Thank you to @doubjeopardypod for asking me to share (some of) my views on the impact, application and outcomes of pre-recorded cross examination in trials for sexual offences, and a short discussion of Huw Edwards' sentence.
In the latest episode @KenMacdonaldKC & @timowenkc are joined by @SarahvAtDSC to discuss the sensitive and difficult issue of the way in which trials of rape and other serious sexual offences are conducted as well as looking at the recent sentencing of #HuwEdwards.

Many of us in the criminal justice system will have greeted this with a combination of relief and nervous optimism. Putting prisons in the charge of someone who wants to take an evidence-based approach is a great first step to improving the long-term protection of the public.

I had the great pleasure of sitting down with the fantastic @SarahvAtDSC again, this time to discuss the law relating to sex by deception: when someone induces another to have sex under false pretences or where they lie about or misrepresent something important to consent

This is the first of two episodes we recorded. The first is about criminal law and sexual crime generally, in the second episode we discuss sex by deception and what the law says about deceiving someone about your biological sex where they would not consent to sex if they knew.

How was the decision made to fly it? Who was consulted?

This is not a crime. It does not come close to the elements of any offence, even without considering arguments about freedom of expression. No police officer is entitled to threaten arrest for this flyer.
