The use of a rape victim’s sexual history as evidence attracted
intense public attention after the acquittal of footballer Ched
Evans in 2017. Set within the context of a criminal justice system
widely perceived to be failing rape victims, the use of sexual
history evidence remains a flashpoint of contention around rape law
reform. This accessible book mounts an important interrogation into
the use of a victim’s sexual history as evidence in rape trials.
Adopting a critical multidisciplinary perspective underpinned by
feminist theory, the authors explore the role and significance of
sexual history evidence in criminal justice responses to rape.
