It's moot if she personally talked to the police or not. She knowingly let the lie go on as if it's true for 2 years. So someone believing her serious accusation and going to the police, doesn't absolve the 16 year old who should very much know better, not speaking up that the accusation never actually happened. Embarrassing or not.

Also only bad people intentionally and knowingly let someone's life get ruined due to a serious lie they started in the first place. Regardless whoever forwarded the lie she started, to the police. She knowingly said nothing as people believed her serious accusation.

Apologist for this girl want to act like this is exclusive behaviour to teenagers or children who would just let a serious lie accusing someone of a crime ruin another person's life. That type of behavior is perpetuated in bad people of all ages and genders.

Its not necessarily a moot point depending on what she said if she talked to them We only assume she let the lie go on for 2 years. Its always possible she told the truth, but everyone just didnt believe her. That said, its also possible she did let the lie go on. The problem is we have no idea either way, it seems

Is it even possible to build this case without having the police or the prosecutor talking to her?

I think you can. There have been certain cases, IIRC, where the victim isnt pressing charges, but the prosecutor will. And in those cases, I think they can build a case without talking to the the alleged victim. That said, these guys seemed pretty shitty at their job, so I wouldnt put it past them

I haven't looked deeply into this story so I won't comment on her interactions with the police. But "officer presence" is level 1 on the force continuum for a reason. Teenagers try to bullshit their parents. When uniformed cops are talking to them, it's a different story. It's scary to have cops interrogating you regardless of what you've read about beforehand ("don't say anything without a lawyer" etc.), and believe me, I know that from experience.

I havent looked much into it myself. I was just wondering if someone actually talked to her. And if they did, if she actually said something
