On timing, I think the fact he was selected for as a candidate for the next GE with the local party unaware has been deemed “newsworthy”.

I’m not even convinced their assessment went as far as that.
From their own statement
Quote:
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command have now concluded their assessment and have determined there is no information to indicate that a criminal offence has been committed.
In reaching this decision, they have spoken to a number of parties including the BBC and the alleged complainant and the alleged complainant’s family, both via another police force. There is no further police action. As such, the Met has advised the BBC it can continue with its internal investigation.”

I interpret that as the parents being asked to put up or shut up. On top of the firm, unequivocal statement from the victim themselves issued through their lawyers, it’s hard to see what lawful basis they’d have to go around snooping in people’s devices.
