After going to the police, she “made it plain” that she did not want any action taken against her family, saying that the arrest of her father or brother would put her in “genuine danger”, the court heard.

Um, so when she was retracting the statement that she was in danger, she was still saying she was in danger? And the police are still not doing anything?

also oh noez some menz might have been erroneously maligned we'd better talk about that bc its way more important than violence against a young girl
