Prosecution review rape charge after disclosure application.

28/09/2023

Bozzie’s client faced allegations of controlling and coercive behaviour spanning 7 years and rape. He had previously pleaded guilty to charges of harassment and a breach of a non-molestation order. Following her detailed disclosure application, the Crown were persuaded to review the case. 

As a result, they offered no evidence on the charge of rape and accepted a very limited basis to the controlling and coercive behaviour charge covering a considerably reduced period of time.

Bozzie was instructed and assisted by Karamjit Singh of Holborn Law.
