    A staggering number of sexual violence crimes may be sliding by without repercussion

    A staggering number of sexual violence crimes may be sliding by without repercussion


    Only 31-percent of people charged with rape last year were convicted -- the lowest rate of conviction ever recorded.

    Women's Refuge says many more cases don't even end up in court.

    Chief executive Ang Jury says the whole justice system needs an overhaul.

    She says courts, judges and juries are still buying into rape myths and blaming victims for what is happening to them.
