Chapter 857 Rag Doll(Incest/Taboo):>Ep109
- The police were indeed very pleased with the video; so much so, they were willing to call Michael's injuries a result of the scuffle in the alleyway, without looking too deeply into how a slight girl like Sherry could disable a hulking behemoth like Michael. Oddly enough, no one who was in the gym when Michael and I had our go-round in the ring remembered seeing him in there at all, no-one remembered a fight between him and anyone else on the date in question. In fact, the gym records showed a catalogue of sparring bouts taking place all through that evening, so no fight could possibly have happened then; the ring was constantly in use that entire evening.
- The video did show "someone" wearing a head protector, a white singlet and boxing trunks and what looked like knee-length boots (my shin armour) wading into the gang who were clearly assaulting Sherry, but no-one could positively identify him, so Michael's claim was dismissed because the police had no inclination to search our home for the 'boots' his alleged assailant had been wearing (besides, they were safely hidden in the bottom of Sam's closet back in Bailey Street Student Halls, just in case... )
- Sherry's statement to the police and the video evidence from the gym's camera system was enough to have Michael arrested, charged, and finally sent to trial. His cronies all turned Queen's Evidence to avoid more serious charges when another eleven girls came forward to report a catalogue of serious sexual assaults perpetrated by Michael and his band of buddies over the previous three years. The case made the national newspapers, and the university showed up in a pretty piss-poor light because of it, either ignoring the complaints or sweeping them under the mat and hoping they'd go away; some pretty serious reorganisation went on at the top over this whole thing.
