Jade McCrossen-Nethercott successfully sued the Crown Prosecution Service for refusing to prosecute the man she says raped her.

Days before the trial, prosecutors told her they were dropping her case.

She disagreed and invoked her victims’ right to review (VRR) to challenge the decision.

The CPS ’s appeal and review unit agreed that the defendant ought to have been prosecuted.
