My apologies. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19922#post-316743 Wed, 30 Oct 2019 11:34:08 +0000 unhurt 316743@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I very much hope not. There are many reasons why the police might decide no criminality was involved; punitive charges against people who have reported sexual violence increase the already very high levels of reluctance to report. (Most sexual assaults / rapes are never reported.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19922#post-316725 Wed, 30 Oct 2019 09:30:48 +0000 threefromleith 316725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just read that on the BBC this morning. Presumably the person involved will be charged with wasting police time at the very least. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19922#post-316715 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 21:26:39 +0000 edinburgh87 316715@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Police Scotland update on Facebook stating that "no criminality occured" following thei investigation </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19922#post-316667 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 11:08:08 +0000 threefromleith 316667@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah - as I wasn't on the bike yesterday, this is likely still the closure from yesterday's serious sexual assault incident. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19922#post-316652 Tue, 29 Oct 2019 08:24:27 +0000 threefromleith 316652@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Be aware: the police were manning a closure on the NEPN this morning around 6.10am heading towards the Red Bridge from Leith, near Ainslie Park.</p> <p>Everyone was being diverted through the new housing estate on the left and onto Ferry Road. </p>
