Everyone is Talking About This: the true story of a rape case audiobook
Trigger warnings: this podcast mentions rape, sexual assault, sexual violence, mental health conditions and eating disorders.
On an ordinary day in the summer of 2021, Lisa Lennox's eldest daughter, 17-year old Beatrice, or Bea for short, becomes the victim of one of the most horrendous crimes that can befall anyone. Nothing will ever be the same for Lisa and her family after this terrible event. What follows is the story of their experience with the police and the criminal justice system - the good parts, the bad parts, and the truly appalling parts. It's honest, unflinching and often gobsmacking. Occasionally, it's funny - but most of all it is true.
You can contact Lisa on: everyoneistalkingaboutthis@gmail.com

The trial: men's rules for a man's world [24]
The trial continues - day three now and, before we set off for the court, we get some extremely good news. However, once we arrive at the inhospitable building, our spirits soon flag once more. The defendant, Mr Y, seems to have done so many incriminating things - but how does the jury hold all this information in their heads? And we still have to contend with the defence barrister doing everything she can to blacken Bea's name....
Trigger warnings: this podcast deals with rape, sexual assault, anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
There are references to unwanted sexual contact and some strong language.
