Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
If the woman made a report with the local law enforcement agency, you should contact them for the status of the criminal investigation. If she did not, is there any evidence he committed a crime? If so, that should be taken to the local law enforcement agency.
Criminals cannot be arrested and adjudicated without victims and witnesses contacting law enforcement and being willing to participate in the investigation and prosecution.
While tragic, if this is a case of:
- a woman who did not approach the police,
- there are no witnesses, and
- the only evidence that the ex-boyfriend sexually abused the woman at some point in the past were statements by the victim made to friends,
then I would expect that there is a lack of probable cause to arrest the ex-boyfriend for anything related to that abuse.

It's not frowned upon; it is illegal. Anyone that has a "he's guility of something" attitude has no business being in law enforcement.

How long did it take you before you could quit your day-job?
I strongly suggest contacting a criminal defense attorney.

No. If you believe the officer handles the incident in an improper manner, you can request to speak to his/her supervisor.

I imagine the FBI has only a slight impact on the US economy. It sounds like you have an interesting topic for research though.
