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.
It sounds like you should talk to a local police officer or deputy sheriff. If you do not want to talk to someone in law enforcement, call 211 for a referral to non-law enforcement assistance. If you are feeling suicidal, please call 1-800-273-8255.
I have no experience with Austrailian law.
It very well may affect your future employment. All actions have consequences, and the decisions we make - good and bad - will follow us throughout life.
Generally, false allegations are recorded in a report.
Possibly. You should probably inquire with your local law enforcement agency.

Yes.
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.
Sounds like you are well on your way. Good luck and thanks for your service!
