I'm walking like a lonely child, never

knowing what's waiting for me. Feeling lost, I wonder far.

Reach out and touch me, take my hand.

See you later.

See you, my girl.

Excuse me, excuse me.

There's a guy in the red jacket back there.

Yeah, do you see?

He's been following you.

I'll just walk you through here. No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

No!

Shut the fuck up! Shut the fucking up!

Someone had a good night.

How was it?

And, bub, how was your night?

Fine. Good.

Six oil, baby.

Six oil, kick the cub.

Go in it.

You all right, Robbie?

You want a cuppa?

Bub.

You've been in a fight.

Jesus, Robin.

Told you not to go up there.

Go to your mate's place, the one with the pubs around here.

What do you want to go up the crosswalk? The place is full of dickheads. Did I

start preaching?

You don't know what you're talking about. You have no idea.

I only drink, Chad.

Are you drunk?

I'm not drunk.

I only have two drinks.

No, I wasn't in a fight.

Well, excuse me, I'm just...

Looking at what I'm saying, not a pretty sight.

You want to know what happened?

Really want to know what happened?

I tried to get her to change.

I know I'm going to think she's got my clothes.

She's been wearing those for days.

Robin, we've got to talk.

Did you eat all her dinner?

Yeah.

Who was it, Robin?

Did you know him?

Don't. I don't know who he was, okay?

No one can know about this, Dad.

Robin? Darling?

Robin?

Please, you can't have a shower, baby.

Robin?

Robin? It's evidence.

The evidence is on your body.

Darling, please do not have a shower.

Darling, you cannot step in that gallop, please.

Baby, come on. Open up, darling.

Robin.

What's wrong? I need to help with Robin.

Jesus Christ.

What are you doing here? Your father asked.

Hey, babe.

We need the clothes, bub. You're not having them. We need the clothes for

evidence, baby.

I'm giving nothing to nobody.

You need to report this, bub.

No, I don't. I don't have to do anything. Yes, you do. You need to

know it's going to be hard.

But if you don't, he's going to get away with it.

What's going to the cops going to do?

Huh?

I was raped.

They can't fix that.

And you know what else?

You're not going to report it.

Promise me.

Can't tell anyone ever.

Baby, come here.

Come here.

Move. I can't go to the club, and I'm not giving up my clothes. Okay, okay.

Look, I just don't want you to get burnt if you do this.

That's it.

Everything's gone.

Take it.

Take it.

Yeah, it's Aaron.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Actually, I'm not feeling too well at all.

Something's going around.

Yeah. So, I'm not going to make it today.

Yeah, just not feeling quite right.

Yeah.

I'll see you tomorrow, Sarge.

Thank you.

I will.

Yeah, bye.

Dad, please.

It's better work.

Robin. I don't need you hanging around here.

I'm all right.

I'm going to forget about it and sell you.

Are you going to report it? No, Dad, I'm not.

I'm not here.

I don't care who it is, I'm not here.

Where's Robin?

I... I'm so sorry, Robin.

You told her.

What? You told Celine about Robin.

Yeah, I did.

You promised, Ali.

You promised me and you promised Robin. Yeah, I did. I promised.

But what did you want me to do?

Huh? You told me.

Let my daughter roam around out there when there's a rapist on the loose?

I don't think so.

You promised, Ali.

How can I help you?

Um, I just want to get checked up for something, that's all.

What sort of something?

You know.

SEIs?

Yeah.

Are you currently in a relationship?

No.

Did you practice safe sex?

No. You do know what safe sex is?

Yeah, I do.

Okay, I'm going to need a blood test, a urine test, and I'm going to take a

swab. The bathroom is down the hall on the right.

Is there something like a pill that I can take in case I'm pregnant?

Yes. Yes, there is.

It's called ECP.

Some people call it the morning after pill. It's available at the chemist over

at the counter. But the best way to avoid this situation is to take

responsibility and use contraception.

Hey. Hey.

How's your girl?

You know.

Yeah, right.

Do you want to talk to someone?

I don't know.

Just leaving things be at the moment.

You can't let things be for too long, Aaron. Yeah, I know.

If she wants to talk.

Yeah, thanks. Look, I've got to get to work, so I'll see you when I can. Hey,

don't do this. Do what?

What do you want me to do?

I'm not sorry that I told Celine.

Yeah, you had to do what you had to do. Yeah, I did.

Look, if you need anything, you just ask me, okay?

Yeah, look, I've got to go.

