Bulletguy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm not sure if this subject has been poorly put across by the CPS or what but it seems to have kicked up a right storm. In cases of rape and/or serious sexual assault, those making the allegations who refuse to give police access to their mobile phone contents could allow suspects to avoid charges, two top officials have said. Many women say police and CPS are using 'scare tactics to be intrusive' and it's 'an erosion of privacy'. :-S Surely if the allegation is 100% genuine, voicemail, texts or calls would prove paramount to the case and you'd have no issues at all? Am i missing something here as i don't quite get why anyone would object to their phone being accessed? After all it does work both ways and it was record of phone texts which provided irrefutable evidence in the case of university student Liam Allan who came within a hairs breadth of being sent down for 10 years on a rape charge last year, registered on the SoR, and his life finished. He ended up with an apology and his accuser given anonymity. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/rape-victims-will-be-put-off-going-to-police-over-mobile-phone-plans-a4129156.html https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/apr/29/new-police-disclosure-consent-forms-could-free-rape-suspects https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-42873618 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
