answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2023 answer text <p>The Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992, which makes provision for automatic reporting restrictions to protect the identity of complainants in cases of rape and other serious sexual offences, extends to the United Kingdom and does not apply to criminal proceedings overseas. Where, however, an offence of rape is alleged to have been committed abroad by a UK national (including a person holding one of the categories of citizenship listed in the Question) or by someone resident in the UK, there is the possibility of asserting extra-territorial jurisdiction and trying the case in a UK court. In cases where that is done, the reporting restrictions in the 1992 Act would apply in the usual way.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 04/09/2023 09:06:57 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
