Former Female Officer Accused of Sending Threatening Texts to Convicted Burglar Ex-Partner

A court has heard allegations that a female police officer bombarded a convicted burglar with threatening texts following the end of their three-week relationship. According to prosecutors, PC Miriam Virgo reacted strongly when Carl Cserfalvi-Young ended their romance, purportedly telling him he was a "dead-man walking."

The 43-year-old serving Thames Valley Police officer is accused of using a website that allows users to send anonymous texts for payment to threaten Mr. Cserfalvi-Young.

Judges Take Action to Eradicate Lengthy Court Waits for Rape Victims

In a promising move towards expediting justice for rape survivors, judges have made a commitment to eliminate the excruciatingly long two-year court waits endured by victims seeking justice. Lord Justice Edis, a highly esteemed figure within Britain's judiciary, has declared his intent to clear the backlog of rape cases delayed beyond the two-year mark by the conclusion of this summer. Subsequently, his aim is to ensure that no rape victim endures such a prolonged wait beyond this point.

Describing the prevalent court delays, some stretching to five years, as a "serious stain" on the criminal justice system, Lord Justice Edis deemed them "unacceptable" for victims, witnesses, and defendants alike. As the senior presiding judge for England and Wales, he expressed a firm resolve to prevent the recurrence of such delays in future rape cases.

40% of Shoplifting Cases at Co-op Go Without Police Involvement

According to research conducted by the Co-op, police failed to attend 40% of shoplifting incidents where undercover store staff detained the offender. Last year, Co-op guards detained 3,361 shoplifters, yet nearly two in five of them were able to walk away as police did not respond despite being notified.

This revelation comes amidst the backdrop of the Co-op reporting over 330,000 shoplifting incidents last year alone, marking a significant 44% increase from the previous year and averaging nearly 1,000 incidents daily. While the Co-op acknowledges some improvement in police attendance following a nationwide commitment by the 43 forces in England and Wales to address the surge in thefts, a substantial portion of shoplifters still evade justice.
