Prague investigator fined 40,000 crowns for dismissing rape victim
A district court on Tuesday issued a non-final sentence against Prague police investigator Jana Michálková, ordering her to pay 40,000 crowns. The fine was imposed because she prevented a rape victim from reporting the serious criminal offence.
In the same case, the court discontinued prosecution of co-defendant police operative Jan Dalešický. More detailed information on the reasons for this decision was not immediately made public.
The case highlights problems with how police treat victims of sexual offences and the importance of proper investigation of such reports.
