00:12I had a big win at the casino earlier, 40 grand!
00:16Oh wow!
00:17Yeah, I've been wanting to celebrate but I was wondering if you'd have a drink from me.
00:26I was raped last night.
00:28By who?
00:29By the cab driver, you must have put something in my drink.
00:32Can you tell us what he did to you?
00:33Well, no, I can't because I don't remember any of it.
00:35But I just keep thinking, if he did do something, why would he drive you to the police station?
00:39Stop saying if!
00:42Therefore, I do have to tell you that our investigation is being closed down.
00:45It just, it feels like you don't believe me.
00:47I believe something may have happened to you, but I do not believe that you were raped.
00:51The actions of the cab driver, witnessed by police, appear to be those of a responsible, law-abiding individual.
00:57I've had a great night tonight myself!
01:05Why don't you go out with Poppy then, if I'm so needy?
01:09Come on.
01:11I've just been, um...
01:17Obtuse?
01:18Obtuse.
01:20Oh, you were so good with words.
01:22Oh, a compliment.
01:23Be careful.
01:24Um...
01:26Shit.
01:28Um...
01:29It's really fucking late, and, um...
01:32I need to be up with several...
01:34Okay, it's fine.
01:35Just go.
01:36I'll, uh, I'll just sit here, being obtuse.
01:41Um...
01:41Will you, uh, leave your phone on?
01:45And call me?
01:46Okay, you're actually annoying me now.
01:47Okay.
01:53Come on.
02:05I'm...
02:11Do you know that Nadia's organisation can fall across the league?
02:12That's where Denise människor l solis reunised.
02:18So what do you imagine?
02:19Oh, no, I taste the idea my name.
02:35I can see your mother.
02:36United States preparative
03:02Can't give you a lift.
03:03Oh, it's okay.
03:05I, um...
03:07The night bus will be here soon.
03:09I don't like to see a woman out of her own late at night.
03:13Well...
03:13All I've got is, uh, my bus fare, so...
03:17Well, where are you going?
03:19East Sheen.
03:19Oh!
03:21You're in luck.
03:22I live that way.
03:23I can take you on my way home.
03:25Really?
03:26Come on, jump in.
03:28Before I change my mind.
03:29Oh, thank you.
03:30That was so kind.
03:38I saw you with a ciggy.
03:40Here, help yourself.
03:42Oh.
03:55Oh, I forgot to mention, the only thing is you can't smoke in the cab.
03:59So can you sit on the floor, then nobody can see you?
04:02Yeah.
04:03Uh, sure.
04:07It's all right.
04:23I picked up this woman the other day, right, and she said, this is true, she said that
04:28some bloke in this bar paid her 350 quid for an hand job in the toilets.
04:33Oh, blimey.
04:35She said it was the easiest money she's ever made.
04:37Yeah.
04:39What if that was you?
04:42Oh.
04:44Oh, I don't think so.
04:46Do you know how you could make some money?
04:50Modelling.
04:51Oh.
04:53Nah.
04:53I'm serious.
04:54Glamour modelling.
04:55Maybe even topless.
04:56Oh, God.
04:57No.
04:58You're gorgeous.
04:59Yeah, but you make loads of money.
05:01Oh.
05:01Seriously?
05:02I don't think I'm that desperate for money yet.
05:05Not yet, anyway.
05:08Well, the one thing I am not tonight is hard up.
05:11Take a look at this.
05:16Oh.
05:16And a big win at the casino.
05:18You're kidding.
05:18Nah, straight up.
05:19It's amazing.
05:20Congratulations.
05:22Now I only need someone to celebrate with.
05:26Mmm.
05:30Here we go.
05:38You'll have a little glass of bubbly with me, won't you?
05:43Uh.
05:45Sure.
05:47Good girl.
05:48Oh.
05:57So this taxi driver offers you a drink and you take it?
06:02No.
06:03No, not immediately.
06:04I mean, in the first one, this glass of champagne.
06:09I didn't want any more to drink, so...
06:12So you didn't take it?
06:13No.
06:14Good.
06:14Yeah.
06:16But then he kept on and on about me downing a shot of vodka, because I said that's what
06:20we did on the lacrosse team.
06:22And, uh, I didn't want to be rude, I suppose.
06:31Oh!
06:32I mean, he just kept on and on and...
06:36He was taking me home for a fiver.
