A mum has demanded prosecutors overturn a decision which allowed her teenage daughter’s alleged rapist to avoid prosecution under controversial government guidelines.
The Sunday Mail last week revealed the Crown Office enacted “diversion from prosecution” rules that then allowed the 17-year-old to avoid a criminal trial and a possible conviction.
Under the Scottish Government-backed guidelines, the youth won’t appear in court to answer the charges and can continue with his plans to travel to the US for a football scholarship.
