Question regarding the States Attorney office.?

My daughter recently advised that she was sexually assaulted by her step-father. The states attorney is pushing the case off and giving this man a free pass on the grounds that I am currently involved in a custody battle with my daughters mother. And that they won't convict him because I am trying to use this as an advancement in my custody hearing. This is totally untrue, and there is absolutely no evidence to back this up because it's untruthful. The states attorney hasn't requested or reviewed any of the documentation that would lead to his conviction ( ie. Children Family Services notes, Hospital records, Crisis center records) They are simply trying to let him off without a thorough investigation, which if they viewed the videos, read the reports, and listened to my statement, would see that everyone involved believes this actually happend to my daughter. Any idea what my recourse would be in this case. I've called my attorney and haven't heard back. This is the second representative within that office to toss this aside.. Thank you for your reply Laughter_evey_day, I actually spoke with the lead detective and they have already made this assumption and are just now requesting records, but advised him that t wouldn't influce the case much. I saw the list they were asking and it was all geared toward my custody case.. not the issue at hand.

1. There are a couple states in which the local prosecutor is under the direction of the attorney general of the state. Mostly not, however. BTW, your assumption that the DA has not looked at the evidence is probably wrong. The DA would get the records from the cops who would get them from the agencies.
2. If the child welfare agency felt the complaint was "founded" or true, they will follow up on it. Hopefully, that will help you encourage the DA to pursue the case.
