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: the many, many phone calls [25]
First of all, apologies for the delay in uploading the latest episode - II was exhausted and had to pause for a few weeks before feeling able to continue. This latest episode covers the afternoon of day three of the trial, when the DC in charge of the case takes the stand. You'll have noticed by now how slowly the wheels of justice turn - it seems like not much gets covered in a day and there are so many delays due to the judge having to be somewhere else, technical problems etc. But finally we hear from DC Megan Wade - and the evidence from the analysis of Mr Y's phone is startling...
Please be aware that this podcast mentions sexual assault, rape, eating disorders and mental health issues. There is occasional strong language and some graphic detail.
