Cold Case Investigators - Solving Britain's Sex Crimes on iPlayer
Cops investigating historical sex crimes. Some very graphic accounts featured, particularly the second episode.
A big salute to all the brave victims for featuring on these type of programmes
Just demonstrates how much probably has slipped the net over the years.Cops investigating historical sex crimes. Some very graphic accounts featured, particularly the second episode.

That horrible bloke who moved to Brighton has lived Scot free for 40 years, and googling he was a Naval Officer, I shake my head https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-h...
I always think bitter sweet, thanks to DNA, justice is done, but
the scumbag is in his 60s and has had decades of freedom.
Also respectalations to the diligent coppers back in 1983, who carefully ensured the swab evidence was
properly stored so a single sperm thingy could give a positive DNA profile, brilliant.
Good that Andy is receiving counselling, this investigation has been an ordeal for him.
Can i grump about the terrible camerawork, just f
king awful, I know it's the latest film school ultra cine verite style , steadicams and autofocus being so passe, but having the person who is speaking
in frame AND in focus, is not much to ask.

Good program, though.
The Lithuanian in the woods - I cannot remember if there was any momentum at the time but having re-watched it again last week I just don't buy the end of the story
When they found him (*and I accept that was at his hide*) he was clean shaven and had trimmed hair and he actually looked smart. If I was living in the woods my clothes would be crumpled and despite my best efforts they would have mud or other stains just from lying in the shed. The clothes were also in good condition and did not look like ones scavenged from a clothing bank
It is possible he found a 'phone but where was it topped up? More importantly no one finds a 'phone with it's charger and where did he plug it in?
I absolutely believe that he was bullied and attacked I just think he had over the years arranged a support network including somewhere to live and it may have suited all sides *including the police* to portray his discovery as shown but he was not living there 24/7

In the second episode, the man posing as a taxi driver to commit rape was (thankfully) very poorly advised by his solicitor, or very arrogant. He should have said no comment until he knew the strength of evidence against him as is common in these programmes, instead he said he had never met the victim and never had sex outside marriage. That fell apart once the DNA evidence was disclosed, and he made a very tenuous attempt to backtrack.

I agree, he was in full on fight mode, the solicitor looked like he was doodling knowing he was effectively lining up his own sentencing.In the second episode, the man posing as a taxi driver to commit rape was (thankfully) very poorly advised by his solicitor, or very arrogant.

I particularly liked the taxi driver's assertion that the photofit of somebody with mid-length hair couldn't possibly be him, as he always had his own hair either really long or really short. What a genius.

One on Channel 5 the the other day, The Intruder: He's watching you from within. The story of "The Fox" from 1984.
It went on a bit and seemed to have an ad break every five minutes but it was pretty good. I had never heard of this case.
He's due for parole this year, hopefully he gets turned down. He was given six life sentences, so to me that should mean he is never out in public again.
Looks like he died in prison couple of days ago, so sounds like a result. It went on a bit and seemed to have an ad break every five minutes but it was pretty good. I had never heard of this case.
