## Summary

A journalist says Devon and Cornwall Police investigated her for harassment over four X posts, including routine reports about a former police officer and a beach selfie with her daughter. She says she spent 13 months believing she could face prosecution, with the prolonged uncertainty affecting her finances, work and family life.

She attended an interview under caution in September 2025 and says her solicitor repeatedly sought updates every 28 days without receiving a response. The article says she saved for possible legal costs and went without heating during the winter; she only discovered the investigation’s outcome by accident, 13 months later.
