That's sad.

Jesus, I thought you were night-shift.
Well, in work we deal with sending down rapists- we collect and organise the forensic evidence and blah blah blah, I reckon that for every 10 requests we get to go to court, six are for rapes, three are for drink-drives and the others vary.

I'm basically glued to the computer during the week, thanks.
My cousin was raped and they never convicted the guy because she had been drinking.

/breaks NDA.
We had one the other day, where samples were reuqested from the victims friend, as she'd had sex with the rapist directly AFTER the rape- so, she'd contain both the suspect and victims DNA if he'd raped her. He did.

Yup. We should be dealing with the court-case soon too, he'll probably be sent down.
Thing is though, cases can take over 8 months to build before they get passed to the CPS.

I didn't realize it took that long.
