Amy Packham has secured an acquittal for rape on behalf of a vulnerable client who waited 3 years for the outcome.

In cross examination the first complaint witness admitted that the complainant had told her that she had wanted to be alone with the defendant and was attracted to him. She also admitted that the complainant had asked her not to tell the police certain things, because ‘it might make it all look very different’. The complainant had denied really important aspects of the defence case which the complaint witness agreed for the first time in court.
