Short filmTranscript
00:01I was raped last night.
00:02Why who?
00:03By the cab driver.
00:04I think he must have put something in my drink.
00:06Can you tell us what he did to you?
00:07Well, no, I can't because I don't remember any of it.
00:09But I just keep thinking, if he did do something, why would he drive you to the police station?
00:13Stop saying him!
00:16Therefore, I do have to tell you that our investigation is being closed down.
00:19It just, it feels like you don't believe me.
00:21I believe something may have happened to you, but I do not believe that you were raped.
00:24The actions of the cab driver, witnessed by police,
00:27appear to be those of a responsible, law-abiding individual.
00:30I've had a great night tonight, meself.
00:38Why don't you go out with Poppy then, if I'm so needy?
00:42Come on.
00:44I just...
00:49Obtuse.
00:50Obtuse.
00:52Oh, you are so good with words.
00:54Oh, a compliment. Be careful.
00:58Sure.
01:00Um...
01:00It's really fucking late, and, um...
01:04I need to be up with something.
01:05Okay, it's fine. Just go.
01:07I'll, uh, I'll just sit here, being obtuse.
01:11Um...
01:12Will you, uh, leave your phone on?
01:15And call me?
01:16Okay, you're actually annoying me now.
01:18Okay.
01:22One, two, one, five.
01:27One.
01:27One, three.
01:31One.
01:34One, two, one.
01:38One.
01:40One.
01:41One, two, three, two.
01:44One, two, one.
01:47I love you.
02:28Can I give you a lift?
02:30Oh, it's okay. I, um, the night bus will be here soon.
02:36I don't like to see a woman out of her own late at night.
02:38Well, what I've got is, uh, my bus fare, so...
02:43Well, where you going?
02:45East Sheen.
02:45Oh, you're in luck. I live that way. I can say you're on my way home.
02:51Really?
02:52Come on, jump in. The fire changed me mind.
02:55Oh, thank you. That was so great.
03:04I saw you with a ciggy. Here, help yourself.
03:07Oh, thank you.
03:20Oh, I forgot to mention, the only thing is you can't smoke in the cab,
03:24so can you sit on the floor, then nobody can see you?
03:27Yeah. Uh, sure.
03:31It's all right.
03:46I picked up this woman the other day, right, and she said...
03:49This is true.
03:50She said that some bloke in this bar paid her 350 quid for an handjob in the toilet.
03:55Oh, blimey.
03:57She said it was the easiest money she's ever made.
03:59Yeah.
04:02What if that was you?
04:04Oh.
04:06Oh, I don't think so.
04:08Do you know how you could make some money?
04:12Modelling.
04:13Oh.
04:15No, I'm serious.
04:16Glamour modelling.
04:17Maybe even topless.
04:18Oh, God, no.
04:19You're gorgeous, yeah, but you make loads of money.
04:22Oh.
04:23Seriously?
04:23I don't think I'm that desperate for money yet.
04:26Not yet, anyway.
04:29Well, the one thing I am not tonight is hard up.
04:32Take a look at this.
04:36And a big win at the casino.
04:38You're kidding.
04:39No, straight up.
04:40It's amazing. Congratulations.
04:43No, I only need someone to celebrate with.
04:46Hmm.
04:50Here we go.
04:58You'll have a little glass of bubbly with me, won't you?
05:03Uh.
05:05Sure.
05:06Ah, good girl.
05:16So this taxi driver offers you a drink and you take it?
05:21No, not immediately.
05:22You mean, the first one, this glass of champagne.
05:28I didn't want any more to drink, so...
05:30So you didn't take it?
05:31No.
05:32Good.
05:32Yeah.
05:34But then he kept on and on about me downing a shot of vodka because I said that's what
05:38we did on the lacrosse team.
05:39And, uh, I didn't want to be rude, I suppose.
05:48I mean, he just kept on and on and he was taking me home for a fiver.
05:54I mean, it's difficult to keep saying no.
