Traumatised by a sex attack in a park, a teenage girl was at least comforted by the likelihood the man would be identified by DNA.
Priya Francome-Wood, 17, had kicked and struggled free after he lay on top of her. Police said they were in no doubt she had managed to escape a serious sex attack.
But five days later Miss Francome-Wood's hopes were shattered by a phone call from police in Bournemouth, where she was attacked during a weekend visit to a friend. To her horror, they said they could not justify spending £500 on DNA testing. The reason given was that she had fought him of and the attack was unsuccessful.
This on the same day that The Government earmark £200 million pounds for surveillance to be increased, this money predominately for phone tapping and internet monitoring, ironically we are one of the few Countries in the world where phone tap evidence is in admissible in court.
The £200million-a-year sum will give officials access to details of every internet click made by every citizen - on top of the email and telephone records already available.
State bodies including councils are already making one request every minute to spy on the phone records and email accounts of members of the public.
I will file this under the you cant make it up category, that file is so big now its barely manageable.
