In the UK, in general, take advice. If you're bang to rights then a guilty plea (in court, not to the police) can affect sentencing.
Unfortunately, having said that, the UK conviction rate for rape is unbelievably low. "She liked sex ergo she deserved it" is still a line that juries are too willing to buy. It's fucking depressing.

That's pretty nuch why every one of these cases has settled before it reached court. The first thing the prosecution would do would be to get documetation of how many times this had happened, and the met policy that knowingly encouraged it.
