[2007] EWCA Crim 485

Where a defendant had been indicted on two counts of rape, a judge had been entitled to direct that alternative verdicts of indecent assault could be returned where the jury was sure that sexual intercourse had occurred but the issue of consent could not be determined, as the statutory time limit did not apply.
