crazy part is even if they went to court its more likely they would get a suspended sentence.
– “I concluded that the evidence was not strong enough to establish the issue of consent to the high standard of proof required,” the reviewer wrote.
Name and shame.
The article is very emotive starting out but the crux of it is the DPP reviewed the evidence and security cameras and witness statements and didn’t believe they had a strong case.
Its really weird that they focused in on consent specifically especially if there is CCTV footage and tgmhe only reason I can think of why they believe consent would be an issue is if the CCTV footage didn’t catch the incident itself and if this other woman who was with the attacker provided a contrary statement.
Either way its awful but I wouldn’t blame the DPP id blame the structure / framing of the crime itself, rape is the only crime causing serious physical harm that consent is a complete defense to.
