This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about what offences to charge someone for are a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
