'Victims of sexual offences have been promised less invasion into their private lives under changes to how evidence is gathered for trials.

Under the new system, ministers say prosecutors and police will have to justify requests to obtain intrusive private information about a victim.'

It's a step in the right direction I suppose

Hmm I'll believe it when it actually happens

Hmm, they were talking about this on radio 4 this morning. They were saying that victims would be encouraged to seek therapy sooner, but that evidence from that therapy could still potentially be used by the prosecution in court. That doesn't sound like great news to me.
