Mock me if you wish Jippy but I studied this area of law at university and, as I’ve said above, I spent some time looking into it again at the time of the Evans case. I don’t in any way say I have all the answers here (it’s a very difficult area that the courts have limited guidance on) but I’d be fairly confident that I’m at least as knowledgeable as anyone else on this thread.Thank god we have legal experts in sexual assault cases to guide us on the Caf.
This wilfully overlooks how poorly the justice system has served victims of rape though. Only 1.6% of recorded rapes result in a charge, which is among the lowest in the western world.
Several judges did deem him a rapist.
I agree with you that there should be an overall overhaul of the rape laws. The process generally does not find justice for women. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t question potentially bad decisions the other way.
