Why is it important?

Sexual offending is being reported at an ever increasing rate, particularly by adults in relation to offending they suffered as children. The article seeks to ensure that such allegations are charged properly making it easier for juries to follow cases (disposing of the need for opaque alternatives). The offending is also properly labelled and appropriate sentencing options are available if there is a conviction.
