Specialist rape courts to open across England and Wales

Specialist rape courts to open across England and Wales

The prime minister stated that, within two years, a minimum of one courtroom in each crown court will be dedicated to cases involving rape and sexual offences. Victims will get private entrances and waiting rooms, with trials given fixed dates from next month to prevent delays. The new measures, costing about £23 million, also include trauma-informed training for court staff.