05:56Okay.
05:58I suppose the conversation did get a bit sexual at times.
06:02Okay.
06:03Um, then what happened?
06:06I don't know.
06:07I don't really remember the journey home from there.
06:10I've just, um, I've got to ask you this.
06:14Like, do you think he did nothing to you?
06:20No.
06:24I mean, instinctively, I feel I would know if he'd done anything like that.
06:31I would just know.
06:33You know, physically.
06:35But, I mean, the whole thing was really weird.
06:37Like, and I never felt as ill in my life as I did when I got home last night.
06:42Yeah, he could have drunk to you.
06:44Oh, my God, don't say that.
06:46No, I don't think he drugged me.
06:48I mean, I think it's just because I downed the vodka on top of what we already had at the
06:52club.
06:53But we barely had anything.
06:56Yeah, I definitely didn't feel drunk when I left the club.
06:59And Mum did say I was completely out of it.
07:02This just isn't, it's not right.
07:05Well, I didn't feel frightened or anything.
07:07I actually thought he was sort of pathetic.
07:13Oh.
07:14Paul, that's what he said.
07:16He said his name was Paul.
07:16And he, he gave me his number.
07:22And he said if I ever needed a cab home to give him a call.
07:26Which, obviously, won't be happening.
07:29God, how weird I am.
07:41My goodness me, what on earth's the matter?
07:44Yeah, I'm so sorry.
07:46Since I was assaulted, I really struggle with people coming up behind me like that.
07:50I also struggle with situations where strangers are looking at me,
07:52so even getting the train into work can be difficult.
07:54And has the therapy helped?
07:56A little bit.
07:58You know, I get spells, but I feel more normal.
08:00But deep down, I still have issues.
08:08Oh, hello.
08:09Look, who's here?
08:10What's that?
08:12Oh, it's an nursery.
08:14It was good.
08:15Was it good?
08:15What have you been today?
08:17You know, water and plants, right?
08:18Have you been water and plants?
08:20Come on, they're going to grow nice and big now, just like you.
08:23How's work?
08:24I know, Craig.
08:26Well, then, I need some pasta.
08:28Do you want to eat before you go home?
08:29Some pasta with Daddy?
08:31Should we do that?
08:32Yeah.
08:32Yeah, that'd be nice.
08:33Yeah.
08:34My sister's going to come round as well.
08:36I'm done, dear.
08:36I said I said I'd be after eight years away.
08:38That'd be nice.
08:42Yeah, so Connor picked Jack out from nursery on the days that I'm in the office,
08:45and then I come here and take him on.
08:48That's a really good arrangement.
08:49Seems to be working all right.
08:51Yeah, it's good that Connor gets to spend some time with Jack.
08:55And how have you been?
08:57I haven't seen you in ages.
08:58Not so good.
08:59At work?
09:00Not, yeah.
09:01Not the thing that happened a while back.
09:03Right.
09:04That was such a long time ago.
09:07Yeah.
09:08Yeah, it was.
09:08Yeah, well, as much as I'd like it to.
09:10It won't go away.
09:12Really struggling at the moment.
09:14Yeah, and I think the hard thing is that we're not totally sure something happened.
09:20Aren't we?
09:22I thought it happened to me, not you.
09:23I don't mean it like that.
09:24I just mean the police aren't sure anything happened.
09:29Well, I'm just saying what they said.
09:31Fuck off, Connor.
09:31You don't swear.
09:32Let's go fuck yourself.
09:33Sarah, calm down.
09:35Oh, Jack.
09:37Say bye to your dad and Auntie Ash.
09:39Come on, I'll say bye-bye.
09:40Hey, big man.
09:41Hey.
09:42Give me hope.
09:43Come on.
09:44I'll see you soon.
09:46Come on.
09:48You're a bit sharky.
09:48No.
09:50I'm sorry.
09:51I didn't think they were...
09:51Do you know what it's like to have nobody?