06:37I mean, it's difficult to keep saying no.
06:40Okay.
06:41I suppose the conversation did get a bit sexual at times.
06:46Okay.
06:47Um, then what happened?
06:50I don't know.
06:51I don't really remember the journey home from there.
06:54Look, I've just, um...
06:56I've got to ask you this.
06:58Like, do you think he did anything to you?
07:04No.
07:08I'm...
07:09I'm...
07:09I mean, instinctively, I feel I would know if he'd done anything like that.
07:16I would just know.
07:18You know, physically.
07:20But, I mean, the whole thing was really weird.
07:23Like, and I...
07:24I've never felt as ill in my life as I did when I got home last night.
07:28Yeah, yeah, he could have...
07:29Drunked you.
07:30Oh, my God, don't say that.
07:32No, I don't think he drugged me.
07:34I mean, I think it's just because I downed the vodka on top of what we already had at the
07:38club.
07:40But we barely had anything.
07:42Yeah, I definitely didn't feel drunk when I left the club.
07:45And Mum did say I was completely out of it.
07:49This just isn't...
07:50It's not right.
07:51Well, I didn't feel frightened or anything.
07:54I actually thought he was sort of pathetic.
08:01Of...
08:01Paul.
08:02That's what he said.
08:03He said his name was Paul.
08:04And he...
08:06He gave me his number.
08:09And...
08:10He said if I ever needed a cab home to give him a call.
08:14Which, obviously, won't be happening.
08:17God, what a weirdo.
08:18Yeah.
08:30My goodness me.
08:31What on earth's the matter?
08:32Yeah, I'm so sorry.
08:35Since I was assaulted, I really struggle with people coming up behind me like that.
08:38I also struggle with situations where strangers are looking at me,
08:41so even getting the train into work can be difficult.
08:44And has the therapy helped?
08:46A little bit.
08:47You know, I get spells where I feel more normal, but...
08:51Deep down, I still have issues.
08:53Is it going back here?
08:57Yeah.
08:58Hello.
08:59Look, who's here?
09:00Moist.
09:01Oh, it's nursery.
09:04It was good.
09:05Is it good?
09:06Who did it today?
09:07You've been watering plants, right?
09:09Have you been watering plants?
09:11Come on, they've got to grow nice and big now, just like you.
09:14How was work?
09:15I know.
09:17Well, I've made some pasta.
09:19Do you want to eat before you go home?
09:20Do you want some pasta with Daddy?
09:22Should we do that?
09:23Yeah.
09:23Yeah, that'd be nice.
09:24Yeah.
09:25My sister's going to come round as well.
09:27And auntie.
09:28I forgot to see auntie after eating the rain.
09:30They'd be nice.
09:34Yeah, so Connor picked Jack out from nursery on the days that went in the office, and then they come
09:39here and take him on.
09:40That's a really good arrangement.
09:41Seems to be working all right.
09:43Yeah, it's good that Connor gets to spend some time with Jack.
09:47And how have you been?
09:49Haven't seen you in ages.
09:50Not so good.
09:52At work?
09:53No.
09:54Another thing that happened a while back.
09:56Right.
09:57That was such a long time ago.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Yeah, it was.
10:01Yeah, well, as much as I'd like it to.
10:03Won't go away.
10:05Really struggling at the moment.
10:07Yeah, and I think the hard thing is that we're not totally sure something happened.
10:14Aren't we?
10:16That's not happened to me, not you.
10:17I don't mean it like that.
10:18I just mean the police aren't sure anything happened.
10:23What?
10:24I'm just saying what they said.
10:25Fuck off, Connor.
10:26You don't swear.
10:26Let's go fuck yourself.
10:28Sarah, calm down.
10:29Hey, Jack.
10:31Say bye to your dad and Auntie Ash.
10:34Connor, say bye-bye.
10:35Hey, big man.
10:36Hey.
10:36Give me a hug.
10:37Come on.
10:38I'll see you soon.
10:41Come on.
10:42Give me a bit, Sharky.
10:43No.
10:45I'm sorry.
10:46I didn't think I'm sorry.
10:46Do you know what it's like to have nobody?
10:48Not even you.
10:49Believe me.
10:57.
10:58Come on.
11:34It's OK.
11:36Marie was upset for a second, but I'm fine now, see?
11:39Tears are all gone. They've all gone!
