I can't see that the current pandemic would affect the decisions made by CPS as to whether to charge or not.
If he'd been charged, bailed to court and that date was a long way away then the pandemic argument would make sense.
He was bailed by the court, but probably by remote hearing. He has been charged with 2 counts of assault. One of the is a section 39 apparently and I have never heard of that. common assault is Section 42. It seems Sec39 is from the 88 act whereas the other is from the 1861 act.
The other is Section 47 which is ABH, not a trivial charge, specially if it were on a woman.
