Police dropped harassment claims against a soldier who 'relentlessly' hounded a teenage colleague who is thought to have killed herself as a result, an inquest heard today.
A police investigation into a soldier who sent thousands of WhatsApp messages to a teenage colleague, leading to her suspected suicide, was dropped as it wasn't deemed criminal harassment. During the inquest, it was revealed that the messages didn't meet the criminal threshold, and the six-month statutory limit for such cases had expired. The inquest found harassment was a causal factor in her death, but no criminal charges were filed.
