Police drop historic rape cases because of lack of money to investigate the victims allegation’s

The police appear to have now stopped investigating historic sex cases after 5 years with very little to show for the £Billions of UK tax payers money wasted in destroying many innocent men’s lives falsely accused of rape.

All that was every proven was that no evidence trials can never be won as the jury will never convict without solid evidence to prove the accused was guilty of the alleged rape.

No evidence trials are no more that Kangaroo courts where the accused is automatically assumed to be guilty.

The worst effected were mainly married men with about 2,000 per year being acquitted of raping their ex-wife’s.

I know that in my case that my ex-wife deliberately plotted with her best friend to have me arrested for historic rape purely for her own financial gain, but I was found not guilty on all 5 counts of historic rape.

However, the police will not prosecute my-ex-wife for perjury as it may deter other women to come forward and accuse their husband's of historic rape.

A fraudsters paradise if I have ever seen one.

Tell that to the guys sitting in prison wrongly convicted of sexual abuse going back 40 plus years, on the evidence of the word of the complainant alone......

Juries OFTEN convict without solid evidence as has been proven time and time again in this group.

Would really love to believe this were true but sadly I doubt it.

Reality is that genuine cases often come down to 1 persons word against another.

Seems best those false accused can do is throw doubt on accusation. How can some prove they didn't do something when that something never happened.

To say that....

..... is utter stupidity. We have members on here and in other groups who have loved ones in prison after being convicted on only the word of the complainant, on allegations going back decades.

'Scuse me??? They don't convict without solid evidence?? Isn't that why some of us are on here?

Had the fiscal not dropped the case against me in order to enhance the case against OH I would have been found guilty , on no evidence, too.
I feel a bit angry about that rather naive statement.

[Rights Fighter]

it#'s not the first time he's made that sort of statement on here. I came in to answer it this time, as some newbies might read it and believe it.

I appreciate that he is trying to help, but this really is not helpful at all.

The comments I made above are mainly related to Current Partner rape, which is statistically the largest group of reported rape. Accounting for 9000 or 45% of the 20000 reported rapes in 2015. I believe many of these married women used rape allegations as the first part of their divorce process. This was a rape allegation bonanza for the Police, CPS and Courts, but almost all trials ended in an aquittal. The 2 cases in 2015 that I found of a current husband being found guilty of rape of their ex-wife had solid CCTV evidence for the jury to convict. Without solid evidence the Police, CPS and Judge were basically pissing in the wind in the case of martial rape. As the jury expects that the women consents to sex while still married to her husband. No evidence trials in the case of material rape are impossible to prove and a complete waste of UK Tax Payers money. However, I acknowledge that in the cases of no evidence non-martial rape cases the chance of the jury giving a guilty verdict can greatly increase. Especially, if the victim starts crying on the witness stand, which can greatly influence the jury's verdict. Even though there is no supporting CCTV, medical or witness evidence and it is just one persons word verse another's.

It is laudable that you have searched the internet to back up your claims. However, not all cases reach the media and I dare say that it's only a fraction of the day to day court hearings that do.

Because you have not actually found cases where husbands have been convicted after being accused, does not mean that they do not exist.

I have researched many rapes cases, which have ended in a successful conviction and all have been reported in either the Local or National press. It is part of the Police/CPS PR process to announce all rape convictions in the press. This also includes martial rapes cases. Currently the Police /CPS automatically put a media blackout on all martial rape cases. As many allegations are so unbelievable that the public will believe the Police/CPS have no common-sense. In 2012 there was a martial rape case published in the Daily Mail reporting a women claiming she was raped on her wedding night. As she was so drunk she could not say no to having sex with her husband. The jury found the husband not guilty in just 30 minutes. Since then the Police/CPS do not publish any details of a on-going martial rape cases. As it gives them bad PR if the accused was found not guilty. Only when a guilty verdict is given do the Police/CPS lift the new blackout to the media, usually with a pre-prepared statement to the press. This is why there were only 2 martial rapes cases published in the press in 2015.

When you wrote "martial" I thought you were referring to rape within the forces (such as army).

Not all alleged marital rapes are reported - regardless. If they were the papers online and on paper would be full of matrimonial court stories. As I said before I applaud your tenacity at researching.

Being on the end of working on appeals against conviction though, I can tell you that there are far more convictions than you believe, in marital cases.

I won't be arguing any more on this matter however as I have more important things to do. You insult those whose husbands have been put away on words of the complainant, alone and do a great injustice to them by harping on about it.

I have seen with my own eyes far more convictions in marital rape cases than you believe occur - so I will leave it there. I appreciate that you are trying to help, but all you are doing is insulting wives left behind.