You know what I'd like to do one night?

Is go into the city after the cross with a bunch of crews.

No uniform, just plain clothes.

Hail down some cabs.

See if they'd stop.

Bet they wouldn't.

Then I'd take down their number plates.

Book them.

Report to the fix.

Hey, David.

All right.

Here you go. Thank you.

Hey, where's the rest of it? Oh, yeah, sorry. That's all I've got on me right

now. Sorry.

Sorry you're not going to help me.

Five nights before 100, that's what you said.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Don't stress. You'll get your money. I'll put it in your account tonight.

have it in the morning. I don't want it in my account. I want it in my hand.

That was a deal. Cash in hand.

Look, Lorraine, what do you want me to do? Go to an ATM especially for you?

Yeah, do that. Well, I'm not going to.

Okay, I've got to pack up and get to another job. I'm already two hours late.

You'll get your money. I'm already late too. I've got kids to get home to.

Lorraine, I'm sorry.

It's going to be tomorrow.

Excuse me.

Is there a white cat under there?

No,

sorry. It's my son's cat.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can you come over here? You scare him over this side.

Scare him out.

And we'll catch him.

Where is he?

He's all right. He's all right. He's all right.

He's all right.

Shut your fucking mouth, understand?

Thanks very much.

Jade. It's Mum.

No, I'm just calling on work phone.

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm okay.

I need you to do something for me.

Can you look after the boys?

Give them a feed and a bath?

Just... heat up the spaghetti bog from last night.

Yeah.

No, I'm okay.

I'll... I'll see you later, okay?

Okay.

See ya.

Bye.

I want... talk to the police.

Yes, please.

I just want to report a crime.

My name is Lorraine Blake and I've just been

raped.

Thank you.

at the vicinity of James Street, Redfern, nearest Cross Street,

Car 105, proceed into James Street, Redfern. Over.

Copy, Redfern 105.

Standing by for a car to back up, Redfern 105.

Right.

I know where I went to live.

I'll never go that way.

I just wanted to get home with the kids.

I tell Jade all the time, stay in the light, stay where

people are.

Don't put yourself in a position where there's something going to happen.

Look what happened.

For someone to take her out of place.

You walked home.

That's okay.

People walk home every day.

You should have been safe.

I want you to know that you're safe here now.

You okay with being here?

My role is to attend to all your medical needs and to examine you for evidence

that the police may use later in court.

If that's okay with you.

Okay, I'm just going to start by asking you a few questions.

All right.

Since the assault, have you changed your clothing?

No.

Have you been to the toilet, done away?

No. Poop?

No. Have you vomited?

No. Have you washed your mouth or cleaned your teeth?

No. What about a drink or anything to eat?

No. Can you tell me if you've had consensual sex in the last seven days?

This is just in case the lab finds two sets of DNA.

No. Good.

Can you tell me if he put his penis anywhere else on your body, in your

No. Bottom?

Okay.

Daryl Hopkins.

Did you lose the mobile phone?

Yeah, I did. We're informing you that you've been placed under arrest for

aggravated sexual assault.

Do you understand that?

No. You have to come with us.

Now? Even now.

Daryl? I don't know if you understand.

You're obliged to say anything. Daryl?

Or do. You can be taken down.

I'll call you. Do I call you now?

I'll call you.

Get out.

Come here.

She's a good woman, you know.

And you're a fucking dog.

You know what, huh?

Blackfellas run me, John.

They're going to find out about you.

I'll make sure of that.

I'll take him from here. Yep.

He's all yours.

Can I get you in the game?

No.

You're gonna have to take down a titan in the event of tonight if you could in

your own words.

Hey. You OK?

Yeah, well... You know... Would you have a cup of tea?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Lorraine.

What are you sorry for?

I don't know.

People say.

Yeah.

True, though.

We got him.

We got him downstairs.

He's here?

Yeah.

Good.

Oh, my baby.

Look at him.

It's okay, Jade.

Thanks. All right.

What's happened?

Hey, Dad, you come and have a look at these.

Try this, Gil.

Starling up on this stage.

Big woman.

Look at her.

Anyone think she was walking the red carpet?

My baby.

She's just beautiful.

We arrested someone tonight.

I think we may have got him.

He's a stud.

You reported it?

Why would you do that? Is it because you're a copper?

Is that it?

Is it?

I asked you not to tell anyone and you promised me.

You promised. Robin.

Robin,

please. You couldn't keep your mouth shut. No, just listen to me.

