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

After the trial, the sentencing [31]
We've finally reached the end of the road: the sentencing hearing. Of course it doesn't go smoothly, having to be postponed once and then running out of time on the first afternoon. But at least this means it is over. The whole awful ordeal has reached its close. Or has it? Further information that is revealed in court makes us doubt it...
