The challenges of prosecuting rape from the perspective of a former
prosecutor and senior policy advisor
About this Event
Charlotte Triggs OBE has over 30 years experience in criminal justice.
As a prosecutor she specialised in prosecuting rape and sexual
offences as well as being responsible for cases ranging from motoring
offences to murder. Later, as a senior policy advisor, she worked closely
across government departments and with the police to draft national
policy and guidance on the investigation and prosecution of rape that
challenged myths and stereotypes and improved support for
vulnerable victims. Until recently she was a trustee of CRASAC, a rape
and sexual abuse centre in Coventry. She undertakes independent
investigations into sexual harassment and is an Independent Panel
