Yep I can see why the headlines look bad. It just annoys me that some of the usual suspects moan and whine about the Police being useless when there involvement stops well before it gets to court and have very little impact on whether he was held remand or not.

Eh?
From the article, and I freely admit it might not be the whole story, it appears as though the guy broke the terms of registration on the sex offenders register and was arrested before being charged, remanded and eventually the CPS decided to drop the case at court.
