Greater Manchester Police say they are arresting and charging more people with rape and sexual assault after previously coming under fire for 'failing' victims.
The force had been criticised by campaigners who said survivors of rape were being denied justice after figures revealed by the M.E.N showed just 2.4 per cent of completed cases resulted in a charge or summons after police finished considering the evidence.
Just one in 42 adult rapes investigated by GMP in the twelve months to March 2022 resulted in charge or summons, according to Home Office data.