09:53Not even you, believe me.
10:07No.
10:17No.
10:19No.
10:21No.
10:21No.
10:36It's okay.
10:38Mummy was upset for a second, but I'm fine now.
10:41See? Tears are all gone.
10:43They're all gone.
10:45Oh, yeah.
10:48Mummy was upset, but she's not now.
10:50See? See?
10:51No tears. No tears.
10:54What do you want to do?
10:55Should we do some dancing?
10:56Should we do some dancing?
10:58I think we should.
11:02Oh, we like this one.
11:05Oh, yeah.
11:06So I'm sure on Monday, I was hoping someday beyond you ate two better things.
11:11It's not about your makeup or how you try to shape up to these tires and baby jeans.
11:19Baby jeans.
11:25No way to follow me because we're going on and on about having a institutional work.
11:30It's very high, but it's not enough to talk.
11:32You bought this.
11:34Did you really throw off?
11:35Yeah, yeah.
11:36I always throw shit when I'm off.
11:37We bought you a vodka and lemonade.
11:42I'll risk it.
11:43Hey, cheers.
11:46What?
11:46Hey, why?
11:47Let's get or pick it up.
11:48Where were your feet all thumpin'.
11:50And the jam is rumpin'.
11:52Look ahead, the crowd is jumpin'.
11:54Pump it up.
11:54A little sport.
11:55Get the party going on the dance floor.
11:57See?
11:58Cause that's where the Roy's at and you mine at it
12:21Hey, where are you?
12:25I've been looking for you, I...
12:27No, I didn't get your text
12:32So you just went off without me
12:35Oh, thanks a lot
12:38You're free, you have to tell me
12:39I thought you was a bit sort of like to die
12:43Why did you die?
12:45Well, the car, when you were there
13:0430 grand
13:06What about that?
13:07No, that's amazing
13:10I'm really pleased for you
13:11Come on, raise a glass for me
13:14Oh, no, thank you
13:15Oh, come on
13:16No, Joe, I'm not really feeling too well
13:18Come on, have a laugh
13:21No, honestly, I'm not feeling very well
13:23Oh, I can't drink, can I, driving this?
13:26I mean, you know, you win money as big as that
13:27First thing you do is you go and get a bottle of champagne
13:30And then I think, I've got to be on the road, haven't I?
13:33You've got to have one for me
13:38Come on
13:40Just take it, what's the matter?
13:41Let me be home
13:49That's my girl
14:13I'm not letting you out until you've had that drink
14:17Better get that down, yeah
14:30Shhh, shhh, come on
14:33Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh
14:36Open, open, open, open
14:42Open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open,
14:49open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open,
14:49open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open,

14:49open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open, open
15:44Are you okay?
15:50So did you, did you forget to put a tampon in?
15:54No.
15:56No, I definitely wouldn't have taken it out without putting another one in.
16:00What the hell were you drinking last night?
16:04Not that much, I just went out with Faye and Lydia.
16:10How did you get home?
16:15I got a black cab.
16:22The taxi driver.
16:26He was, he was really weird.
16:28He pushed this tablet in my mouth.
16:42And then I don't remember anything.
16:48Except this morning, the button is ripped off my shorts and my tampon is missing.
16:57We need to speak to security.
17:07Okay, there it is.
17:08Keep it running.
17:29Okay.
17:30Okay.
17:31Okay, thank you.
17:33Okay, that was the campus manager.
17:35She thinks she should call 999.
17:43Okay.
17:49Are you sure you don't want anything?
17:52Couldn't.
18:04Are you now?
18:05Okay, here.
18:07Hey.
18:08It's okay.
18:09I don't want to get out.
18:10We're just initially going to ask you a few questions.
18:13Okay.
18:14Are you sure it was a black cab?
18:17Yeah.
18:18Yeah, not an unlicensed cab?
18:20No.
18:21The orange light on top?
18:22It was a black cab.
18:25It's on CCTV.
