Good post Parkerman well worth listening to the broadcast. Disturbing to hear that it is estimated 95,000 rapes occur each year with only 1,000 reported, out of which a ratio of only 1:100 convictions. So it can take up to 24 months for a case to go for trial, C.P.S. cut backs have forced the closure of specialist prosecution services.( Yet there always seems to be finance available to waste on ridiculous projects !) Also relating the current law to the EE storyline it seems the culprit must prove that he/she took steps to ensure the consent of the other party and that the other party had the ability and freedom to give consent, relative to location. Applying this to Dean , I cannot see why this case in reality could not go for trial.Originally Posted by parkerman
