Here and Now: Silent Witness?

on BBC One London

Continuing the current-affairs series presented by Juliet Morris.

Last year, the Crown Prosecution Service took to court the case of Mary Nevin, who has multiple sclerosis, who claimed she had been sexually abused. But the judge dismissed the case ruling that because of her problems in communicating she was not a competent witness. Tonight Chris Choi reports that each year an estimated 1,500 people with physical or learning disabilities claim to have suffered sexual abuse but rarely get their day in court.
