The office of the Hennepin County Attorney announced that an investigation of the allegations against Liu found the case had "profound evidentiary problems." Freeman said the case was typical of many other sexual assault investigations in that Liu maintained the sex was consensual. Among the evidence investigators reviewed was body camera video from police officers who initially talked with Liu and the alleged victim, according to the prosecutor's office. The cameras captured portions of conversations in Mandarin between Liu and the woman, the prosecutor said. "As is the case in many sexual assault incidents, it was a complicated situation," Freeman said.
