I don't see a reason to hate the officer. It sounds as if she did her exact job: investigated the possible crimes which would have been committed if the complaining witness' account was truthful, observed the available evidence, and determined the complaint to be unfounded or unprovable. If you want to direct your ire somewhere, aim it at legislatures that criminalize sexting and sexual pictures of teenagers with the same contempt as exploitative child porn.
Depends if the role of the police is to enforce the law or serve the public good.
Does it serve the public good to crack down on male sexuality and zealously prosecute normal teenage activity as sex offences? Most laws have almost no impact unless enforced.
