Victims of crimes, including people alleging rape, are being asked togiving police access to details including emails, messages and photographs. The move, which applies in England and Wales, means some prosecutions may not go ahead unless such access is granted. The director of public prosecutions say this is needed to help victims and that information used in court will be subject to strict rules.
Digital consent forms can be used for complainants in any criminal investigations but are most likely to be used in rape and sexual assault cases, where complainants often know the suspect.

But this isn't enough to give them a majority in parliament, meaning they will need help from the left-wing Podemos party, or the centre-right, to form a government.