18:27Vivian, our campus manager, says that you can see the number plate and the driver and everything.
18:33Right.
18:33Could you have maybe taken an unlicensed cab earlier and then finished a journey in a black cab?
18:39No.
18:40I only got one cab home and it was a black cab.
18:45How much did you have to drink?
18:47Not that much.
18:50A couple of glasses of red wine when we met up at Connard Garden.
18:55Then I was sick.
18:57You were sick?
18:58From drinking?
18:59No, no.
19:01It's because I'm on my period.
19:03It happens to me a lot.
19:04So did you stop drinking then?
19:07Well, I certainly cut back.
19:09Right, but you did drink some more in the club?
19:14Yeah, yeah.
19:15I had two vodka and lemonades at the club in Hoban.
19:18My friends had these free vouchers.
19:20And then you had more to drink in the cab with the driver?
19:24That was because...
19:27That was because he...
19:30Sorry.
19:42He forced me to because he said that he'd had a win at the casino
19:51and he wanted me to help him celebrate.
19:57And he just went on.
19:59He just kept on and on and on at me.
20:05That's great.
20:07And you have no idea how you got any of these injuries?
20:10I don't remember anything at all after you forced a tablet in my mouth.
20:13And how quickly did it take effect this time then?
20:17Straight away.
20:20And do you drink every day?
20:23No.
20:25Just...
20:26Just every now and then.
20:29Did you see the video?
20:31Yes, and I saw the bridge number.
20:34So I made a note of it.
20:36What happens now?
20:38We'll report everything to CID
20:39and they'll send over an officer that's specially trained
20:41in dealing with sexual offences to interview you.
20:43When will that happen?
20:46Shouldn't be too long.
20:55Is this the girl?
20:56Yes, this one.
20:59Leila?
21:00Leila?
21:01Hi.
21:02I'm PC Stephanie Ellis.
21:04I'm a so-it officer.
21:06Which means I've had sexual offences investigation training.
21:09I'm sorry that it's so late, but I would be really grateful if I could start by taking your statement.
21:14Oh, I've actually, I've already been through all of those other officers.
21:17So, you are saying that this was a black cab driver who brought you home?
21:22Yeah.
21:24Because that would be very unusual.
21:26Well, did you see his badge number displayed?
21:32I can't, I can't remember.
21:36You see, if he did drug and assault you, as you allege, then it would be extremely unlikely for him
21:44then to drive you home.
21:45Well, he must have known that his cab would be identified on university CCTV and his identity discovered.
21:53Do you see?
22:01I'm wondering if maybe you could have taken your tampon out at the club and forgotten to put another one
22:07in.
22:07Would that be possible?
22:09No.
22:10No, I mean, I wouldn't do that.
22:14On the CCTV, at one point, it seems as though you embrace the driver.
22:21Is that what happened?
22:22And I, I don't remember doing that.
22:28Steph, they're asking how you want this designated as a crime.
22:31Just tell them not known at present.
22:33Yep.
22:35We need to take you to the local Haven Centre, where we're going to collect some samples from you, okay?
22:39Okay.
22:51Okay.
23:17Have you taken any drugs tonight?
23:20No.
23:24I've never taken any illegal drugs in my life, so if there's anything in me it's because
23:29the taxi driver gave it to me.
23:32Okay.
23:33I've got everything I need so you can get dressed and go home.
23:43Just to let you know, because quite some time has passed since now and the moment you think
23:47you were drugged, the substance you were given may not be present anymore in your blood or
23:53urine.
23:58So we'll need you to come in for an interview tomorrow, okay?
24:01Again?
24:04I've already told you everything I know, why can't you just use what I've said tonight?
24:07This procedure.
24:08Sorry.
24:09You're with DC Coldham.
24:10He's an investigating officer.
24:11I'm a liaison.
24:12How many times have I got to go through it?
24:14Come on, let's get you home, okay?
24:40Mr. Warboys.
24:41Thank you for coming in today.
