If you are a complainant but then go back on your word and refuse to testify, I think that's a little different situation than being incarcerated out of the blue.

Such a person has made a false report of a crime (a felony in many states) or is now attempting to compound a felony.

Unfortunately many victims of abuse rightly distrust the justice system because it has NOT protected victims in the past. And the perps *always* blame the victim for calling the cops, and escalate the abuse. So it never ends well, and there's plenty of blame to go around.

As I said before, we don't know all the facts here, but if she made the initial complaint, she is hardly an innocent victim of State overreaching.

If you are commenting from this article without any other substantiating details about this story, I shudder to think what other freedoms you think should be sacrificed in the name of safety. I really do. The post to which I am replying makes a *lot* of assumptions about this person.

The only suggestion that anyone has “gone back on” anything comes from your post, not the information from the source.

I find it concerning that you are resorting to assumptions and inventions to justify government overreach.

If you grant the State the power to arrest you, the victim, to be sure you testify, one day, the State will reason that it also has the opposite power—the power to arrest you to ensure that you do *not* testify.
