David Blundell, Chief Crown Prosecutor, retires
During the time when a man could not be charged with raping his wife unless they were divorced or there was a judicial separation order, David Blundell pushed the boundaries for one woman who suffered an horrific experience through the hands of her husband.
The man and his wife were separated but the man persisted in trying to have a relationship with the wife. After calling her up one night and asking if they could talk, the wife refused and the husband intruded in her home and attempted to rape her.
David Blundell saw this as an opportunity and tried the man for raping his wife. The husband pleaded guilty but then appealed. It went to The House Of Lords were his appeal was thrown out. Thanks to David Blundell’s boldness, the Government passed a legislation that a man could rape his wife.

Mother to face bitter custody battle after being jailed for adultery in Dubai
Dubai is a country with strict morality laws and if broken you can face the prospect of being jailed.
This happened to a UK mother, who after admitting having an affair was jailed for 2 months and is being deported. Dubai law states that during divorce proceedings and child custody mothers take custody of daughters, fathers of sons. However this is not the case with Mrs Sally Antia. As this is a case of adultery there will be a long battle for Mrs Antia ahead as the courts will see her as ‘unfit to look after the children’.
But Mrs Antia has vowed that she will do whatever it takes to get back her children.
