Rape is a sensitive issue and one that is not easy for many of us to discuss.It’s even harder for those who experience the crime - which is difficult to prosecute.But with the lowest conviction levels on record in England and Wales, it prompts an uncomfortable question: Has rape become the perfect crime? Bonny Turner and Sam Thompson shared their stories with our 'Off Limits' digital series.We hear their experiences on this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast after neither case made it to court.Sky's Laura Bundock is also joined by senior producer Liv Moloney, who worked on the documentary - as well as rape survivor Winnie M Li and lawyer Luke Gittos, to discuss the complexities of rape investigations.Daily podcast team:Podcast producer - Annie JoycePodcast producer - Nicola EyersPodcast producer – Emma-Rae Woodhouse Interviews producer - Oli FosterArchive - Simon WindsorMusic - Steven Wheeler
