Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Yes, that frequently happens.

I'm not an expert on child behavior, nor on bullying. There is likely a lot of research on the topic that you can find via Google. I'd treat it all with a serious grain of salt though. A lot (most?) research is funded by groups with specific goals in mind.
I can tell you from my exeprience, which is not scientific at all and should not be taken as such, that behavior is largely learned. Kids imitate what they see, so both bullies AND victims are largely learned behavior. Unfortunately, many parents, schools and even society is teaching people that being a victim is morally superior than standing up for one's self. Sad really.

If the woman made a report with the local law enforcement agency, you should contact them for the status of the criminal investigation. If she did not, is there any evidence he committed a crime? If so, that should be taken to the local law enforcement agency.
Criminals cannot be arrested and adjudicated without victims and witnesses contacting law enforcement and being willing to participate in the investigation and prosecution.
While tragic, if this is a case of:
- a woman who did not approach the police,
- there are no witnesses, and
- the only evidence that the ex-boyfriend sexually abused the woman at some point in the past were statements by the victim made to friends,
then I would expect that there is a lack of probable cause to arrest the ex-boyfriend for anything related to that abuse.

It depends on the laws of your state. If I understand your question, it is legal for one officer to issue a citation based on another officer's observations (in at least some states - if not all states.)
