When Emily Hunt woke up naked in a London hotel room next to a complete stranger she was confused, scared, and suspected she had been drugged. She gathered her things, went to the bathroom, and called her friend who alerted the police. As she left the hotel room, the police were waiting in the lobby to arrest the man â Christopher Killick â on suspicion of rape.Â
To Huntâs dismay, however, the Crown Prosecution Service didnât proceed with her case due to insufficient evidence. âThey donât go forward with most cases,â the now 41-year-old former PR executive says, referring to the statistic that only 1.4 per cent of police-recorded rapes in England and Wales resulted in a charge or a summons in the year to March 2019. Killick claimed the encounter was consensual and no prosecution for rape was ever brought against him.Â