11:43Oh, yeah.
11:44Oh, Marie was upset.
11:47But she's not now, see?
11:49See? No tears. No tears.
11:52What do you want to do?
11:54Should we do some dancing?
11:55Should we do some dancing?
11:56It's like we should.
11:59Oh!
12:00Oh, we like this word.
12:04So at my show on Monday
12:06I was hoping someday you'd be on your way to better things
12:10It's not about your makeup
12:12Or how you try to shape her
12:13To these tiresome paper jeans
12:18Paper jeans
12:25No, why are you so boring?
12:27We're going on and on about things
12:28It's usually whatever
12:30It's really fine, but I still don't want to throw up
12:32You thought this?
12:34Did you really throw up?
12:35Yeah, yeah, I always throw shit when I'm on
12:37We've got you a vodka and lemonade
12:42Don't risk it
12:43Don't risk it
12:44Hey, cheers!
12:46Pump up the jam
12:48Pump it up
12:49Come on your feet are lumping
12:51And the jam is bumping
12:53Look at it
12:53The crowd is jumping
12:54Pump it up
12:56A little more
12:56Get the party going on the dance floor
12:59Cuz that's where the party's at
13:00And you find out it's
13:24Hey, where are you?
13:28I've been looking for you.
13:30No, I didn't get your text.
13:35So you just went off without me?
13:38Oh, thanks a lot.
13:41Excuse me, you have to really...
13:43I thought you was a bit sort of like...
13:45...mine.
13:46No, I didn't get your text.
13:48No, I didn't get your text.
13:50No, I didn't get your text.
14:16Come on.
14:17Raise a glass for me.
14:19Oh, no, thank you.
14:20Oh, come on.
14:22No, I'm not really feeling too well.
14:24Come on, have a laugh.
14:26No, honestly, I'm not feeling very well.
14:29I can't drink, can I, driving this?
14:31I mean, you know, you win money as big as that.
14:33The first thing you do is you go and get a bottle of champagne.
14:36And then I think I've got to be on the road, haven't I?
14:38I've got to be on the road, haven't I?
14:39You've got to have one for me.
14:44Come on.
14:46Just take it.
14:47What's the matter with you?
14:49If you are.
14:57Come on, girl.
15:21I'm not letting you out until you've had that drink.
15:26Better get that down, yeah.
15:39Shh.
15:40Come on.
15:42Shh.
15:43Shh.
15:45Shh.
15:46Open.
15:47Open.
15:47Open.
15:48Open.
15:49Open.
15:51Open.
15:53Open.
15:56Open.
16:12Open.
16:14Open.
16:15Open.
16:17Open.
16:18Open.
16:18Open.
16:18Open.
16:19I don't know.
16:57Are you okay?
17:03So did you...
17:04Did you forget to put a tampon in?
17:07No.
17:09Yeah, I definitely wouldn't have taken it out without putting another one in.
17:14Well, what the hell were you drinking last night?
17:18Not that much.
17:19I just went out with Faye and Lydia.
17:24How did you get home?
17:27Um...
17:30I got a black cab.
17:36A taxi driver.
17:41He was...
17:42He was really weird.
17:44He...
17:48He pushed this tablet in my mouth.
17:57And then I don't remember anything.
18:03Except this morning.
18:06The button is ripped off my shorts.
18:10And my tampon is missing.
18:13We need to speak to security.
18:24Okay, there it is.
18:25Keep it running.
18:47Okay.
18:48Okay.
18:49Okay, thank you.
18:51That was the campus manager.
18:53She thinks she should call 999.
19:01Okay.
19:08You sure you don't want anything?
19:11Couldn't.
19:23Hey, Laura.
19:25They're here.
19:27Hey.
19:28It's okay.
19:29I don't need to get out.
19:30We're just initially going to ask you a few questions.
19:33Okay.
19:34Are you sure it was a black cab?
19:37Yeah.
19:38Yeah, not an unlicensed cab?
19:40No.
19:41The orange light on top?
19:43It was a black cab.
19:46It's on CCTV.
19:48Vivian, our campus manager, says that you can...
19:50You can see the number plate and the driver and everything.
19:54All right.
19:54Could you have maybe taken an unlicensed cab earlier
19:58and then finished a journey in a black cab?
20:01No.
20:02I only got one cab home and it was a black cab.
20:07How much did you have to drink?
