00:00Since I started this story, there's been a lot of pushback.

00:09Nobody wants it revisited.

00:11We've questioned why you would want to make a documentary about feminism and spin it around

00:17to Mervyn Thompson.

00:18The police in Auckland have warned against people taking the law into their own hands,

00:24which follows a group of women allegedly attacking a man last night after luring him to a meeting.

00:29The story was so strange, but certainly off the planet.

00:40They were going to kill me, what the heck, what had he done?

00:45There's been a 30% increase in the number of rapes reported.

00:48She was raped several times.

00:50It was a particularly violent assault.

00:54Sexual violence was rife.

00:56For me, it was something that had to be dealt with.

01:02What did women hear that provoked this?

01:04That he was a rapist.

01:06Mr Thompson, is that true?

01:07Have you raped anyone?

01:08No, I haven't committed any rapes.

01:14The chances of convicting a white middle class rapist are pretty low.

01:19There's not one piece of evidence.

01:22It was no one came in and said he raped me.

01:25Who were they?

01:26And why are they hidden behind their little mask of secrecy for so long?

01:31Girls know it, Mum.

01:33Two people said that they'd heard you say that you were involved.

01:37Absolutely no way.

01:40There are people now who still believe that I did it.

01:44Were you involved?

01:45No.

01:46I think it was incredibly brave.

01:47I really don't know.

01:48Not hiding.

01:49We're all actors, all giving Oscar performances, and how the hell do you judge who's telling

02:01you the truth or not?

02:04So what's made you decide to talk about this after all these years?
