Experts say rape victims have been ‘failed‘ by a system that has seen national detection rates plummet to a new low.
One in 42 adult rapes investigated by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) last year led to a criminal charge or summons, according to Home Office figures.
Some 57 - or 2.4 per cent of completed cases - resulted in a charge or summons after police finished considering the evidence, according to the Home Office data.