20:09Not that much.
20:12A couple of glasses of red wine when we met up at Comet Garden.
20:17Um...
20:17Oh, and then I was sick.
20:19You were sick?
20:20From drinking?
20:22No, no.
20:22It's...
20:24It's cos I'm...
20:24I'm on my period.
20:26It happens to me a lot.
20:27So did you stop drinking then?
20:30Well, I certainly cut back.
20:32Right, but you did drink some more in the club?
20:37Yeah, yeah.
20:38I had two vodka and lemonades at the club in Hoban.
20:41My friends had these, um, free vouchers.
20:44And then you had more to drink in the cab with the driver?
20:48That was because...
20:50That was because he...
20:53Sorry.
20:55Sorry.
21:05He, um...
21:07He forced me to because he, um...
21:11He said that he'd had a win at the casino and that he...
21:17He wanted me to help him celebrate.
21:21And...
21:22And he just went on.
21:24He just kept on and on and on at me.
21:30So...
21:31That's great.
21:33Ryan, you have no idea how you got any of these injuries?
21:36I don't remember anything at all after you forced a tablet in my mouth.
21:39And how quickly did it take effect, this, uh, this tablet?
21:43Straight away.
21:46And do you drink every day?
21:49No.
21:52Just...
21:53Just every now and then.
21:56Did you see the video?
21:58Yes, and I saw the Ridge number.
22:01So I made a note of it.
22:04What...
22:04What happens now?
22:05We'll report everything to CID
22:06and they'll send over an officer that's specially trained in dealing with sexual offences
22:10to interview you.
22:11When will...
22:12When will that happen?
22:14It shouldn't be too long.
22:23Is...
22:24Is this the girl?
22:25Yes, this one.
22:27Layla?
22:29Layla?
22:30Hi.
22:31I'm...
22:31I'm PC Stephanie Ellis.
22:33I'm a Soviet officer.
22:35Which means I've had sexual offences investigation training.
22:38I'm sorry that it's so late,
22:40but I would be really grateful if I could start by taking your statement.
22:43I've actually...
22:44I've already been through it before with those other officers.
22:47So, you are saying that this was a black cab driver who brought you home?
22:51Yeah.
22:54Because that...
22:54That would be very unusual.
22:55Did you see his badge number displayed?
23:03I can't remember.
23:06You see, if he...
23:07If he did drug and assault you, as you allege,
23:13then it would be extremely unlikely for him then to drive you home.
23:16Well, he must have known that his cab would be identified on university CCTV and his identity discovered.
23:24Do you see?
23:33I'm wondering if maybe you could have taken your tampon out at the club and forgotten to put another one
23:39in.
23:39Could that be possible?
23:41No.
23:42No.
23:43No, I mean...
23:44I wouldn't do that.
23:47On the...
23:48On the CCTV, at one point, it seems as though you embrace the driver.
23:53Is that...
23:54Is that what happened?
23:56I...
23:56I don't remember doing that.
24:01Steph, they're asking how you want this designated as a crime.
24:04Just tell them not known at present.
24:07Yep.
24:08We need to take you to the local Haven Centre, where we're going to collect some samples from you, okay?
24:13Okay.
24:25Okay.
24:26Okay.
24:29Okay.
24:35Okay.
24:38Okay.
24:53Have you taken any drugs tonight?
24:55No.
24:59It...
25:00I've never taken any illegal drugs in my life,
25:03so if there's anything in me,
25:05it's because the taxi driver gave it to me.
25:08Okay.
25:09I've got everything I need so you can get rest and go home.
25:19Just to let you know,
25:21because quite some time has passed since now
25:24and the moment you think you were drugged,
25:26the substance you were given may not be present anymore
25:29in your blood or urine.
25:36So we'll need you to come in for an interview tomorrow, okay?
25:39Again.
25:41I've already told you everything I know.
25:43Why can't you just use what I've said tonight?
25:45This procedure.
25:46Sorry.
25:46You're with DC Coldham.
25:48He's an investigating officer.
25:49I'm a liaison.
25:50How many times have I got to go through it?
25:53Come on, let's get you home, okay?
26:20Mr. Walvois, thank you for coming in today.
26:22No problem.
26:25I heard from the cab office she wanted to talk to me,
26:28so I came in straight away.
26:32You didn't try me at home?
26:34Yeah, we did call it your home, Jess.
