It does happen that very ropey cases go all the way to CM just because no-one has the balls to stop it.
Especially in a case like this one where, were the RAF to be seen to do nothing, they could be open to a substantial vicarious liability claim.
The "march in the guilty bastard" / "it woudn't have got this far if he was innocent" brigade might do well to remember that.
I do agree that in these cases the alleged assaulter should be given the same anonymity as the alleged victim until anything is proved.
