My brother has been arrested & being charged with rape pc261(a)(2) rape by force & or fear. I want to know what kind of & how much evidence or probable cause does law enforcement need to arrest charge & hold someone for that crime. Can they simply just arrest u bcuz someone says this guy raped me a few days ago he threatened me I was scared is y I didn't report it..? Also he was arrested on 11/28/15 and is still in custody & going to court today 12/4/15 do u think that they may have reliable evidence or probable cause against him due to the fact that he's still locked up? Or is this maybe a precaution while they investagate..? Thanks for ur time.
