A 55-year-old woman has been cleared of domestic violence against her husband after he withdrew the report and invoked a section of the law allowing him to request that charges be dropped.
The woman, whose name cannot be published by court order, had been charged last month after her husband filed a police report claiming he was physically abused by his wife. The couple also have a daughter.
She was accused of using violence, including moral, psychological violence and coercion against her husband. She was also accused of harassing the man and causing him to fear violence, holding him against his will and threatening him.
