"evidence that discloses or implies (a) that the complainant has or may have had sexual experience or a lack of sexual experience, or (b) has or may have taken part or not taken part in any sexual activity, is inadmissible.”

The injustice system deliberately puts evidence that does neither and instead implies a pattern of behavior in this category. Tell me what you will but that judge is partisan as fuck.

That's how the legal system works... if you were trying someone for robbing a store, the fact that he was guilty of robbing 12 stores prior also wouldn't be admissible evidence.

Yes, but with any other type of crime her past apparent claims, those made to friends that were not pursued by police, would be admissible.

To try to protect victims they have denied the accused the ability to draw on past behaviour as could be done in any other type of crime.