You're a copper, yeah, but you're my dad.

And you promised me.

I promised you, baby, but... You can help yourself, eh?

You can help yourself.

Ellie tell you to do it? Ellie didn't tell me nothing. Did she?

Robin. She did. Please just listen to me. She told you to report it. She

tell me anything. Thanks a lot, Dad.

Imagine the gossip.

What's everyone going to think? They're all going to think I'm a slut or feel

sorry for me.

It's been hard for you, Dad, but it's been harder for me.

It was Lorraine.

Arnie Lorraine.

What?

We got him because Arnie Lorraine was raped.

Jesus, Dad.

I can't.

I can't report it.

Is she going to think she's going to hate me?

What's everyone else going to think?

God, please.

Please don't hate me.

Hey, I don't hate you.

I'm not going to judge you.

I'm going to fight for you. Hey, I'll go out swinging. Come here.

No, don't.

Whatever you do and whatever you want, I'll back you up.

I think it's going to be okay, though.

We got him.

There's nothing he can do now.

Where's Aunty Lorraine now?

Dropped her home.

She thanked me.

She thanked me for dropping her home.

It's okay.

No, it's not.

Yeah, it is.

Don't do this, Mum.

It's not alright and you know it.

David.

Yeah, sorry. I'm late.

Look, I'm not going to come in today.

Yeah, look, I've just got a few things on personal things.

Yeah, they're pretty bloody personal.

How personal?

I've just been raped, David.

Raped?

Yeah, well, I think that's pretty bloody personal in anyone's book.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks for your concern.

Yeah, I know.

That's not my cover.

It's just in time to make me breakfast.

What?

Nothing.

Two years.

Two bloody years ago. I was looking for an excuse to start up again.

It's a pretty good excuse, I reckon.

You're excused.

Thank you.

It's going to be hard.

What? The court case.

So you don't want me to go to court now?

The courts don't care.

They don't muck around.

They can say what they want. I'll take them on.

He's not getting away with it.

I'll make damn sure of it. Do it for my kids.

I'm going to be walking through there.

I wouldn't need to work if Raymond hadn't pissed off.

He stopped and left me with three kids to feed, run the house.

You kicked him out, Lorraine.

Yeah, well... I'll have to pay the bills.

You know, everything I make, every cent goes to paying off a debt.

It would be a hell of a lot easier if the man of the house was around.

All right.

I'm sorry for myself.

I'm stronger than that, aren't I?

You're strong.

Aaron.

Aaron.

Hold on.

You're right now, eh?

I told you.

I told you something like this was going to happen.

Is she all right? Not really.

Does Robin know? Yeah.

She knows.

Is she okay?

She's okay. She's struggling a little bit, but she's okay.

It was a long night.

She's up to her sleep with baby.

I'm really worried about her, Aaron.

I'm worried about you too.

What sort of policeman doesn't report a crime?

What does that mean? Can you be charged?

I'm her father, Ali.

I'm looking after her.

Is it the same bloke?

Yeah.

It is.

Well, that's it then.

Robin's got to say something. You've got to say something.

We can't let Lorraine go through this by herself.

She can't not report it now. She has to say something. Just like you reported

Indigo and he slapped you around.

Don't you dare compare a punch to a rape.

Just go.

What? Please just go. Piss off. Mind your own business.

Mind my own business? Please.

You're the one that come knocking on my door dragging me down here.

I'm in on this too now.

And I feel like shit.

Don't you dare tell me to mind my own business. You tell me not to report it,

not to say anything.

But then what?

Lorraine gets raped.

You know what?

We're going to send them in now, if you feel up to it.

In here.

Stand there.

Face the window.

Take them from there.

Ted, are you all right?

Sure.

You'll be pleased to know that all the tests have come back negative.

Very lucky you didn't catch anything this time.

You might want to have a read of these.

They explain the dangers of unsafe casual sex, unwanted pregnancy and the

Everything that's talked about in here is confidential, eh?

Yes, yes, of course.

I know what a condom is.

And I know what safe sex is.

You think I'm stupid, eh?

No. Like something called a slut.

You don't know why I came in here, do you?

Because I was raped.

Hey,

Robin. Hey, Jane.

How are you?

I'm okay.

I am.

Hey, darling, how's that big girl of yours? Oh, yeah, she's good. Still mad

ever.

Aunt, I'm so sorry for what happened.

Thank you, darling.

They got him.

That's the main thing.

