RFI reports that the UK government has announced a judicial reform intended to speed up the handling of rape and sexual assault cases.

According to the report, it currently takes an average of one year and two months between a suspect's indictment and the start of a trial, a delay the outlet says has led many victims not to file complaints at all.

RFI notes the reform has long been sought by victim advocacy associations.
