How far we have to go...

Before I write anything else tonight (and believe me have some stuff to say - screams of joy are much better than silences of despair), I want to talk about Jacqueline Howat. She said that a police recruit (who has name suppression) raped her. He has just been found not guilty, after the judge told the jury to consider the credibility of the witnesses.

The subtext of the defence was, she did too much drugs, she had too much sex, she couldn't tell you who attacked and raped her.

The man is applying to re-enter police college - I'm not feeling any safer.
