A girl cries rape – but is she lying?
Thursday, 14 January 2010 21:00 ITV1
DC Jo Masters tackles a particularly sensitive case… Sixteen-year-old Janine Clark claims she has been gang-raped. The trouble is, it's her word against the statements of her alleged rapists – and the four lads all say she agreed to group sex.
Janine is first found by DC Terry Perkins at a rape clinic. At Sun Hill, she tells him that what started out as a date with her boyfriend, Mark, turned into sexual assault at the hands of his friends, Greg, Paul and Leo, with Mark’s help. Mark’s a cocky specimen, who insists that there was no rape; Janine was just being very nice to him and his mates: they wanted group sex and she gave it to them.
Jo is interviewing Greg, who has his mum Susan at his side. He tells her that Janine kissed him in front of Mark a couple of weeks earlier. Case closed then. As far as Susan is concerned Janine was asking for it. And DI Neil Manson tells Jo that Janine's behaviour will make it difficult to convict the boys of rape.
Furious, Jo refuses to give up. She's convinced that Janine is telling the truth but she only has two hours left to prove it. After then, Mark and his horrible little friends will walk free. So she targets Greg, the group's weak link, determined to get him to confess...
