Scots group protests lack of evidence in sex cases

Post by Jim Burton »

Notice how uncomfortable the simple idea of the accused and their families standing up for themselves is for the system.

Also notice who is fabricating harassment claims, and how this reflects on the claimants.

A campaign group who claim men are being wrongly convicted of sex crimes has staged a protest outside the Scottish Parliament.

Justice for Innocent Men Scotland (Jims) says the rules on evidence in sex offence cases are resulting in unfair trials and miscarriages of justice.

About 200 of its members - including families of convicted sex offenders - gathered at Holyrood.

They were faced with a smaller counter-demonstration from a group called Justice for Every Mistreated Survivor (Jems) which says conviction rates for rape and sexual assault remain far lower than for other crimes.
