WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HERISSIER OF ST SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd JUNE 2010
Question
"How many complaints of rape have been made to the police in the last five calendar years and how many have resulted in convictions?"
Answer
55 cases of rape have been reported in the last five calendar years relating to offences reported as committed during that period. 14 cases have resulted in conviction - nine for rape and five for indecent assault or grave and criminal assault.
Suspects were identified in 52 of the 55 cases reported.
In addition to the 55 cases, approximately 33 other cases were reported in the last five calendar years, which related to earlier periods. The figure of 33 is approximate because of the lack of detail in relation to some of the complaints which made a full investigation impossible. Of the 33 cases, six have resulted in convictions.
