This is all true. On the opposite side, women have fabricated domestic violence issues in the past given some slight, usually infidelity but there are other reasons.
As I understand it, the mandatory prosecution is usually tied to prior issues with the same couple. In that case it makes a LOT more sense, imo, as abusers are, more often than not, habitual offenders. The mandatory prosecution is as much a protection for police force resources as they are a protection for the women. Police keep going out to the same place time and time again. Female, despite all evidence never presses charges. It's a frustrating (for police) tax on public service and those are often extremely volatile situations. Not to mention, they often escalate in to more serious offenses including homicide.
So, we don't know shit. Was this a woman who opted not to press charges due to various reasons post, did she even claim she was choked, did the police trump up the charge, did the woman falsely claim abuse to get back at the man for a completely different reason?
We don't. What we do know is offenders are usually habitual. It will raise its ugly head again if that's the reality.
Anything else, is just pure conjecture without further supporting evidence.
