While government feminists and religious fundamentalists equate prostitution with rape and claim most sex workers have been trafficked, [alleged, surely] rapists continue to get away with it, the conviction rate for reported rape in England and Wales is a shocking 6%

Important to note that of the cases that reach court the conviction rate is about 50%. The majority of allegations do not reach court – the attrition rate is very high.

I’m almost, but not quite, tempted to go to the MacTaggart one. To heckle, of course. She really does not know what she’s talking about on trafficking. She seems to think that any foreigner offering sexual services has been trafficked. That 80% of Toms are forced into it. That there are thousands upon thousands of sexual slaves in the country.

It’s simply bollocks, sorry, but it is. Unfotunately, these are the people that make laws for us.

And teachers have immunity, which takes out a major player in the sex crime stakes.
