Man appeals against vascetomy lie rape conviction

You think you are asking a clever question

No, I am genuinely curious. I'm not being smart.

My partner was repeatedly raped recently over a period of a few months, initially through blackmail as he knew something about her that she couldn't deal with coming out. It ended after he took it further and raped her through force so she went to the police but as she met him "voluntarily" (despite the blackmail) the police would not act.

I'm happy that you say any deliberately misleading statement can lead to these prosecutions but at the same time can't understand why if this is the law we cannot prosecute more crimes.

I'm now keen to know exactly what the law is around consent as it doesn't seem to be policed in the way people describe and felt this was an interesting thread.
