Thousands of rape victims let down by bungling police forces who 'botched one in 10 cases'
Matt CoyleTHOUSANDS of potential rape victims have been let down by cops after it emerged one in 10 cases were botched.
It was found that potential victims with mental health and addiction issues and victims of trafficking were particularly vulnerable to being struck from the record by some police forces. “We know rape is a serial offence so it should be a very considered decision not to pursue something that looks like a rape as a crime of rape."
The police later made direct contact with the victim, recorded the crime and it was under investigation in 2018. “Extensive safeguarding measures have been put in place by the police and other organisations to support the victim."
