Rape Shield Legislation: Thomas Leonard Ross KC and Angela Gray KC debate

40 years after Scotland first enacted rape shield legislation, the debate on how to protect the privacy and dignity of complainers whilst safeguarding the accused’s right to a fair trial continues. SASO West of Scotland welcomes you to join the debate in a rare opportunity to hear two of Scotland’s leading criminal lawyers, Thomas Leonard Ross KC and Angela Gray KC, debate the motion:

"Has the protection of alleged victims' sexual history in Scottish rape trials gone too far".

Thomas Leonard Ross KC will propose the motion and Angela Gray KC will oppose.
