In serious investigations involving Criminal activity, material witnesses will always be questioned by competent Detectives. The following would hold true in all the Jurisdictions in the USA that I'm familiar with, however, I'm aware it is a UK based crime: quote:
ORIGINAL: LadyPact ... Since it does state, very clearly, that one of the persons was a brother in law, I have no doubt that the wife would be questioned, since she might have information regarding her husband's whereabouts and such. This doesn't translate into her being involved in any crime. Just that she might have material information that could be useful to the authorities... If the pregnant woman was on the property during the raid, seen there while it was under surveillance, or a close relative of a Defendant, Detectives will generally seek to question her to gather evidence, refute or confirm an alibi, and bolster their case. If she was a serious suspect, Law Enforcement would have no problem requiring her to deliver her baby while in custody (at least in the USA). This case sounds like it involves "Human Trafficking" and is, so far, completely unrelated to consensual BD/SM. They may be letting her think about whether she would like to raise her baby and testify against her family or prefer to be Prosecuted. She was arrested and may well face charges but I doubt they'll be as serious as the charges the men face. The men were remanded into custody and she has been released pending further questioning. Time will tell.
