BBC News – Rape complaint woman reaches settlement with police
BBC News – Rape complaint woman reaches settlement with police.
A manic depressive with bi-polar is raped during a psychotic episode. She’s then sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Two months later she reports the rape to the police… who do nothing. Literally, nothing.
Her rapist took her to a cash point and made her withdraw £200, which was caught on film. She alleges a police officer told her the cameras were dummy cameras. When she finds out much later from a cashier at the bank that they’re not, she takes the police to court. They pay £3,500 and get some bad press.
Since when is £3,500 the price to make a rape go away?
