[Larry Thompson's] sister-in-law called 911 [in 2014] and accused Mr. Thompson of sexually abusing [his newborn daughter], citing what turned out to be diaper rash. He was in jail for two days, one officer filed a criminal complaint charging Mr. Thompson with resisting arrest. Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges.

Mr. Thompson sued the officers under an 1871 federal civil rights law that allows citizens to sue state officials over violations of constitutional rights. Lower courts dismissed his claim, saying that a precedent required him to show “that the underlying criminal proceeding ended in a manner that affirmatively indicates his innocence.”

The vote was 6 to 3, with the majority deciding only the narrow question of what Thompson had to show to meet a requirement that there was a favorable termination of the prosecution against him. Justice Kavanaugh noted [the ruling] left police officers with other ways to defeat “unwarranted civil suits,” notably including qualified immunity.
