MAN ACCUSED OF MOLEST AT WORKPLACE, NO CCTV. “YOU SAY VERSUS I SAY”

My close colleague has been accused of molesting by a woman from another organization, but sharing the same workplace.

A police report was made but my colleague is adamant that he didnt molest her as what she claimed.

Does anyone know whats the usual process that the police will undertake for this kind of case?

Will he need to be detained etc? From what i understand that area has no cctv camera. SO its kind of her words against his. How would the police begin to investigate with so little to work on?

Sincerely appreciate your help.

Here are what netizens think:

• Sorry to hear that you’re in this unfortunately situation. Best advice is to get a good criminal defense lawyer and try to mitigate the situation. Going forward, learn to protect yourself, i.e. don’t be in an enclosed room with another female and keep a distance of at least a chair at all times.

• Hope the bad person is sent to jail (if real then the guy need jail, if fake then the girl need jail)

• It don’t have to be a touch or slap or a grap of a female breasts or crotch to be consider OM. An innocent tap on a female thigh can also constitute to OM. The benefit of doubt is usually given to the female especially if there is an absence of CCTV or other evidence. It will also depends on the victim’s reputation. If she is a normal girl holding a normal job and has no previous convictions like making a false report or giving false information, her words against your friend, is strong. If she is a working lady of the night, the situation will be different and the benefit of the doubt might be given to the Accused. In some certain cases and scenario, OM can be compound and settled out of Court.

• Am female and how can a tap on a female’s thigh be innocent? There are other parts of a woman that someone else can tap. Or just open their mouth and call us…
