Asked by: Barry Sheerman (Labour (Co-op) - Huddersfield)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, what guidance has been issued by the Crown Prosecution Service on prosecuting digital and online crime.

Answered by Robert Buckland

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has issued comprehensive and detailed Legal Guidance to its prosecutors on a wide range of digital and online crimes including those which target computer systems and those other crimes (such as stalking and child sexual abuse) where the internet or communications technology is used in order to commit the offence.

In addition, the CPS is committed to keeping its prosecutors up-to-date with developments relating to digital and online crime, through the provision of learning and development modules that include cyber stalking, online fraud, online grooming, prosecuting cases involving social media and handling digital evidence.
