What does this mean? I'm a key witness in a case where a minor is the victim. So trying to understand what's going on.

The police gather all of the evidence and send it to a CPS lawyer to review. They make the decision on whether to charge with any offences, and what those offence/s should be.

Google CPS charging guidelines if you want to see what they have to take into account.

Thanks for putting it in plain English I've been looking online and been getting baffeld by it all. Been a stressful 20 weeks.
