Met police to review all live rape cases as second trial collapses

An MP who was cleared of rape has called for a nationwide review of the police disclosure of evidence in sexual abuse investigations. Nigel Evans said evidence was being cherry-picked in “too many cases” after Britain’s biggest police force ordered a review of all current rape and sexual abuse cases yesterday. The Tory MP, who was cleared in 2014 of raping a student, called for the review to be expanded after a second rape case collapsed within a week.
