BBC – Aug 30 – Police Scotland figures revealed ~160 people in a year reported being raped on a first or second date. Most had been talking with the perpetrator on dating apps or social media before they first met. The figure from 2018-19 equates to almost 11% of all rapes committed by someone other than a partner or ex-partner. Police have launched an awareness campaign – #Get Consent – to warn sex without consent is rape. The campaign costing £30K will feature posters in phone boxes and club washrooms and will run on social media platforms.