Yeah.

Married man.

Three kids, flash house.

You never know, right?

No.

How you going with everything?

Oh, look, you know, it's hard.

But I got my day in court.

And if I could cut off his... You know what.

Anyway, bub, you take care, all right? Yeah, you too. See you, Robin. See you,

sis.

And my Joe?

She's in the kitchen.

Mum.

I rang him.

He knows.

He knows everything.

You go to shop? What for?

I don't know.

Bread.

We got bread.

I just need to talk to your father.

What am I getting?

I don't know. Your dad's back.

Get him a slab of BB.

Oh.

Hey.

Wife raped.

Why, vulnerable?

Needs a man to make everything all right?

Perfect opportunity to come back in and be the man of the house, eh?

I've got this covered, babe.

I don't need no psycho bastard coming in and wanting revenge. You got that?

You... You make me cry, and I'll slap you again.

What did you get up to today?

Nothing.

Hmm.

I seen Aunty Lorraine today.

Yeah?

Bumped into her in the street.

How'd it go?

I don't know.

Couldn't look her in the eye.

And how was she?

I don't know.

I know it's hard, but you've got to think yourself, bud.

Yeah.

I think of myself.

Yeah?

What if she finds out about what happened?

She's not going to find out, eh?

How's she going to find out?

Everyone finds out something somehow.

No one's going to find out.

What if someone else got raped or bashed or... And they didn't report it?

And say something happened to Donna because they didn't report it?

Something happened to her, you'd want to kill her, mate, eh?

I will.

What's up to? Nothing.

Enjoying the day.

Got any scrap, my uncle?

You got no shame, country.

Come on, bros. How many years have bludgeoned me?

Twenty -three years. We're family.

Oh, we're not family.

Come on, bros. You can't claim everybody as family.

We're all family.

Hmm. Trouble in paradise.

What? Just a girl not happy.

Yeah, whatever.

Where are you going?

Alley.

To his girlfriend?

Who is it?

Hey, I need to talk to you. What do you want?

Could you come downstairs, please?

Can't you tell me here?

I need to talk to you downstairs.

Really? Yes, really.

Look, if we're going to argue, we may as well get married.

Are you going mad?

Don't be stupid.

Here you go.

You all right?

Yeah. You sure?

Yeah. Okay.

So how was Ali today?

I think I might leave that one a little while.

Dad. Hey, don't worry, Robin. She doesn't want to marry me.

Eh?

Marry you?

What, you asked her straight out? Yep, asked her straight out. No mucking about

me.

And she said no?

Yes, she said no.

What for?

You know why, eh, Dad?

No, it's not because of you. It's got nothing to do with you.

It's got everything to do with me.

If I'd gone to the cops, and now Aunty Lorraine... No, Robin, don't.

Don't blame yourself. Like I said, it's just the timing, that's all.

Dad, I... Please leave it, Robin.

Look, I could ask you something.

You might not like it.

You might say no, and that's fair, I understand.

But I've got to know, Robin.

I've got to know if that bloke in court is the same bloke that I

need you to come to court tomorrow.

He threw me on the car.

Face first.

And he used his knees to spread my legs open.

He ripped off my underpants.

I tried to fight, but he was choking me.

He was on top of me.

And then he started raping me.

How did you respond?

I fought.

I fought as hard as I could, but he was too strong.

Face right on my face, telling me that if I didn't shut up, he would kill me.

And what happened then?

I stopped fighting.

You know, I stopped hitting him.

I couldn't get him off me.

And what did you do then?

As he was raping me, I was looking in his pocket, feeling

his car keys, wallet, anything.

I got his mobile phone.

And when he's finished, I call the police.

I call the police on his mobile phone.

I thought you'd given up.

Yeah, so did I.

What, you're going to start too, are you?

No. I'm not starting nothing.

What are you doing, then?

What do you mean?

What are you doing here, Raymond?

I'm here for you, Lorraine. Are you?

Yes.

If I'd have been here, none of this would have happened.

It's not your fault.

He did this to me, not you.

I know.

I thought I was never going to see how kids get.

I was hoping he was going to look after them.

You want to do something for me?

Stay here.

Go after the kids.

I don't want you going to court tomorrow.

I don't want you sitting there and listening to that fellow deny the whole

thing.

Just be here.

I'll be okay.

Dad?

Can you take me around to see Aunty Lorraine?

What for?

I want to say sorry for not saying anything.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey!

