You mean the guy who's also been charged with human trafficking and money laundering, plus numerous other crimes. It's not exactly your typical rape case is it? Plus you neglected to mention that five other women have also accused him of rape. So I reckon the Romanian police and judicial authorities have plenty of accusers, who have come forward to point the finger at this guy. And they're not as you claim, pursuing criminal charges against this individual, merely because they believe a crime has been committed, but because actual victims have come forward and accused him.This is completely false. If you have checked the laws for your own home (state/country/whatever) and found that to be the case where you live, then okay, but the assumption that it's a universal state of affairs is way off. And the belief that jurisdiction makes no difference is bizarre. Of course jurisdiction makes a difference. The laws in one place are different from the laws in another place, and that makes a difference.
For example, in my home state (in the US), if the police believe that they have evidence of a crime, they can make an arrest, even if the supposed victim says that they don't want to press charges, or insists that nothing happened. And if the prosecuting attorney believes that he or she has a good enough case to take to court, they can prosecute the crime, whether the victim wants to press charges or not. And I know of other states which have similar laws.
Also, I have no idea why you would suggest that there is no place in the world where they would pursue a rape case when the supposed victim says there was no rape. We currently have a very high profile case in Romania which has been making international news for months now, where a man is being charged with rape and is currently on house arrest, awaiting his trial, and his two supposed victims have both spoken out and stated that there was no rape, and the sex was completely consensual.
Make no mistake, rape charges can be pursued in many jurisdictions, even when the supposed victim doesn't want them pursued.
The police can arrest whoever they want, if they believe a crime has been committed. But without proof provided by the victim, medical evidence that a rape has occurred and testimony, or a confession by the perpetrator, it is virtually impossible to convict anybody, since there are usually no other witnesses to the actual crime. In those circumstances it would never be prosecuted, whichever country it is in the world
When I say anywhere in the world. I mean specifically within democratic states, where the police and judiciary, typically are not corrupt. Obviously there are parts of the world, where this is not the case, and evidence and proving a person's guilt are not required to get a conviction.
