The CPS has no business looking for "patterns of behaviour". That's the police's job when looking who might be a likely suspect. "Patterns of behaviour" are not illegal. Acts are. And they've no business, either, trying to make an act "plausible". They have to show, first off, that a crime has occurred. If they can't unequivocally do that, then there is no case to answer.


Try reading "To kill a mockingbird". The defendant got hanged, IIRC, in that, because no one was interested in the fact that the "victim" was still a virgin.
