Three hundred women will be raped today yet only 1% of those cases - just three - will make it to court, Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper warned.
In a passionate speech slamming the Tories for failing to get a grip on rape charges, the MP blasted the Government, saying it had “totally failed to have a proper system in place to recruit the detectives that we need and that is why you've then got victims not getting justice”.
Ms Cooper said: “The really most shocking figure of all is that probably today around 300 women will have been raped. Of those, about 190 cases will be reported. And of those, less than a handful, maybe about three cases will make it to court.
