If you’re interested in this episode, you may also be interested in ‘Rape trials - a victim’s view’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002tn4y The Crown Office has admitted in court that it was an ‘error of judgement’ not to prosecute the footballer David Goodwillie for rape back in 2011. In 2017, a civil court found Goodwillie and his teammate David Robertson to be rapists and liars. The woman who accused them – Denise Clair – is now seeking a private prosecution in a criminal court. Martin Geissler speaks to Sunday Post journalist Marion Scott about the case. Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast. Get in touch: scotcast@bbc.co.uk
