32-year-old Jade Blue McCrossen-Nethercott received £35,000 compensation from CPS for dropped rape case due to "sexsomnia."

32-year-old Jade Blue McCrossen-Nethercott received a £35,000 compensation payment from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) after her rape case was dropped due to claims of "sexsomnia," a rare sleep disorder. The CPS has since apologized for their handling of the case and pledged to improve their support for victims of life-changing crimes like rape. This is believed to be the first case in which a rape victim has been compensated by the CPS before a trial.
