What? 243 00:13:48,541 --> 00:13:51,341 I suspect that they think he'll be so undermining to their case 244 00:13:51,341 --> 00:13:53,141 that they want to keep him away at all costs. 245 00:13:53,141 --> 00:13:55,701 Now, the problem is, if we call him, 246 00:13:55,701 --> 00:13:57,261 we won't be able to cross-examine him 247 00:13:57,261 --> 00:14:00,701 because, in cases like this, that's the rule. 248 00:14:00,701 --> 00:14:03,021 So, he won't have to give an account of himself in court?

253 00:14:27,621 --> 00:14:31,021 The CCTV footage of her falling over at the campus 254 00:14:31,021 --> 00:14:33,901 was entirely consistent with the actions of someone 255 00:14:33,901 --> 00:14:36,221 who had had too much to drink that night. 256 00:14:36,221 --> 00:14:38,821 I thought the whole thing was odd. 257 00:14:39,861 --> 00:14:42,381 I thought it was odd that an educated girl 258 00:14:42,381 --> 00:14:45,941 would accept a drink from a stranger in those circumstances. 259 00:14:45,941 --> 00:14:48,981 DSD told us she had taken some cocaine with her friends, 260 00:14:48,981 --> 00:14:51,901 and this showed up subsequently in her blood tests. 261 00:14:51,901 --> 00:14:55,181 Had she also drunk alcohol that evening 262 00:14:55,181 --> 00:14:57,021 before getting into Worboys' cab? 263 00:14:57,021 --> 00:14:59,621 Well, her friends told us they put her into the cab 264 00:14:59,621 --> 00:15:01,621 after their night out because she was so out of it. 265 00:15:03,981 --> 00:15:07,261 My conclusion was that DSD had not sustained 266 00:15:07,261 --> 00:15:10,421 any specific psychiatric injury as a consequence of the rape. 267 00:15:11,501 --> 00:15:14,181 She had, however, suffered a depressive episode 268 00:15:14,181 --> 00:15:16,741 as a consequence of how she had been dealt with by the police. 269 00:15:18,301 --> 00:15:21,261 Well, following the assault, NBV developed symptoms 270 00:15:21,261 --> 00:15:25,421 of post-traumatic stress disorder, including nightmares, 271 00:15:25,421 --> 00:15:27,821 intrusive imagery, flashbacks, 272 00:15:27,821 --> 00:15:30,941 avoidance, anxiety and depression, 273 00:15:30,941 --> 00:15:34,181 poor concentration and social withdrawal. 274 00:15:34,181 --> 00:15:37,381 She still suffers from moderate to severe symptoms. 275 00:15:37,381 --> 00:15:41,861 She can be tearful and experiences mood swings. 276 00:15:41,861 --> 00:15:45,901 And she suffers from continuing sexual aversion 277 00:15:45,901 --> 00:15:48,101 and a lack of sexual enjoyment. 278 00:15:55,181 --> 00:15:57,741 Are you aware, Inspector Underwood, 279 00:15:57,741 --> 00:16:01,301 of a guide which outlines the Met's standard operating procedures 280 00:16:01,301 --> 00:16:05,821 for investigative techniques in rape and sexual assault cases? 281 00:16:07,061 --> 00:16:08,341 I am aware of it, yes. 282 00:16:08,341 --> 00:16:12,101 It lays out detailed steps and considerations to be followed, 283 00:16:12,101 --> 00:16:17,341 from a starting point of treating the victim's account as truthful, 284 00:16:17,341 --> 00:16:18,421 does it not? 285 00:16:19,701 --> 00:16:20,741 I don't know. 286 00:16:22,781 --> 00:16:23,981 Why not, may I ask? 287 00:16:23,981 --> 00:16:26,101 I just can't recall it in any detail. 288 00:16:26,101 --> 00:16:30,141 As a member of one of the Met's Sapphire teams, 289 00:16:30,141 --> 00:16:34,381 which are specialist rape and sexual assault investigation units, 290 00:16:34,381 --> 00:16:37,821 I find that quite an extraordinary thing for you to say. 291 00:16:37,821 --> 00:16:40,861 Well, in my opinion, it's not something I consider practical 292 00:16:40,861 --> 00:16:42,901 to apply to each and every case. 293 00:16:43,941 --> 00:16:44,981 To this case? 294 00:16:46,301 --> 00:16:49,941 I think these policies are fine in theory... 