sexual assault

The ONS reported that, over the last 10 years, there has been an increase in sexual assault.

“Allowing Ms. Esemonu’s criminal indictment to prolong this case — and let her false accusations of sexual assault hang over Mr. Bauer — will harm Mr. Bauer’s reputation and ability to obtain employment.”

A court of appeals overturned Weinstein's previous conviction for sex crimes in New York last April, before he was indicted on new sexual assault charges in the state in September.

Lewis Jones, then 23, subjected his young victim to a violent and prolonged sexual assault in woodland in Manchester on 17 August 2022 before he was disturbed by the shouts of her family and neighbours.

He had mounted a legal challenge after having his vetting - a background check - removed following sexual assault allegations, which he denied and was not charged over.
