Despite Nelly's Rape Accuser Dropping Case, Cops Are Firing On

Nelly's rape accuser refusing to testify doesn't change a thing for cops who are powering through with the investigation.

Law enforcement sources in Washington State say cops in Auburn are undeterred by the accuser's noncooperation with the investigation and they are still gathering evidence and plans to present the case to the prosecutor's office.

The alleged victim had said she couldn't take the pressure of taking on a celebrity, and felt betrayed by police -- so she would not testify against Nelly. While her noncooperation makes the case more challenging, it's not impossible to prosecute.

Cops are planning to present the case to prosecutors soon, within the next week.
