Justice - 11 years on

BBC Radio Lancashire's Chris Rider speaks to the Witton Park rape victim, as her attacker is sentenced following an investigation that lasted 11 years...

Apart from an interview for the BBC's Crimewatch UK programme she has never spoken about that fateful day.

Have Your Say

Mark Dean
I only found out this horrific news after a visit on Fri 9th Feb 2007 to an old employeer of mine. Having worked with Darbyshire during 1994- 2003 i was not suprised this sick perverted man committed such an act. I can only feel sorrow yet relief for this innocent young girl.My faith in our Police has now been restored.
