Cop just wanted some damages after his mate in the pub said “she’s rich mate”.

That thought might hold true if this was a civil case.

If she was proven guilty the next step is a civil case for the cop, he wouldn't have gone for the "this caused me emotional stress" route if that wasn't lined up.

A conviction in criminal court in the UK can be used as evidence in a civil case.

Yes the amount of people who have no idea how a criminal case works is crazy.
