A recent news report I Scotland suggested that only one percent of reported rapes are prosecuted. In Scotland obviously.
I have to say I don't even know what this even means. Does it mean the police and procurator fiscal(our general attorney) don't proceed with court cases when they should? Does it mean 99% of reported rapes are false allegations. I'm baffled.
On the subject of whether or not a girl has been raped or not because she agreed but later regretted it. I'd say no it's obviously not rape. A bad decision? Maybe.
I young man in my local area had a bust up with his girlfriend by all accounts only a verbal argument. They layer had angry make up sex. The thought of rape never crossed her mind. But later after a conversation with a friend where the friend suggested it was rape did she then approach the police. He was eventually sentenced to prison.
I am all for punishing rapists bit more needs to be done in regards to false allegations. In that regards all governments and lawmakers really need to do more work in the classifications of rape.
