[2004] EWCA Crim 946

The defendant's conviction for rape was safe as the judge had been correct to refuse to allow cross-examination, under s.41 Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999, on the victim's past activity as a prostitute. There had been no breach of the defendant's right to a fair trial by refusing to allow cross-examination.