24:42No problem.
24:45I heard from the cab office she wanted to talk to me, so I came in straight away.
24:52You didn't try me at home?
24:54Yeah, we did call it your home address, you weren't there.
24:57Oh, sorry.
24:59Probably out working.
25:08As you know, you've been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
25:11Before I ask you any questions, do you want to tell us anything about what happened?
25:15Well, I've got nothing to hide.
25:17Put it that way.
25:19Right, take us back to the first time you saw this young lady in the early hours of the
25:2326th.
25:27I picked her up about ten to four in the morning days.
25:32And they were, you know, she was quite drunk.
25:35I could see that.
25:38And the very first word she used, before she even sat down, was men.
25:46That was the very first word she used.
25:49And I just sort of laughed.
25:53You know?
25:55Because I don't really engage in conversations with my customers, and I am a little wary,
26:00I don't know, of picking drunk women up, I suppose, really.
26:05You know, but from that I assumed that she was in a bit of a state over her boyfriend or
26:10what on.
26:13So I'm in.
26:16Yes.
26:16Yes.
26:17I did carry on drinking after I was sick.
26:20Because it's not unusual for me to feel sick when I'm on my period.
26:25But I've...
26:26I've already told you this.
26:29Would you say it was a raucous night out of your friends?
26:32High spirits?
26:33That sort of thing?
26:36Well, we hadn't seen each other for a while.
26:38We were, you know, looking forward to catching up.
26:41Was there any form of sexual contact?
26:43There was absolutely no sexual contact whatsoever.
26:47Nothing.
26:49And it goes without saying, I never have any kind of drinks in the cab.
26:52Well, no, except maybe water.
26:54But certainly no alcohol.
26:56She said you also gave her a pill.
26:58Pill?
27:02What kind of a pill?
27:04She just said it was white.
27:05But after she took it, she doesn't really remember much else that night.
27:12Well, that's about my...
27:14No, that's ridiculous.
27:17Of course I didn't give her a pill.
27:21Oh, but hey, yes.
27:24Can you explain what's happening in this image that we picked up on CCTV?
27:32You see, she says she's got no money and she can't pay me.
27:40So I'm thinking, like, she's drunk, it's late.
27:43So I just say, you know, have this one of me, love.
27:48You let her off the fair?
27:49Yeah.
27:52So what she done was she sort of...
27:54Like, she cuddled me and she tried to kiss me.
27:59And then she says I was a lovely man.
28:02And that's what's happening there.
28:05Forgive me, but I've got to ask,
28:07because obviously we've got to investigate this matter.
28:09Is it the case that she engaged in sexual activity with you
28:12in order to pay for her affair?
28:13Not at all.
28:14But could she have been kissing you
28:15because she knew that you weren't expecting any money?
28:21Well, I know you put it that way.
28:23And did he let you off the fair?
28:25No, I paid for my fair home as I got in his cab.
28:28I paid £30.
28:31That's...
28:31That's how much he said it would be.
28:34I went to a cash point.
28:36You can check.
28:37OK.
28:38What sort of girl would you describe yourself as, Layla?
28:42I don't know what you mean.
28:44Well, you're wearing red nail varnish.
28:46Would you describe yourself as a type of girl
28:47who wears red nail varnish, you know what I mean?
28:52I don't, actually.
28:56But what on earth has my nail varnish got to do with anything?
29:00The thing is, sir,
29:02anything in his taxi is going to be contaminated now by other passengers.
29:06And given he's admitted being with her that night,
29:08I think searching his house, running clothes for identification purposes,
29:12just seems a bit pointless.
29:15Well, they're taking blood and swamps from him.
29:17Which should tell us something if you find his DNA or semen on her.
29:21Let's just wait for the results in the end, eh?
29:30Serving spoons, please.
29:32I'd better get some napkins.
29:37Ah, betcha.
29:39This terrible.
29:40OK.
29:43Not the paper napkins.
