Date:	08.05.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	W.________ was charged by the Lausanne District Prosecutor's Office with sexual assault, sexual acts with a child and attempted rape. The prosecutor's office stopped the proceedings, considering that the evidence was insufficient. W.________ appealed against the termination of the proceedings. The Chambre des recours pénale suspended the proceedings and referred the matter back to the public prosecutor's office. The public prosecutor's office must now initiate a new criminal case against W.________. More detailed summary: The Chambre des recours pénale has overturned the verdict of the Lausanne District Prosecutor's Office, which had closed the case against W.________ for sexual assault, sexual acts with a child and attempted rape. The Board considers that the evidence is sufficient to initiate criminal proceedings against W.________. The public prosecutor's office must now initiate a new criminal case against W.________. As part of this procedure, she must present the evidence that she used for the prosecution of W.________. W.________ then has the opportunity to comment on the allegations and prove his innocence. The decision of the Chambre des recours pénale is an important step in the case. It means that W.________ can now be brought to court to defend himself against the allegations.
