Fear of rape victim as cop files are lost

- BY JAMES CAMPBELL and LUCY THORNTON

A WOMAN who says she was raped after meeting a man on a dating website fears he could strike again after police lost evidence.

Humberside Police have been fined £130,000 after personal details including interview DVDs vanished.

Three years after the alleged rape, the woman, who cannot be identified, fears he is still a danger.

She says she was raped in his home in Teesside after talking to him on the dating website Zoosk.

The woman said: “I fear he could do the same thing to someone else. He didn’t seem remorseful and remained on the site.

“Cleveland Police asked to re-interview me but I can’t face reliving it.”

Humberside Police said they “deeply regret” any harm caused.
