Offences against Children: Victims (1 November 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many child victims of sexual abuse reached the age of 18 before there case was heard; and how many of those people were then cross examined in each year from 2016.

Asked by:
Nadia Whittome (Labour)

The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

The age of victims throughout the progression of a case through the Criminal Justice System and the number that were cross examined is not held centrally.
