An Oxford university dropout who was accused of rape has had the charges dropped after being o nail for the past two years. It is said that he is a chemistry scholar, and was told that prosecutors would offer no evidence against him just before his trial. Apparently, there have been unnecessary delays concerning this case, for the past two years and has therefore been dropped under such circumstances.
This is the fourth time is four weeks that a rape case has collapses under such circumstances. The judge has demanded an explanation from head of CPS rape and sexual offences unit within the next 28 days as to why it has taken so long. The accused has suspended his study after allegations have been made.
This is similar to recent stories, especially that of Brock Turner in which he was only sentenced to serve three months of jail, due to sexual assault charges. Most of these news articles that have reported these stories always make the suspect/convicted seem like they are less of a criminal than they actually are by mentioning; their education, their age or something to provoke emotion, meanwhile not mentioning anything about the victim and what they might be going through.
Unfortunately, persons like this and cases like this still go by without the proper punishment, and leaving the victims without proper closure.
The source is BBC News, known to be quite right wing therefore showing the accused in a more innocent light.

Rhian i feel that you are relying too much on the article and not bringing enough of your opinion or that of others into the writing, yes you have given a comparison and stated the source and its perhaps bias but you need to ad contextuality, particularly at this tome of the #metoo & #timesup campaigns. Always include what form of REPRESENTATION you are discussing as that is the main reason for analysing the story.
