Immigration, you can discuss Rapes on another thread. No connection to Immigration, clearly. As we have seen in Sweden.

I don't like his beard - all beards should be banned.
If a person was accused of robbery and the only evidence against them was the word of one person I doubt whether the CPS would forward that to a court as it doesn't meet their threshold. If they did I doubt a jury would convict.
Rape is a terrible crime but often the evidence is simply not there.

No need to act like a mod mate.
It's hardly as if we are going to abandon the immigration topic.

Just one in six failed asylum seekers removed from UK
Official figures show 4,577 migrants were still living in taxpayer-funded accommodation last year despite all their claims and appeals having been rejected

Typical useless civil Service failing to rubber stamp the removal documentation. "The entire civil Service is behind you minister", so far behind that they cannot be traced.Just one in six failed asylum seekers removed from UK

I don't think I commented on the case, but it would hardly be a shock if someone was gang raped in Epsom or anywhere else since our government continues to allow unidentified illegals to settle all over the country. People have been raped and murdered on a regular basis as a result, but I know you can't bring yourself to face that reality because reality is not your business.

I am awaiting the unraveling of the Epsom riot and questions need to be answered, why did the "young Lady" who complained do so was she in some way coerced,will she be charged? At a time when shops are struggling who will pay for the shops being shut also Epsom needed cleaning up who pays? A sad look for Great Britain throughout the world disgusting.

Epsom protests 'disastrous' for business - traders

Epsom BID said the protests had adversely affected the town's trade and the safety of retail and hospitality staff

It comes after Surrey Police confirmed on Thursday that inquiries into a reported rape outside a church were closed as they had concluded "no sexual offence had occurred".
During the investigation, protesters marched in the town centre demanding descriptions of the suspects.
An Epsom Business Improvement District (BID) statement said retail and hospitality workers had been "harassed, intimidated and racially abused".
It added shoppers avoided coming to the town as they feared encountering protesters.
Epsom BID said one of the town's heritage buildings had suffered criminal damage costing £15,000.
"Bulk incidents of theft have been carried out, huge volumes of eggs were stolen to pelt police," they said.
"And floral displays around the town were destroyed."
The statement added: "For Epsom's economy and business community, it has been nothing short of disastrous."
Karen Pengelly, Epsom's BID manager, said they would be working with Surrey Police to identify the offenders.
She hoped the town could "focus on the positives", especially with Surrey Day approaching on 9 May.
"There is much to celebrate about Epsom," she added. "We will continue our long established tradition of welcoming all."
A woman in her 20s had initially reported that she had been raped outside Epsom Methodist Church in the early hours of 11 April, after leaving Labyrinth Epsom nightclub.

We can be safely assured that there was barely any trouble at all, as it would have been the first item on the news, over and over again.

Yeah and it looks like the extent of violence by the "far right" was a few eggs stolen and a few flowers trodden on 😂😂😂
If I could be bothered I would compare it to that of the blm riots.
Really! You need look no further than the HRA for the main reason, they are not removed. Furthermore, as I’ve said many times on here, to remove you need to obtain travel documentation from their country of origin. Surprise, Surprise this takes months/years if it happens at all. Still if they were detained in secure accommodation, what a difference that would make. Who is against long term detention? Oh that would be the left
Perhaps she has mental health issues? That seems too be the “in” excuse for no end of crimes

Businesses in Epsom say recent protests have been "disastrous" for the local economy and the town's reputation.

Calls for patience after rape report sparked protests

Police officers were pelted with eggs and beer cans during protests after a woman reported being raped near a church in Epsom, with protesters calling for the ethnicity of the alleged perpetrators to be made public.
The investigation was closed on Thursday after police revealed that the woman who made the report on 11 April had suffered a head injury after leaving a nightclub.
Darren Pemble, Surrey Police Federation chairman, said that members had been subjected to "unacceptable" verbal and physical abuse and violence.
In a statement on Monday, Pemble added: "We thank our officers for the way they have conducted themselves during a challenging period and for their professionalism.
"It goes without saying that Surrey Police will take every report of sexual offending seriously and every allegation will be investigated in full.
"Investigations are complex and are not solved within 60 minutes as we see on TV. We need the public to be patient and trust us to uncover the facts."
Surrey Police said that the head injury the woman had sustained had led her to give a confused account of what had taken place.
As a result, the force confirmed that it was "confident" that no offence had taken place.

Helen Maguire, MP for Epsom and Ewell, said that she found the unrest in the town "deeply concerning".
Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend defended the way that the police handled the case, adding that it would not have been appropriate for officers to provide a "running commentary" on the investigation until they had completed their investigations.
"Sadly, this situation was exploited by some who used legitimate concerns local residents may have had around the safety of women and girls in our communities to push a far more sinister narrative," she added.
"Instead of exercising some degree of patience and restraint and letting the police do their job to establish the facts, we had numerous social media commentators, politicians and 'experts' lining up to give their theories on a case they had limited knowledge of."
