首相是在一位警察局长表示在拉塞尔·布兰德的审判期间所做出的言论接近于“指责受害者”之后做出上述回应的。

The PM was responding after a police chief said comments made during Russell Brand's trial came close to "victim blaming".

亚当·戈尔德史密斯报道称,安迪·伯恩姆表示,政府需要确保强奸案受害者不会感觉自己像是在受审。

By Adam Goldsmith Andy Burnham has said the government needs to make sure that victims in rape cases do not feel like they are on trial.

在此之前,伦敦警察厅负责人马克·罗利爵士向BBC表示,他听到的关于拉塞尔·布兰德审判的报道内容非常接近于“指责受害者”,这是警方一直在深入思考并确保不会做的事情。

His comments come after Metropolitan Police boss Sir Mark Rowley told the BBC that what he heard reported from Russell Brand's trial came very close to "victim blaming".

首相在接受泰晤士电台采访时表示,政府需要“不断审视”强奸案审判的进行方式,以便在法庭上更好地支持声称受害的人,尽管BBC新闻了解到目前并没有修改有关强奸案审判法律的计划。

The government needs to "constantly look" at how rape trials are conducted to better support alleged victims in court, the prime minister told Times Radio, although BBC News understands there are no plans to change the law around rape trials.

演员兼喜剧演员布兰德在伦敦经历了为期四周的审判后,被裁定一项强奸罪和三项性侵犯罪名成立。

Actor and comedian Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault after a four-week trial in London.

周五,在接受BBC广播第四台《今日》节目采访时,有人向马克爵士指出,布兰德的辩护大律师伊恩·温特御用大律师“告诉陪审团,用他的话说,没有一个起诉人‘反抗、尖叫甚至试图离开’”。

During an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Friday, it was put to Sir Mark that Brand's defence barrister Ian Winter KC "told jurors none of the complainants had in his words 'resisted, screamed or even tried to leave'".

马克爵士回答说:“我认为我所听到的一些报道倾向于,这非常接近于指责受害者,这是我们在警务工作中经过深思熟虑并确保不会做的事情。”他表示,他将支持受害者专员提出的呼吁,即设立一项法律义务,要求法官在每起强奸案审判中就强奸迷思和误解对陪审团进行指导。

Sir Mark replied: "I think what I've heard reported heads towards, it's getting very close to victim blaming, which is something we've thought very hard about in policing and make sure we don't do." He said he would support a call from the Victims' Commissioner for a legal duty that would require judges to direct juries on rape myths and misconceptions in every rape trial.

马克爵士解释说:“不应该允许向陪审团做出不准确的陈述,暗示由于强奸受害者没有以某种特定方式行事,就凭空削弱了他们的案件。”

"It shouldn't be possible for inaccurate statements to be made to a jury to suggest that because a rape victim didn't behave in one way that somehow undermines their case," Sir Mark explained.

伯恩姆周六在接受泰晤士电台采访时表示,他将“密切关注”这位警察局长的言论。n他说,政府需要研究如何“确保她们离开时不觉得自己在法庭上受审”。

In a Times Radio interview on Saturday, Burnham said he would "look closely" at the police chief's comments. He said the government needed to look at how to "make sure they do not leave the woman feeling like she is on trial in court".

他说:“我随时准备做出改变。我们需要鼓励更多女性站出来举报强奸案,我们需要提高定罪率。”n“所有这一切都是我们政府打击针对女性和女孩暴力行为的更广泛议程的一部分。”

"[I'm] always prepared to make changes," he said. "We need to encourage more women to come forward to report rape, we need to get the conviction rate up. "All of this is part of our broader agenda as a government combatting violence against women and girls."

当被追问这是否会导致法律修改时,首相回答说:“我不会排除任何可能性……我将极其详细地研究这里发生的事情。”

Pressed on whether this might lead to a change in the law, the prime minister replied: "I wouldn't rule anything out... I will study what's happened here in great detail."

曾主演《忘记莎拉·马歇尔》等电影的布兰德将于周一被判刑,预计将面临重刑。n在陪审团商议了八个半小时后,他被判另外两项强奸罪和一项企图猥亵罪不成立。n这名51岁男子被拒绝保释,将在拘留中度过周末。n此后有消息称,布兰德还面临两名女性提出的进一步强奸指控,并已就这些投诉接受了警方的盘问。伦敦警察厅表示,其调查“仍在进行中”。

Brand, who has starred in films including Forgetting Sarah Marshall, will be sentenced on Monday and is expected to face substantial jail time. He was found not guilty of two other counts of rape, and one count of attempted indecent assault after the jury deliberated for eight-and-a-half hours. The 51-year-old was refused bail and will spend the weekend in custody. It has since been revealed that Brand is also facing further rape allegations made by two women and has been questioned by officers in relation to the complaints. The Met said its investigation "remains ongoing".

马克爵士在《BBC早餐》节目中表示,他“如果看到更多人站出来,也不会感到惊讶”。

Sir Mark told BBC Breakfast he "wouldn't be surprised if many more came forward".

在布兰德的审判之后,受害者专员克莱尔·瓦克斯曼表示,强奸案审判的进行方式必须“能够挑战关于性暴力的迷思和误解”。n瓦克斯曼在一篇社交媒体贴文中写道:“受害者需要确信司法程序是公平的,并且基于证据,而不是基于对强奸和创伤的迷思与错误假设。”n妇女正义中心主任兼创始人哈里特·威斯特里奇周六在接受《今日》节目采访时表示,陪审团需要理解“潜在行为”,而不能对受害者在特定情况下的行为“妄加判断”。

In the wake of Brand's trial, Victims' Commissioner Claire Waxman said rape trials must be conducted "in a way that challenges myths and misconceptions about sexual violence". In a social media post, Waxman wrote that "victims need confidence that the justice process is fair and based on evidence, not myths and false assumptions about rape and trauma". Speaking to the Today programme on Saturday, director and founder of the Centre for Women's Justice Harriet Wistrich agreed that juries need to understand "underlying behaviours" without "running to judgement" over how a victim behaved in a particular way.

n但前保守党议员安娜·苏布里现已重返大律师工作,经常在刑事法院辩护强奸和性犯罪案件,她告诉BBC,马克爵士的言论“误导了人们”。n她说:“这些案件中的每一位法官都必须并且已经在这些确切的问题上对陪审团做出了非常坚决的指导。”n因此,她表示自己对这位警察局长“感到非常失望”,并强调“我们必须信任我们的陪审团”,他们能够理解性犯罪的本质。

But former Conservative MP Anna Soubry, who has now returned to her work as a barrister where she often defends rape and sexual offence cases in the Crown court, told the BBC "people are being misled" by Sir Mark's comments. "Every single judge in those cases must give, and does give, a very firm direction to the jury on exactly these points," she said. As a result, she said she was " really disappointed" in the police chief and stressed "we've got to trust our juries" who are able to have an understanding of the nature of sexual offences.
