Stacey Dooley explores the challenges of reporting rape when the alleged perpetrator is someone you know and asks whether the justice system delivers what those desperate to be believed hope for. With an increasing number of rape cases going to court and growing backlogs, complainants are left waiting years for their day in court – prolonging their trauma and testing their resilience.
