Teenager Tia Jade Edwards, was badly beaten at a party in Abergele, north Wales, but the Crown Prosecution Service said there was "insufficient evidence"
A 16-year-old girl who was left covered in blood after being viciously beaten at a party has been told no-one will face charges over the attack.
Tia Jade Edwards posted pictures of her shocking injuries on Facebook after being assaulted at a party in Abergele, north Wales - sparking an online campaign for justice.
But despite questioning three people over the attack, North Wales Police has confirmed no further action will be taken.
A file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service who said there was "insufficient evidence" for a conviction.
Her guardian Alison Faulds told the North Wales Daily Post she will appeal the decision.
She said: “I am fuming. She is a 16 year-old girl and it’s not like she did it to herself.
“Tia is fuming as well because justice has failed, if someone gets away with this they can do it again.
“The evidence is all over Facebook, yet they told me they couldn’t use any of the evidence on Facebook.
“I was told late on Thursday that the case was being dropped and I have already emailed the CPS to appeal the decision and I have been told I only have seven days.
“The CPS has not been back in touch with me yet but there is no way I am dropping this case.”
Two women, both aged 37, and a youth were questioned by North Wales Police in relation to the incident and were released on police bail.
Shocking pictures of Jade’s injuries sparked a furious reaction from hundreds of readers calling for justice for Tia.
A spokesman for North Wales Police would only confirm there would be “no further action” in the case and refused to make any further comment.
It also transpired only a file relating to a youth suspect was sent to the CPS.
A spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service said: “The Crown Prosecution Service was asked by North Wales Police to consider a file of evidence against a youth defendant, relating to a report of an alleged assault, on 20th August.
“Having considered the available evidence in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors, we concluded that there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction in this case.
“All parties involved have been informed of this decision.”
The Victims’ Right to Review (VRR) scheme gives victims the right to request a review of a CPS decision not to prosecute or to terminate criminal proceedings.
Any victim in a case where a qualifying decision has been made, is entitled to seek a review of that decision under the scheme.
