Police in the UK have Wrongly Labelled hundreds of suspected rapists as women, according to data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Figures show that over the past four years, police forces have referred 260 "females" to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to consider charges of rape. A further 209 suspects have been recorded as having "unknown" sex, which includes those who identify as non-binary. The Home Secretary has said that the practice of labelling rape suspects as women is wrong, and campaigners argue that the system is an insult to victims of sexual violence.
