What the petition asks

Student accused of rape: 'I've spent two years living in fear'

Liam Allan was accused of rape. However, the case against him collapsed and was thrown out of court after it emerged that a detective had failed to hand over text messages on the accuser's phone - seriously undermining the case.

Liam Allan, 22, was cleared as a trial got underway when lawyers were finally passed messages showing the complainant had begged him for sex and discussed violent rape fantasies.

After the collapse of his rape trial, Liam Allan wants to use his experience to change the way sexual offences are investigated.
