Apology does not help rape victims whose cases were dropped, commissioner warns

The Government’s apology over its dire rape conviction record will not comfort those people whose cases have been dropped, the Victims’ Commissioner for England and Wales has said.

Meanwhile survivor Kat Araniello, who was told her rape allegation was a “slam-dunk case” by police before it was later dropped by the CPS, says the apology "does not cut it".