Um, just wondering if you wouldn't mind Donna for a while.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. It won't be long.

Just going out to Lorraine.

Robin's got something to tell her.

Okay.

Well, if she needs to stay for the night, it's okay.

No, no, we'll be all right.

All right.

Well, just let me know then, eh? Of course.

Come on, the girl.

Go on then.

You'll be a good girl now.

Yeah!

your mom up to?

Come here.

No, that's right.

I, uh, I just wanted to say, um,

I just wanted to say how brave you were today.

That's all.

You were amazing.

Thank you, mom.

I know it's hard.

You can't carry this.

It'll eat you.

Just promise me you'll... You'll come here if it gets too much.

Yeah.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, Dad. I just couldn't... Hey, it's all good, bub. It's all good.

OK?

Hey, hello. Hey.

Donna, your mum and pop are here.

Hey, big woman.

How was it? Yeah.

Good?

Thanks, Celine.

I'm going to get this girl to bed. Come on.

How'd it go?

Yeah, it was all right.

How's Lorraine? Is she all right?

Yeah, she's good.

Well, that's it. Just good?

Well, we went there and Robin told her how brave she was.

What do you mean, how brave she was?

In court.

How brave she was to stand up in court and testify.

That's it?

Yeah. Nothing about her?

No, she couldn't do it. Could have said something.

Oh, what do you want me to say?

Jesus Christ, Aaron, you're the father, the parent. You want to give her what

she needs, not what she wants. I'm trying, Ali. That's not enough, Aaron.

Well, tell me, Ali, what is enough? I just told you.

Is anyone home?

Hey. Hey.

What you up to?

I couldn't sleep.

Last night, what Robin told me.

You know she's got to talk to someone, eh?

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Where is she?

She's inside there. Well, I was knocking on the door. I don't know. Might be

asleep.

Robin, Lorraine's down here to see you.

Hey, Bob. How are you?

Hi.

Yeah, good.

How's Donna?

Yeah, nah, she's good too.

When did it happen?

About a year ago.

I'll leave you two alone.

The tree and stuff, eh?

Did you know him?

No.

Have you seen him around since it happened?

No.

You want a cocktail or anything?

No. Better than right, thanks.

Did he talk to anyone?

Your dad?

Counselor? No.

You need to talk to anyone, okay?

See you, bub.

Bye.

How'd you go? No, nothing.

You look after that girl, eh?

I will.

You're a good dad, aren't you?

We're going to get him, all right?

Yeah, I know.

Thanks, Celine.

All right.

See you soon.

Okay. Bye.

You okay?

Yeah.

Celine's going to take Donna to kindy.

How come?

I want to see his face, Dad.

When he goes down, I want to be there.

You'd say you're an honest person, wouldn't you, Mrs Blake?

Or it is Mrs, isn't it?

Yes. And yes.

And you're sure about that?

Yeah, I'm sure.

But it's true, isn't it, that you've defrauded the Commonwealth Government of

Welfare payments in the range of $60 ,000.

In the face of that, Mrs Blake, how can you say that you're an honest person?

I am an honest person. But I just asked you if you were an honest person and you

failed to admit that you've committed a fraud.

So in saying that...

You've just lied to the jury, haven't you, Mr. Blake?

I didn't lie. Yes, you did.

The simple question I asked of you is, are you an honest person?

Now, honest people don't lie.

Can you tell me you didn't just lie?

You could call it a lie.

You always lie, Mr. Blake. Objection, Your Honor. What's the relevance?

Relevance.

I have instructions from my client to erase the issue of character, Your

As long as your client's aware of the consequences that arise from such a line

of questioning.

Yes, Your Honour.

Fraud.

Just so we're all clear, it was fraud, wasn't it, Mr Blake?

Yes.

Fraud, and it's something that I'm deeply ashamed of, and I'm paying it

every last cent of it.

That's very admirable of you, Mr Blake. Very honest, you might say.

Now, let's look to the night of the alleged assault.

Now, the curious thing that I hope you can shed some light on.

Is where had you been that night?

I was out.

Out? Out where?

Walking. Walking.

Okay. But your attire on the night suggests it wasn't for exercise. You

wearing exercise gear, were you, Mrs Lake? No.

So where were you?

I've got a job.

A job? Yeah.

And what sort of job sees you on the dark streets of Sydney at night and not

home with your children, Mrs Lake? Your Honour, object. You're badgering the

witness.

It's better to be leading somewhere, counsel.

