Non Molestation Orders On Rapists who are not in a relationship with the Victim
I believe all victims of Rape and Sexual assault should be granted a Non Molestation order on the person who perpetrated them. Whether they are in a relationship, Not in a relationship, Dating , Related, A stranger or a Stalker. To be granted the order regardless of evidence to go to CPS or not.
Only 1 in 65 rape cases lead to court. Victims have been through enough trauma to then be let down by the justice system and then not be allowed to feel safe alone when a Non Molestation order could offer a tiny bit of reassurance for them to carry on with the life ahead of them after such trauma.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions on protections for victims of crimes are a matter for the courts, rather than the UK Government or Parliament. The automatic granting of orders without due legal process could be a breach of the Human Rights Act.
We could accept a petition that called for the current system of non-molestation orders to be extended to cover a wider group of people, but it would still need to be a decision for the courts whether they were imposed in specific cases.
