I’m less protected now than before my rapist’s trial

Amelia Price is calling for non-harassment orders (NHOs) to be mandatory in certain domestic abuse-related cases after the judge chose not to impose one on her abuser.

The 27-year-old, whose ex-partner was convicted of raping and assaulting her, says she will be less protected when he is released from prison later this year than she was before the trial.

Ms Price told BBC News her abuser was under bail conditions before his conviction but she now faces the “terrifying prospect” he might be able to legally contact her once he has served his sentence.

In a letter to Ms Price the Scottish government said ministers did not think mandatory NHOs would be appropriate in every domestic abuse case.
