Closed Review the criminal justice system for sexual abuse allegations

Closed on

I want the criminal justice system to be reviewed so that victims of sexual abuse get justice. Often, when a person alleges sexual abuse, the accused only gets a caution. A caution or a verbal warning is no justice to the life of memories, nightmares we have to live at their hands.

Too many people are let down by this system.

I was sexually abused and my attacker only got a caution!

I now have to live with nightmares about being trapped in his house, flinch when my partner or children touch me, live with the memories of what happened while he gets on with his life as if nothing happened.

We shouldn’t have to live a life of punishment while the person that violated us gets to move on and likely to do it again because their is no punishment.