26:36You weren't there.
26:37Oh, sorry.
26:39Probably out working.
26:49As you know, you've been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
26:52Before I ask you any questions,
26:53do you want to tell us anything about what happened?
26:56Well, I've got nothing to hide.
26:58Put it that way.
27:01Right, take us back to the first time you saw this young lady
27:03in the early hours of the 26th.
27:08I picked her up about ten to four in the morning days,
27:14and she was quite drunk.
27:17I could see that.
27:20And the very first word she used before she even sat down
27:26was men.
27:29That was the very first word she used.
27:33And I just sort of laughed.
27:36You know?
27:38Because I don't really engage in conversations with my customers,
27:41and I am a little wary, I don't know,
27:45of picking drunk women up, I suppose, really.
27:48You know, but from that,
27:50I assume that she was in a bit of a state over her boyfriend,
27:54or something.
28:00Yes, yes.
28:02I did carry on drinking after I was sick.
28:05Because it's not unusual for me to feel sick
28:07when I'm on my period.
28:10I've already told you this.
28:14Would you say it was a raucous night
28:16out of your friends?
28:18High spirits, that sort of thing?
28:21Well, we hadn't seen each other for a while.
28:23We were, you know, looking forward to catching up.
28:27Was there any form of sexual contact?
28:29There was absolutely no sexual contact whatsoever.
28:33Nothing.
28:35And it goes without saying,
28:36I never have any kind of drinks in the cab,
28:38except maybe water.
28:40But certainly no alcohol.
28:42She said you also gave her a pill.
28:45Pill?
28:49What kind of a pill?
28:50She just said it was white,
28:52but that after she took it,
28:53she doesn't really remember much else that night.
28:55Oh!
28:59Well, that's...
29:02No, no, that's ridiculous.
29:05Of course I didn't give her a pill.
29:08I don't believe this.
29:12Can you explain what's happening in this image
29:14that we picked up on CCTV?
29:21You see,
29:23she says
29:24she's got no money
29:25and she can't pay me.
29:29So I'm thinking,
29:30like, she's drunk,
29:31it's late.
29:32So I just say,
29:34you know,
29:35have this one of me, love.
29:37You let her off the fair?
29:38Yeah.
29:41So what she done was,
29:42she sort of,
29:43like, she cuddled me
29:45and she tried to kiss me
29:48and then she says
29:49I was a lovely man.
29:52And that's what's happening there.
29:55Forgive me,
29:56but I've got to ask
29:56because obviously
29:57we've got to investigate this matter.
29:59Is it the case
30:00that she engaged
30:01in sexual activity with you
30:02in order to pay for her affair?
30:03No at all.
30:04But could she have been kissing you
30:06because she knew
30:06that you weren't expecting any money?
30:12Well, no,
30:12you put it that way.
30:14And did he let you off the fair?
30:16No,
30:16I paid for my fair home
30:18as I got in his cab.
30:19I paid £30.
30:22That's,
30:23that's how much
30:23he said it would be.
30:25I went to a cash point.
30:27You can check.
30:29OK.
30:30What sort of girl
30:31would you describe yourself as,
30:32Leila?
30:34I don't know
30:34what you mean.
30:35Well,
30:36you're wearing red nail varnish.
30:37Would you describe yourself
30:38as a type of girl
30:39who wears red nail varnish
30:40if you know one thing?
30:45I don't,
30:45actually.
30:48What on earth
30:49has my nail varnish
30:50got to do with anything?
30:53Thing is,
30:55anything in his taxi
30:56is going to be contaminated
30:56now by other passengers.
30:59And given he's admitted
31:00being with her that night,
31:01I think searching his house,
31:02running clothes
31:04for identification,
31:04perhaps is just things
31:06a bit pointless.
31:08Well, we're taking blood
31:09and swabs from him,
31:11which should tell us something
31:12if you find his DNA
31:13or semen on her.
31:15Let's just wait for the results
31:16on them, eh?
31:24Serving spoons, please.
31:26I'd better get some napkins.
31:31Ah,
31:32but yeah.
31:34This is terrible.
31:35OK.
31:38Not the paper napkins,
31:39the red ones
31:40that are in the drawer.
31:42What does it matter?
31:43I would like
31:44the red napkins,
31:45please.
31:47You.
31:48Yeah,
31:49I'd better get the job.
