Claim for judicial review concerning the investigation of alleged criminal offences against the claimant. In summary, in August 2017, the claimant was a 15 year old boy with Down’s Syndrome, autism and communication difficulties. A few days after he spent some time at a respite care centre, he demonstrated actions that caused his parents to believe that he may have been subjected to a serious sexual assault, possibly rape. The police were contacted and an investigation carried out. Ultimately, the police decided that no further action could be taken.
