She made no allegation or complaint.
How did he come to be arrested then?
She made no allegation or complaint.
But she could have prevented the trial by confirming that the sex was consensual (if indeed it was).She made no allegation or complaint.
Why bother with a retrial? Hopefully if found not guilty he will donate any compensation to a rape charity.
What happens to the young woman involved if he is found not guilty? I can imagine him using some big shot solicitor to push for a conviction against her. similar to what happened with woman who ended up taking her own life after the cps took over a private prosecution against her.
How did he come to be arrested then?
Because they are having a retrial and don't want newspaper coverage to prejudice future jurors. Duh!"Details of the grounds of appeal can not be reported for legal reasons."
Still can't be reported
But she could have prevented the trial by saying that the sex was consensual (if indeed it was).
Why that reply? I don't really know about the case, was there a witness to it? I'm asking a qestion no need to be a dick about it.

You know nothing Bahnoff Strasse.
Or you could've just provided a quick summary instead of being a dick about it but nevermind.There are 65 pages on the case right here, on this very thread. Try reading some of them.
The prosecution case was that she was too drunk to consent.Why that reply? I don't really know about the case, was there a witness to it? I'm asking a qestion no need to be a dick about it.
Indeed.If her facebook posts contradict that and that the whole thing was some kind of stitch-up, it would seem odd that she did not go to the police and report the attack.
Thank you, that's the sort of reply I was looking for.The prosecution case was that she was too drunk to consent.
Now, evidence has seemingly surfaced suggesting that that was not the case. She said she didn't remember. Curious stuff.
There's not really any such thing as a legal technicality in law. It's usually used to suggest that correct procedure wasn't followed but that's not the case here.He will be re-tried as the quashing of conviction was done on a legal technicality.
Does there need to be a conviction before somebody can apply for compensation?

The conviction was quashed because the new evidence cast doubt on its safety.
But in possession of some compelling new evidence that he didn't have before.He is back where he was before being convicted; charged with rape and awaiting trial.
what, he's got this evidence? why hasn't it been taken into the custody of the competent authority?But in possession of some compelling new evidence that he didn't have before.
Got a link?... the CPS are stating that they feel there is a strong probability that he will be found guilty at his re-trial.
he's being prosecuted ergo there is a probability, albeit of uncertain quantum, that he will be found guiltyIt's a figure of speech. This quashing is not the law stating that he's innocent, indeed the CPS are stating that they feel there is a strong probability that he will be found guilty at his re-trial.
if he gets a not guilty compo doesn't necessarily follow; you get it if you are 100% pure as the driven innocent, he most certainly isn't and any not guilty will be technical/high standard of proof related.

yeh but it is more a case of they believe there is a strong probability than there is a strong probabilityStrong possibility, or else, by their own rules, the CPS cannot proceed.

No, what I meant was can a victim of a crime claim compensation even where no charges are brought. I'm sure I read that somewhere about certain crimes.
Where's the CPS statement? Can't find anything.Quite.

IIRC she always said she was too drunk to remember whether she consented and she didn't make a complaint.Eh?
How about, because he believes that he was not guilty of rape, feels that there is new evidence to support this, and doesn't want to be known as a rapist for the rest of his life?
If it's shown that she made a false allegation which led to the destruction of his career and imprisonment, then she should be prosecuted.
