Three quarters of rape victims report being asked at least one question in court based on rape myths.
These include what they did to stop the assault, about drinking or taking drugs, and what they were wearing.
For every 100 rapes recorded by the police in England and Wales , fewer than two will result in a guilty verdict.
Victim Support wants the CPS to get the court to intervene when cross-examination is inappropriate.
