Insanity. Why does Britain have such weak laws against rape?
Blackpool doctor not struck off by panel over 'one-off' rape - BBC News. Government figures show that each year, in England and Wales, 40-60 people convicted of rape have previous rape convictions. Repeat offending is an issue but obviously not here. https://t.co/jjPrfJl5UJ
