Another Crown Court somewhere in England & Wales; another rape trial. One that isn't, technically, a rape trial. And one that the mainstream tends to avoid on the basis that cases like this are "different".

Why? Because this is a male rape case. And it involves a complainant who, while an adult when the case is reported, investigated, and tried, was a child at the material time.

The research behind Rape on Trial also features in our book: Doak et al, Cross-examination on Trial: Advocacy and Vulnerability in Criminal Trials (BUP 2025).
