        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Historical ? Rape is rape - time doesnt make it a lesser crime - just harder to prove.

        @BBCBreaking There should be a statute of limitations on these. The 1960s are a long time ago.

        @BBCBreaking what's the point of making these kind of arrests when nothing ever comes off it with mps?! Wasting more taxpayers money!

        @BBCBreaking why the use of the word historical? What is the cut off time for using that word in this context?

        @BBCBreaking Of course rape is an appalling crime but how can you actually prove its occurrence after over 40 years has passed?