31:50Leila?
31:51Yeah?
31:52Where's this behaviour
31:53coming from?
31:54What do you mean?
31:56I don't know.
31:57Go to university,
31:59I don't know what you get up to,
32:00one week to the next.
32:02Are you behaving yourself?
32:05Oh, please.
32:07Are we really
32:08having this conversation?
32:11Seriously?
32:24That's really good.
32:25She seems a bit quiet.
32:28Oh,
32:28I tried to talk to her,
32:29but
32:29all I got back
32:30was attitude.
32:31She's probably
32:32worried about her
32:33and sometimes.
32:34I don't know.
32:43She kept flashing
32:45and rubbing her tits,
32:46but I didn't fancy her at all.
32:51Do I admit
32:52making a mistake
32:53getting into the back
32:54with her?
33:07Could say
33:08got in the back
33:08to help her find her stuff
33:10and she flashed
33:11her tits at me.
33:13She made me suck her tits.
33:15I just did it
33:16to get her out of the cab.
33:20DNA.
33:24At the end of the day,
33:25I'm the one
33:26being assaulted.
33:29Police must have faith in me
33:30and let me carry on working.
33:52Oh, love.
33:54You OK?
33:56Yeah.
33:59What did the police say?
34:02Eh?
34:02Oh,
34:03that was, uh,
34:05that bloke
34:05I was telling you about.
34:07Uh,
34:07asked me to deliver
34:08a package
34:09and then the police
34:10stopped me.
34:11Turned out
34:12it was drugs.
34:13So,
34:13you're in trouble?
34:15Well,
34:16no,
34:16they said it would take
34:17a couple of weeks
34:17for it to go through
34:18the system,
34:19but
34:20I ain't gonna charge me
34:21of anything.
34:22So you can still work?
34:23Still go out in your cab?
34:24Yeah,
34:24no problem.
34:25Mm-mm.
34:31Connor's bringing Jack
34:32back tomorrow evening,
34:33so we've got the place
34:34to ourselves tonight.
34:36So how many times
34:37you've been out
34:37with this guy then?
34:39Uh,
34:40four?
34:41Mm-hmm.
34:42OK.
34:42So pretty serious.
34:44Yeah,
34:44I like him.
34:45It's just...
34:47The thought of taking
34:48the next step with him
34:49absolutely terrifies me.
34:51And by step,
34:52I assume you mean
34:54getting nudie-roody.
34:56That is such
34:57a stupid phrase.
34:58You're such a fucking child.
35:00You wouldn't have me
35:00any other way.
35:23Look, I know this sounds funny,
35:24but I don't want to overstep the mark,
35:26so I'm just gonna
35:27say it out loud.
35:30I'd really like to kiss you.
35:32OK.
35:35OK.
35:56Sorry.
35:57We decided to do.
35:58Oh, my God.
36:11Fuck.
36:13Fuck.
36:14Fuck me.
36:29Thank you for coming in.
36:31So, I've called you into the station today to give you an update
36:35on the allegations you made back in July.
36:38On the...
36:3926th.
36:40The... on the 26th, yeah.
36:42So, all of the DNA testing we did came back negative.
36:48So that means we didn't find any of his DNA on you
36:50or any of your DNA on him.
36:52OK?
36:54OK.
36:56Er, I was told the toxicology test also came back negative,
37:01so that means that we didn't detect any traces of drugs
37:04in your blood or urine.
37:06But he...
37:08He gave me something.
37:12I've never backed out like that before.
37:14Forensics noted that you said you lost consciousness
37:17immediately after he gave you the tablet.
37:20That's right, yeah.
37:21Yeah, I don't...
37:22I don't remember anything at all after that.
37:24Well, their view is that it wouldn't have taken effect immediately.
37:28In general, it takes 20 minutes, half an hour,
37:31for a date rape type drug to take effect,
37:34which is inconsistent with your account.
37:38The taxi driver has no previous convictions
37:41and is of good character.
37:43But, er, I understand that the search of his house and vehicle yielded no evidence.
37:48I have to say, looking at this objectively,
37:52it is hard to understand why a black cab driver would put his licence at risk
37:58by sexually assaulting a customer
38:00and then voluntarily attend a police station.
38:03Do you see?
38:06I checked the CCTV from the nightclub you were at, er, before you got in the cab.
