I've mentioned before on here about a rape case I sat through with a family member and this is so true. His barrister and all the witnesses brought up pretty much every sexual encounter she had ever had but previous complaints made about him plus cautions for violence against women were not allowed to be mentioned in court. After the case she always said she would tell anyone to not make a report of rape as its not worth it, she went through hell with the case and the **** she got of his family and friends.
