The Hard Shoulder

DPP did not prosecute 67% of accused sexual offenders over 10 year period

New figures released show that only 1/3 of people accused of sexual offences in the last ten years were prosecuted. Often, the reason given for a case not being brought forward is a lack of evidence. Guest host Mandy Johnston is joined by Jessica Woodlock, Newstalk Reporter, Hazel Behan, Sexual Assault Survivor & Activist and Noeline Blackwell, Lawyer & Victims Rights Activist to discuss. If you have been affected by anything in this podcast, you can contact the Rape Crisis Network’s 24 Hour helpline at 1800 778888.
