"Detectives will thoroughly investigate the case to determine what criminal charges, if any, will be filed and victim services will be offered," the police said in Friday's statement, continuing, "As there are many emotional factors involved, it is not uncommon for a victim of domestic violence to question or delay reporting an assault.
