No Prosecution Necessary: UK Police Force Issues over 100 Cautions for Rape, Sexual Assault Against Children
No Prosecution Necessary: UK Police Force Issues over 100 Cautions for Rape, Sexual Assault Against Children - Breitbart
AND
"HAMPSHIRE police handed out more than 100 cautions for rape and other serious sexual offences in the past five years, the Hampshire Chronicle can reveal.
The crimes included incest and sex with children under the age of 13.
Figures obtained via a Freedom of Information request reveal that since 2014 police have cautioned four people for rape and another six for serious sexual assaults including five counts of sexual assault involving victims under the age of 16.
Similar requests for information made in 2013 also reveal that from 2011-2012 Hampshire constabulary handed out 18 cautions for sexual assaults against women.
One Hampshire MP was so surprised and concerned by the statistics she has pledged to raise the issue with the county’s chief constable Olivia Pinkney.
A spokeswoman for Rape Crisis England and Wales, a charity which offers specialist services for women and girls who have been assaulted, said: “The use of cautions for sexual offences has been a cause for concern for some time.
“In the vast majority of cases where the offender is an adult, they seem wholly inappropriate, largely because they don’t in any way reflect the seriousness of the crime or the long-lasting and often devastating impacts that sexual violence has on lives.”"
