The fact that she was pregnant had no bearing on the case being dropped, it only got dropped because the alleged victim didn't appear at court. I wish her well in the lawsuit.
That's good info; this article was pretty ambiguous about the actual case itself and made it sound like her pregnancy was the deciding factor.
It's absolutely ridiculous that the pregnancy didn't just invalidate the entire thing, though...
