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.
Generally, false allegations are recorded in a report.

I strongly suggest contacting a criminal defense attorney.

I'm not sure what you mean by "using her sister's officer position as a shield." Regardless, it would appear you need to find another girlfriend.
Share Answer: 
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.

95% (or better) of the stuff you have learned about law enforcement in the movies or on TV is garbage. Movies are written, directed and acted by people who have no experience or first hand knowledge of law enforcement or crime.
Regardless of the type of crime - shoplifting to running a criminal enterprise - law enforcement officers can only arrest someone if probable cause exists. If this burden of proof does not exist, no lawful arrest can be made.

Sounds like you need to talk to an attorney. You probably wouldn't like my advice.

I don't know. How can someone get picked up for public intoxication...oh nevermind.
