A Leicester man has been jailed for nearly 15 years for rape and controlling or coercive behaviour, after prosecutors challenged his claim he had committed the offences in his sleep.

Former police officer Kuldip Singh, 42, who fled the UK before being extradited has admitted his part in a 'crash for cash' insurance scam.

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) and Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) have today (8 December 2020) published a report on Pre-charge Bail and Release under Investigation. The report’s recommendations relate mainly to the police but there are also issues here for the CPS. Decisions as to bail are always for the police to make, but one third of the cases coming before the criminal courts involve a CPS charging decision and those cases are an opportunity for the CPS to provide advice and assistance as to bail pre-charge.
