Following a Court of Appeal ruling to jail two teenagers for rape after an “unduly lenient” non-custodial sentence, the justice system is systematically isolating victims who have “sufffered” and been “traumatised” says former safeguarding minister and MP, Jess Phillips.
Jess Phillips was speaking to Calum Macdonald in for John Pienaar on Times Radio Drive. Listen live every Monday to Thursday, from 4-7pm.
