Failed by police – the woman whose rape complaint was lost in pile of paperwork – The Guardian
“A police force has admitted failing a woman whose allegation of rape was not investigated because her case notes were left under piles of paperwork on a detective’s desk, the Guardian has learned. In the first known case of its kind in the UK, the woman launched legal proceedings against Cambridgeshire police, claiming its lack of action had breached her human rights, after she discovered the rape had not been recorded as a crime.”
