A piece in yesterday’s Guardian. An extract:
“The Labour peer, [J4MB: Alison Levitt] who was Keir Starmer’s principal legal adviser when he was the director of public prosecutions, said that she had been repeatedly accused of sexism since she became a minister last autumn, including as a result of the proposed repeal of the legal presumption that both parents should be involved in their children’s lives in the Courts and Tribunal bill, which passed its second reading earlier this month.
Levitt said: “It is historically so obvious that women have been victims [in the justice system], [J4MB emphasis] that there is a justification for putting in measures to bring them up, to make it fairer for them,” said Levitt. Change had to come “throughout the justice system, including in the family justice system, to make sure that [victims] [J4MB – alleged victims] are not, for example, being retraumatised by going through the family courts”, she said.”
Alison Levitt will need no introduction to long-term followers of this blog, as the authoress of a BS report (endorsed by Keir Starmer) claiming that false rape allegations were rare, whilst reporting that prosecutions relating to false rape allegations were rare. In 2014 we posted the blog piece Why does the CPS prosecute only 29% of the women who the police believe have made false rape allegations?
