RAPE OFF THE RECORD: THE PRICE OF OPEN JUSTICE

Media Storm’s first series featured an investigation into ‘Rape justice: ‘What happens to the 98%, when we discovered the fates of the many reported rapes that never make it to trial.

Today, we speak to “the lucky ones,” the 2% of victims who get the chance to go to court. Or do they? They are told to leave the courtroom and miss the bulk of their trial… and then they must pay tens of thousands of pounds to find out what happened inside.

Are government contractors getting rich off victims’ suffering? Or is someone trying to hide something?

This is an investigation into the transparency of the UK’s judiciary, and the treatment of women and victims during rape and sexual assault trials.

Media Storm is hosted by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia). The music is by Samfire (@soundofsamfire).
