Undercover Copper
Dispatches: Undercover Copper, examines how rape victims are treated at every stage of the criminal justice process. From the initial reporting of a rape to the police, through to the conclusion of the court process, she discovers a postcode lottery of initial forensic and medical care for rape victims and no national standard for the number of specialist trained police officers dealing with sexual violence.
With many victims too scared to embark upon the court process, Nina also lays bare the myths and misconceptions about rape held by juries that need to be challenged if more rapists are to end up behind bars. The Government acknowledges the conviction rate for rape is unacceptably low, Mike O’Brien, the Solicitor General tells Nina: “…There are a lot of rapists out there who are getting away with it and many of them are repeat rapists and therefore we need to address that.” But despite recent legislation and new initiatives designed to give victims more say, Nina finds a system that is failing to deliver justice for rape victims.

Quite a lot of truth in this at times. But if this is all she could get in four months of recording the bias of this film speaks for itself. The station the ninja reporter was posted to seemed way behind the times in any case. I retired in 2003 and at that time political correctness was the absolute with regards to dealing with female colleagues.
A lot is made of the prostitute rape situations. This is what really happens: An agreement is made between a prostitute and her “client.” After the job sometimes men refuse to pay and the prostitute claims rape. The police deal with it as a rape but perhaps as many as 9 times out of 10 cases end up being discovered as stated above. I`m not saying prostitutes don’t sometimes get genuinely raped, infact they are extremely vulnerable to such.
I got a sense that this reporter was bitter and twisted and perhaps she felt she was wronged at some time in the past. Five year career break? I wonder what the truth behind that statement was.
I can testify that Yavanna is largely telling the truth when it comes to situations of rape. The majority of the so called rapes are the result of bitter disputes over other things besides sex where a woman decides to get a man in trouble for what was consentual sex.
There is often cases where prostitutes claimed to be raped after men refuse to pay for the sex, and no evidence of rape or forced sex can be found
There are also cases where girls and guys go to a house party get drunk, high, and stoned, then have seemingly consetual sex, one thing leads to another and the man brags about it, the women feels ashamed because everyone is talking about her so claims rape.
Phil Atio, it’s appalling how ignorant you are.
Do you think reporting a rape is enjoyable? What exactly do you believe a woman has to gain from it? It doesn’t bring back a girl’s reputation or a prostitute’s money.
Sadly, I believe it is far more common for rape to go unreported than for false accusations to be made, largely in part to victim blaming i***** like you.
It’s not exactly fair to say it isn’t rape in the situation of a prostitute not being paid. The money was the only reason she ever “consented” in the first place – to not pay her is taking even greater advantage of a vulnerable woman. I’m not sure if it falls inside the legal definition of rape, but to lie to a desperate woman to get away with ******* her for free when you essentially entered into a verbal contract is, at the very least, a pretty sick level of coercion and force. She didn’t freely consent to sex, she consented to perform sexual acts for money.
