A mother-of-four has been left frustrated by the decision of the police not to charge her former husband who she says raped her multiple times in her sleep. The 38-year-old woman said she was physically, verbally, sexually and emotionally abused during the four-year relationship with the man.
The Manchester Evening News is not revealing her identity because of the sensitivity of her allegations, but we are calling her Alison - not her real name. The M.E.N. has seen a non-molestation order made against her now ex-husband in the Family Court at Manchester and the statement in which she lists the catalogue of abuse.
Alison claims she was told by police who investigated her allegations that the Crown Prosecution Service had said there was not enough evidence to charge the alleged perpetrator. However, Greater Manchester Police have told the Manchester Evening News that the evidence they gathered "did not meet the threshold" for referral to the CPS.