29:45The red ones that are in the drawer.
29:47What is it, Ma?
29:48I would like the red napkins, please.
29:53Yeah, the job.
29:55Leila?
29:55Yeah?
29:56Where's this behaviour coming from?
29:59What do you mean?
30:00I don't know.
30:02Go to university, I don't know what you get up to one week to the next day.
30:07Are you behaving yourself?
30:10Please.
30:11Are we really having this conversation?
30:15Seriously?
30:28She seems a bit quiet.
30:30Ah, and I tried to talk to her, but all I got back was attitude.
30:34She's probably worried about her existence.
30:46She kept flashing and rubbing her tits, but I didn't fancy her at all.
30:53Do I admit making a mistake getting into the back with her?
31:08Could say got in the back to help her find her stuff and she flashed her tits at me.
31:13She made me suck her tits.
31:15I just did it to get her out of the cab.
31:21DNA.
31:24At the end of the day, I'm the one being assaulted.
31:29Police must have faith in me and let me carry on working.
31:51Hello, love.
31:53You okay?
31:55Yeah.
31:58What did the police say?
32:00Eh?
32:01Oh, that was, er, that bloke I was telling you about.
32:05Er, asked me to deliver a package.
32:07Then the police stopped me.
32:09Turned out it was drugs.
32:11So you're in trouble?
32:13Well, no, they said it would take a couple of weeks for it to go through the system,
32:17but I ain't gonna charge me of anything.
32:19So you can still work?
32:20Still go out in your cab?
32:21Yeah, no problem.
32:28Connor's bringing Jack back to my evenings, so we've got the place to ourselves tonight.
32:33So how many times have you been home with this guy then?
32:36Er, four.
32:38Okay.
32:39So pretty serious.
32:40Yeah.
32:41I like him.
32:43Just...
32:43The thought of taking the next step with him absolutely terrifies me.
32:47And by step, I assume you mean getting nudie-roody.
32:52That is such a stupid phrase.
32:54You're such a fucking child.
32:55You wouldn't have me any other way.
33:18Look, all this sounds funny, but I don't want to overstep the mark,
33:20so I'm just gonna say it out loud.
33:24I'd really like to kiss you.
33:27Okay.
33:49Sorry.
33:50We decided to get into you.
34:03Fuck.
34:05Fuck off.
34:20Thank you for coming in.
34:23So I've called you into the station today to give you an update on the allegations you made back in
34:28July.
34:29On the...
34:3026th.
34:31The...
34:32On the 26th, yeah.
34:33Er, so...
34:34All of the DNA testing we did came back negative.
34:38So that means we didn't find any of his DNA on you or any of your DNA on him.
34:43Okay?
34:45Okay.
34:46Er, I was told the toxicology test also came back negative,
34:51so that means that we didn't detect any traces of drugs in your blood or urine.
34:56But he...
34:58He gave me something.
35:01I've never blacked out like that before.
35:03Forensics noted that you said you lost consciousness immediately after you gave the tablet.
35:09That's right, yeah.
35:10Yeah, I don't...
35:11I don't remember anything at all after that.
35:13Well, their view is that it wouldn't have taken effect immediately.
35:17In general, it takes 20 minutes, half an hour for a date rape type drug to take effect.
35:22Which is inconsistent with your account.
35:26The taxi driver, er, has no previous convictions and is a good character.
35:31I understand that the search of his house and vehicle yielded no evidence.
35:36I have to say, looking at this subjectively, it is hard to understand why a black cab driver would put
35:44his licence at risk by sexually assaulting a customer and then voluntarily attend a police station.
35:50Do you see?
35:53Check the CCTV from the nightclub you were at, er, before you got in the cab.
35:58And there's, there's no sign of you leaving the club at all that night.
36:01Neither at 2.15am when you say you left or at 3.50am when he says he picked you up.
36:06No, but that doesn't make any sense, cos I was there.
36:09Maybe you left by an exit that wasn't covered by CCTV.
