 texts a month, and teen boys about 2500. This is about 2850/month.

Some prosecutors take advantage of that too.I remember one guy that sent several innocent men to death row before he was exposed. One man had already been executed but the rest of them were exonerated.

Just another reason for young men and young women to not engage in intercourses outside of the bonds of marriageIntercourses? Is that what the kids call it these days? I can never keep up.

If someone doesn’t fight back and scream, isn’t threatened with a deadly weapon or isn’t drugged then it’s not rape. Any lesser standard is just going to result in endless false accusations.

I'm racked with guilt if I inadvertently do something to hurt someone else. How do you deliberately sit on evidence so someone's life is utterly destroyed, particularly when you're in "law enforcement"? The answer is quite simple. In court both sides want to hide the truth from the jury. Ironic is it not, that the court is supposed to be the place truth is revealed and justice prevails. Sometimes it happens but this is not the rule of normal.
ps
Called for jury duty once. The defense struck me due to the fact I had a background in science and medical. They did not want a logical thinker.

Trust me - there are plenty of people, women especially, who can hide the crazy enough to fool people for weeks, months or even years.

If you read the article, you see that she was sending him many thousands of text messages about her rape fantasies. Not hiding the crazy.

Read the article? You must be new here.
But seriously, the article is a little vague about the sequence of events. He is accused of assaults over a 14 month period, and the article never says if she sent any of those emails before the first encounter, or if they were all during the course of the 14 months after the first encounter, or if they were all after the 14 months. So, this could easily be a scenario where she appeared normal the first time, then inundated him with the emails during the 14 months afterward, to where he became increasingly uncomfortable with the situation and finally decided to end it, at which time she cried rape.