I'd like Mrs Blake to explain to the court the reason for her being on the

streets at night, Your Honour.

I'm not allowing that question.

Mrs Blake, simply answer the question, where were you on that night prior to

interview?

I have a cleaning job.

It's a couple of hours a night to help with things with the bills.

Cash in hand, is it?

Yeah. Cash in hand, so no paperwork, no pay slip. Basically, it's undeclared

income.

In effect, you're defrauding the Commonwealth government yet again. No,

not.

I have a second job because I have kids to feed and bills to pay.

Yes. Your circumstances are difficult, Mrs Blake.

Single mum, three kids, $60 ,000 debt to pay off.

Money's tight, isn't it, Mrs Blake?

Yes, it is.

Mrs Blake, this is what actually happened, isn't it?

You had consensual sex with my client, didn't you?

No, I didn't. And then you demanded money from him. You hold up right there.

That's not what happened.

I was raped.

Why would I lie?

Why would I put myself through this, put my family through this if it didn't

happen? Mrs Blake, you've defrauded the Commonwealth Government twice and

everything you've said about this incident is total fabrication.

I am not lying now. How's the jury expected to believe you? Because it's

truth. Mrs. Blake, is it your intention to put in a claim for victim

compensation? I don't want this court's money. You can shove it.

I promised myself that I wouldn't cry until that man there was found guilty.

I work hard.

I work two jobs, day and night, to feed my kids.

I would steal to feed them if I had to. Anyone would.

But there are two things that I wouldn't do.

I wouldn't sell myself.

And I'm like you.

I wouldn't defend a racist.

The defence calls the accused, Mr Daryl Hopkins, to the stand.

Can you please state for the court your full name and your profession?

Daryl Lawrence Hopkins.

I run my own business. I've been a chartered accountant for over 10 years.

And Mr Hopkins, are you married?

Yes.

Yes, I'm married. Three children.

And Mr Hopkins, have you ever been in trouble with the police before?

Never.

Apart from the occasional parking fine, I've never been in trouble with the law,

no.

Can you please tell the court of the event on the night of the alleged

I was working late and I was heading home.

I've been married for 18 years.

Until this night, my wife was the only person that I'd ever had sex with in all

those years.

And I am truly disgusted with myself that that is no longer the case.

And can you please tell the court what happened that night?

I was walking along and I was approached by a woman.

She was black.

She offered me sex.

I couldn't believe it. I laughed and I kept going.

Then she came back and she kept going.

She leaned in really close.

I could smell it.

And I'm a

man, so... It happened.

And I leaned in and we kissed.

And then I'm ashamed to say that we had sex right there on that car.

And can you tell the court what happened next?

And she started asking me for money.

So I laughed in her face.

And that's when she freaked out.

When you say freaked out, Mr. Hopkins, can you please explain to the jury

exactly what you mean?

She started hitting me. She started trying to scratch me.

She was trying to get my wallet.

I don't know how she got my phone.

And then... I just ran.

Mr Hopkins, is there anything else that you'd like to share with the court

today?

I had sex with that woman.

But I did not rape her.

I betrayed my wife, my family, kids.

For that, I am truly sorry.

I have no further questions, Your Honour.

My client is a 40 -year -old accountant with no criminal record.

He's never been in trouble with the law.

And yet, you're being asked to believe that a man such as this, happily

law -abiding accountant, suddenly decides at the age of 40 to turn rapist.

And who's asking you to believe this?

Mrs. Lorraine Blake.

A woman whose evidence you've seen in court.

A woman who's lied and lied.

Now I would ask you to consider the reliability of her evidence.

She has described herself as someone who would lie and steal and do anything

to feed her children.

It's her word against his.

I let you be the judge.

And I ask you to find him not guilty.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you've heard all of the evidence presented in

this case.

Lorraine.

Lorraine.

Just wait a minute, please.

Lorraine, I'm sorry, Lorraine.

You don't know how sorry I am. I tried to get her to report it, and I should

have. I'm her father, and I should have done something, but what could I do?

She was scared.

And she begged me not to say anything.

I couldn't betray her.

Hate me, Lorraine, but please don't hate Robin.

Robin, please ring me. Just ring me and tell me that you're okay.

It's done. It's done.

What now?

One other thing.

Yeah.

Ask me again.

What?

Did you ask me the other day?

Ask me again.

What?

You want to get married?

Yes.

Good night.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I understand you've reached a verdict.

I'm sorry.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Guilty.
