Rapist Goes Scot-Free, Successfully Argues ‘He Thought She Was Someone Else’
In a shocking case, an alleged rapist is walking around scot-free after prosecutors declined to prosecute him when he argued that he thought the victim was someone else.
The case occured in Davidson Country, Tennesse in the United States. The victim, Amy Dewland, has waived her right to privacy as a victim of sexual assault and wants people to know her story and how badly she has been treated by the criminal justice system.
Dewland reached out to local broadcaster Fox 17 News, saying the decision not to prosecute by the District Attorney’s Office in Davidson County is just as horrible as the rape.
The District Attorney’s Office is arguing that they cannot prove that her rapist “knowingly assaulted her.” Amy alleges that the man crawled into the bed she fell asleep in after a party and sexually assaulted her. She says that the man later claimed he was drunk and thought she was someone else with whom he had a sexual relationship.
Amy also shared emails that she received from the detective who investigated the case in which he informed her of the decision by the District Attorney’s office.
Detective Richard Hyatt from the Special Victims Unit also made it clear that he did not agree with the decision not to prosecute in a follow-up email.
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for the DA’s office said they were looking into the case to find out more information.