295 00:16:49,941 --> 00:16:53,581 but they're not always applicable to day-to-day policing. 296 00:16:53,581 --> 00:16:56,261 Then why have they been set out by the Met as their guidelines? 297 00:16:58,821 --> 00:17:02,221 I think they have been created purely 298 00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:04,661 to protect the police from legal challenges. 299 00:17:05,901 --> 00:17:08,860 If a case is not classified as a serious sexual assault, 300 00:17:08,860 --> 00:17:11,340 then details of the investigation are not entered 301 00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:14,061 into the Criminal Intelligence Computer Database, are they? 302 00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:20,741 No. Meaning no closing report would need to be done, would it? 303 00:17:20,741 --> 00:17:22,781 No. Is that a good thing? 304 00:17:22,781 --> 00:17:24,261 Honestly? 305 00:17:24,261 --> 00:17:27,140 An opportunity to not have to do one would be taken gladly. 306 00:17:28,741 --> 00:17:32,461 Was there a drive from your superiors at Borough Management 307 00:17:32,461 --> 00:17:35,541 to disprove allegations of rape and sexual assault? 308 00:17:38,021 --> 00:17:40,581 Yes. Why was that? 309 00:17:40,581 --> 00:17:43,341 Because if an allegation can be legally disproved, 310 00:17:43,341 --> 00:17:45,341 then it would improve detection rates. 311 00:17:45,341 --> 00:17:47,701 So junior officers were effectively encouraged 312 00:17:47,701 --> 00:17:50,261 not to pursue allegations of rape and sexual assault 313 00:17:50,261 --> 00:17:53,301 and instead to focus on other crimes such as burglary, 314 00:17:53,301 --> 00:17:55,621 which were easier to clear up. Is that right? 315 00:17:57,701 --> 00:17:58,861 Broadly speaking, yes. 316 00:17:59,981 --> 00:18:04,461 Coming now, DC Coldham, specifically to the case NBV. 317 00:18:04,461 --> 00:18:06,261 Even though her case bore all the hallmarks 318 00:18:06,261 --> 00:18:08,101 of a drug-facilitated sexual assault, 319 00:18:08,101 --> 00:18:10,381 she was not treated as such, was she? 320 00:18:10,381 --> 00:18:12,181 Personally, I believed her account. 321 00:18:12,181 --> 00:18:15,221 But I knew there was no prospect of the case being reopened 322 00:18:15,221 --> 00:18:17,781 once the forensic and toxicology results had come back 323 00:18:17,781 --> 00:18:18,981 as inconclusive. 324 00:18:18,981 --> 00:18:21,621 Even though there were still many important leads 325 00:18:21,621 --> 00:18:22,741 still to be followed up? 326 00:18:22,741 --> 00:18:25,941 Yes. So, under pressure from on high, 327 00:18:25,941 --> 00:18:29,061 her case was not recorded as a serious sexual assault, 328 00:18:29,061 --> 00:18:31,861 supervision from more senior officers did not occur, 329 00:18:31,861 --> 00:18:35,141 and her case was not entered into the data bases? 330 00:18:35,141 --> 00:18:36,221 No. 331 00:18:36,221 --> 00:18:38,941 And the case was cleared up in three months. 332 00:18:38,941 --> 00:18:40,301 No case closure report, 333 00:18:40,301 --> 00:18:42,581 no detailed report entered into the system. 334 00:18:42,581 --> 00:18:45,581 And the Borough's clear-up rate was thereby improved 335 00:18:45,581 --> 00:18:48,421 since the case was not left as unsolved. 336 00:18:50,021 --> 00:18:52,901 Like I say, that... that was the situation at the time. 337 00:19:03,541 --> 00:19:07,141 Thanks.
