I am so upset and angry. Someone close to me was sexually assaulted at the works Christmas party in front of witnesses. The man also assaulted other women and did the same at the previous event. My sister went to the police - the assault is on CCTV and they have a witness and the person has admitted it.
So now the police contacted her to say the man is sorry, embarrassed and does she really want to go to court because it is 'at the very lowest end of sexual assault'. Oh, and looks like he is going back to work too.
So - now we have to feel sorry for the man who is embarrassed and it is ok to be 'groped' at a Christmas works party. What is the point of the police. Feel so so angry I might explode and just so helpless.

Meant to say, I'm very sorry for your sister and the other women. I hope they are able to find some therapy or something that helps. The police and the legal system have failed women.

Is this someone who was employed there, too?

Yeah, the police are useless. They told me after I was raped, that seven years in prison for the man who did it was a long time and did I really want that for him? This was after they pushed me into pursuing it!!
