Alleged rape, some 50 years ago?

Best of luck with making that stick!

[DJHawkes]

the woman must be in her 60s now, what do you think could be her motivation for doing this now?

[anneasquith]

her motivation............peace of mind that now she is not ashamed . and someone may take her seriously. sexually active at 14/15 in the 60's. what a sheltered life I led .

[chrissa1]

You and me both anne.

[MadMo]

Wonder if they have DNA evidence.

[chrissa1]

If it happened 47 years ago it's highly unlikely Madmo. Her word against his. A waste of time and money.

"Nazir Afzal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West, said: "Having completed our review, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Roache to be charged with two offences of rape relating to a girl, aged 15, in 1967."

It seems 2 claims of rape are related to the same girl/woman.
What I'd like to know is how there can be "sufficient evidence" after all these years.
