Rape

SUPPORTING YOU

We realise that victims of rape have difficult decision to make that will affect their lives and the lives of those close to them.

Victims who are or have been in a relationship with their attacker may blame themselves or feel that agencies will blame them.

We are committed to improving the way that allegations of rape are handled and we have established specialist prosecutors who work closely with the police to ensure that all possible avenues of evidence are explored.

We consider every sexual offence cases carefully and sensitively.

Our decisions will be objective but made within a context that promotes support for victims by keeping them informed.