38:11And there's no sign of you leaving the club at all that night,
38:15either at 2.15am when you say you left
38:17or at 3.50am when he says he picked you up.
38:20No, but that doesn't make any sense cos I was there.
38:23Maybe you left by an exit that wasn't covered by CCTV.
38:26No, no, because there's only one way in or out.
38:29Anyway, you know, looking at all of this,
38:31taking all of the evidence into consideration,
38:34I have been informed, Layla, that the CPS, er, sorry,
38:38the Crown Prosecution Service has declined to proceed with any charges.
38:47So, you're not gonna do anything?
38:49I'm sorry, I know that's not the outcome you were hoping for.
38:57So, what is it? You just... you just don't believe me, or...?
39:02It's not a question of believing you or not believing you, Layla.
39:07It's just that a decision has been made that there is insufficient evidence
39:10to proceed any further with this matter, do you see?
39:13He... he did something to me.
39:15Are you absolutely sure that you didn't get into a minicab
39:19before you got into this man's black cab,
39:21and that's where the sexual assault happened?
39:24Now, maybe... maybe with drinking and stuff,
39:28that the two things have just gotten muddled up in your head?
39:37This... this is like some sort of horrible joke.
39:41That man did something to me.
39:48I know he did.
39:50I'm really sorry you feel that way.
39:52I could put you in touch with the Samaritans, though,
39:55if you thought that might be helpful.
39:59No.
40:02You've got to walk now. You've got to walk with me.
40:06I'm brave, are you?
40:08This one?
40:09Why, come with me.
40:10Wait for me.
40:12Just a few more steps. Look, I'm very careful.
40:15That's it.
40:16Just a few more steps.
40:19That's it.
40:20Who?
40:21Who?
40:23Who?
40:24Who?
40:28Sadie?
40:30Oh, my God.
40:31What happened?
40:33Sadie? Sadie?
40:34What's wrong?
40:44I'd like to report a rape.
40:49What's new?
40:50Accusation of a rape in West London two nights ago.
40:53Gave the woman some cock and bull story about winning a load of money in a casino
40:57and passed through a spiked drink in the back of the cab.
41:01And this is interesting.
41:02They staked out the victim's street last night, and it looks like he came back to see if anything was
41:07going on.
41:08And they nabbed him.
41:09He's under arrest.
41:11As a result.
41:13He's a black cab driver.
41:15She's coming in to do an ID for her this afternoon.
41:20Hang on, that sounds familiar.
41:23He told her he'd had a win at a casino.
41:26Allegation of sexual assault and administering a substance with intent January 3rd 2008.
41:30I won 27 hours.
41:32You were right.
41:33This does look similar.
41:35Yeah, but that's not the one I meant.
41:37That's January.
41:38The one I'm talking about was last year.
41:41Here we go.
41:43Allegation of sexual assault and administering a substance with intent committed December 21st 2007.
41:50Hang on, there's another.
41:52Allegation of sexual assault and of administering a substance with intent committed October 14th 2006.
41:57That's two years ago.
41:59That's four attacks.
42:00And we haven't really got started on a proper search.
42:03How come this hasn't been picked up in the system before now?
42:06Above my pay grade.
42:09Okay, so I have similar methodologies, but no suspect in each of them except the West London one.
42:16We better get down there.
42:27Okay.
42:27She did the ID parade about an hour ago and she didn't pick him out.
42:30Yeah, not ideal, but we all know it happens.
42:33Yeah, but we're hopeful we'll get a match of her DNA on him.
42:36She had scratches all over her.
42:39Did he say what he was doing by her house?
42:41Yeah, he claimed it was house hunting.
42:42Said his wife has seen a property nearby and he was checking out the area.
42:45Yeah.
42:46In here.
42:48Right.
42:51This him?
42:52Yeah.
42:53He's been denying everything.
42:55I'm afraid your account just doesn't sound incredible.
42:58You could ask my wife.
43:00She told me to go and have a look at the houses around there.
43:03Ask her.
43:16Yeah.
43:16Oh, yeah, I know.
43:20But it's just, you know.
43:22Yeah, I know.
43:26I know.
43:28But it's just a hard one.
43:29I know.
43:30Yeah, I know.
43:31But it's just...
43:34Where are you going?
43:35Catford?
43:35Oh, you're in luck, I lived that way.
44:04Come on!
44:11Be alone.
