"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"An alleged victim of historical sexual abuse is facing a lengthy wait for justice as the crown court backlog has seen his case adjourned for two years. The man from the West Midlands, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said that he reported the alleged crime in July 2018, nearly 40 years after it occurred. West Mercia Police then took two years to interview the alleged perpetrator, he said, and the Crown Prosecution Service did not lay a charge until April 2024."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' while avoiding paywalls and seeking donations to fund on-the-ground reporting. An alleged victim from the West Midlands reported historical sexual abuse in July 2018, nearly 40 years after it occurred. West Mercia Police took two years to interview the alleged perpetrator, and the Crown Prosecution Service charged in April 2024. The trial was adjourned in July to July 2027, reflecting the crown court backlog. The government plans measures including limiting jury trials, and some proposals to scrap jury trials for certain cases have been announced.
