CPS can pursue a domestic violence charge even if victim says no - here's whyA rep for the late Caroline Flack has criticised the CPS' decision to pursue the high-profile case against the former Love Island star.

Of course they should be able to pursue a case,even if the alleged victim says no because those who suffer from domestic abuse are controlled & coerced and will often deny the abuse because of this.
