A specific offence of romance fraud could help make it clearer that this is an offence, and a register of romance fraudsters could help others avoid falling victim to offenders.
This crime can be hugely detrimental to the victim. We believe current laws mean that victims can be retraumatised or not taken seriously, and be dismissed by authorities family or friends. This must change.