36:12No, no, because there's only one way in or out.
36:15Anyway, you know, looking at all of this, taking all of the evidence into consideration,
36:19I have been informed, Layla, that the CPS, er, sorry, the Crown Prosecution Service has declined to proceed with any
36:27charges.
36:32So, you're not gonna do anything?
36:34I mean, I'm sorry, I, I know, that's not the outcome you were hoping for.
36:41So, what, what is it? You just, you just don't believe me, or?
36:46It, it, it's not a question of believing you or not believing you, Layla.
36:50It's, it's just that a decision has been made that there is insufficient evidence to proceed any further with this
36:56matter, do you see?
36:57He, he did something to me.
36:58Are you absolutely sure that you didn't get into a minicab before you got into this man's black cab, and
37:05that's where the sexual assault happened?
37:08You know, maybe, maybe, with drinking and stuff, that, that the two things have just got muddled up in your
37:13head.
37:20It's like some sort of horrible joke.
37:24That man did something to me.
37:30I know he did.
37:32I'm really sorry you feel that way.
37:34I could put you in touch with the Samaritans, though, if you thought that might be helpful.
37:41No.
37:43You've got to walk now.
37:45You've got to walk away.
37:47I'm right, are you?
37:49This one?
37:50Why, come and be quick, please.
37:53Just a few more steps.
37:54I'm very careful.
37:55That's it.
37:57Just a few more steps.
37:59That's it.
38:08Sadie?
38:11What happened?
38:12Sadie, Sadie.
38:13What's wrong?
38:23I'd like to report a rape.
38:28What's new?
38:29Accusation of a rape in West London two nights ago.
38:32Gave the woman some cock and bull story about winning a load of money in a casino and passed through
38:37a spiked drink in the back of the cab.
38:40And this is interesting.
38:41They staked out the victim's street last night and it looks like he came back to see if anything was
38:46going on.
38:46And they nabbed him.
38:48He's under arrest.
38:49It's a missile.
38:50He's a black cab driver.
38:53She's coming in to do an ID parade this afternoon.
38:58Hang on, that sounds familiar.
39:00He told her he'd had a win at a casino.
39:03Allegation of sexual assault and administering a substance with intent January 3rd 2008.
39:07I won 27 hours. You were right.
39:10This does look similar.
39:12Yeah, that's not the one I meant.
39:14That's January. The one I'm talking about was last year.
39:18Here we go.
39:20Allegation of sexual assault and administering a substance with intent committed December 21st 2007.
39:26Hang on, there's another.
39:28Allegation of sexual assault and administering a substance with intent committed October 14th 2006.
39:33That's two years ago.
39:34That's four attacks.
39:35And we have already got started on a proper search.
39:39How come this hasn't been picked up in the system before now?
39:41It's above my pay grade.
39:44Okay, so similar methodologies but no suspect in each of them except the West London one.
39:51We better get down there.
40:01She did the ID parade about an hour ago and she didn't pick him out.
40:04Not ideal but we all know it happens.
40:07Yeah, but we're hopeful we'll get a match of her DNA on him.
40:10She had scratches all over her.
40:12Did he say what he was doing by her house?
40:15Yeah, he claimed it was house hunting.
40:16Said his wife has seen a property nearby and he was checking out the area.
40:19In here.
40:22Right.
40:24This him?
40:25Yeah, he's been denying everything.
40:28I'm afraid your account just doesn't sound great.
40:31You couldn't ask my wife.
40:33She told me to go and look at the houses down there.
40:36Ask her.
40:49Yeah, I know.
40:52Yeah, I know.
41:05But...
41:06Yeah, I know.
41:06Oh, you're in luck.
41:08I lived that way.
41:11Yeah.
41:13Yeah.
41:13Yeah!
41:13Yeah, we will.
41:14Yeah!
41:17Yeah!
41:19Yeah, we would.
41:26Yeah!
41:26Yeah!
41:26Yeah.
