The father of a 15-year-old describes the 'nightmare' near three-year wait for her case to be heard.
fall in rape prosecutions in England and Wales, over four yearsOne of the lowest points was when, just before Christmas, the family realised the alleged attacker had a job in a shop near their house.
The CPS took a statement from the victim with a view to preparing an application to amend the bail conditions. He describes the support provided by all the official bodies involved in the case as a "continuum of disappointment" - with "little or no interest after the man was charged".His daughter is now 15. She will be 16 before the new trial date - three years older than when the alleged attack took place. So how is she dealing with it?But the process has left the family floored. And the rape ordeal, and subsequent delays, have severely affected his daughter's life.
In his BBC interview, he admits he has regrets about taking the case to court. His family were unprepared for the "grief and frustration" they experienced when dealing with the judiciary.He says trying to get through to the CPS, and sometimes the police, was frustrating. They would be told: "Oh, that officer doesn't work here any more, he's on leave, he's training.
"This isn't through a lack of sympathy for the situation that your family is in, but because judges are completely independent, and it is important that nothing is done to undermine this position."
