Stacey Dooley admits she wouldn't go to the police if she was raped: 'It's so bleak and such a disappointing realisation'


The TV presenter, 38, is fronting the new BBC documentary Rape On Trial, which covers the delays to court cases and waiting times for victims of alleged rape and sexual assault.

Discussing the series, Stacey said she doesn't think she would feel 'confident' going to the police if she was raped after seeing first-hand some victims' experiences with the legal process. The media personality said the bravery it takes to report rape and sexual assault 'is unbelievable' as 'it's one of the few crimes where your credibility is immediately brought into question'. 'However, policing cannot do this alone, so we are working closely with the Crown Prosecution Service and across the criminal justice system to ensure that every agency plays their part in tackling this horrific crime.'
