Want to File Malicious Prosecution Action Against Police Dept and County Prosecutor

My question involves civil rights in the State of:Washington

I was charged with DV4 even though I was sexually and physically assaulted - I was arrested. Officer knew my abuser. Officer took statement from my abuser that he had assaulted me. I asserted that my abuser had sexually and physically assaulted me. The officer did not ask me a single question before 1) not allowing me to leave, and 2) announcing he had probable cause to arrest.

Per RCW 10.31.100 (2)(c) police officer did not establish probable cause before placing me under arrest. Once he announced he had probable cause I immediately asked for an attorney. Police officer claimed in his report that I refused to answer any of his questions. Fact: He did not ask me any questions before announcing he had probable cause.

The prosecutor dismissed the charges stating "Interest of Law". I believe I have all the elements in place to win a Malicious Prosecution claim except damages. I am having trouble finding domestic violence/sexual assault case law results with damages. Can you help me? Also, if anyone knows of a civil rights attorney who would be willing to help me I would be VERY appreciative.
