Frank. Nine. Frank. [MUSIC PLAYING] Tortoise investigates.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, Clay. And you hear me? I can hear you. What happened?
We've got a verdict.
“It took 6,000, 29 minutes of deliberation.”
Right.
They didn't reach a unanimous verdict.
They reached a majority verdict, a tentative. OK. And you've just found this out. I've just walked out of court room for a while right now, and it stepped aside to call you.
OK. And what was a majority verdict? Saliano is guilty of all seven counts. OK. She's guilty of all seven counts of indecent assault
on a child under the age of 16, all seven counts. Both Gareth and Sanjay. Does Gareth know yet?
I texted him, and he just replied, yes, with lots of S's,
and then said, tell me again. And so it's all to me again, guilty. He's obviously incredibly relieved. But I'm going to call him soon. OK.
Sanjay and Bowen was asked to stand by the judge, and she was told that as a result of these verdicts, she is now going to be put on the sex offenders register. She needs to go straight to the probation service, where she'll be interviewed and probation will recommend
the sentence. The judge said the fact that he was releasing her on bail was no indication of what her sentence would be, and that all options remain open, including a custodial sentence. Really? She showed no emotion.
It was quite, I felt emotional, and she just showed nothing. Nothing. Her face was absolutely blank. I think it's worth going back to the start of this. And the reason that Gareth got in touch with her
was because he wanted some form of justice, and it's been her. It's been a mad, emotional rollercoaster for him. The reason that he first got in touch with me was because he felt that he was being gasinted the years,
because he knew what happened between him and Sally Ann Bowen.
“And that's why he came to me in the first place,”
because he wasn't getting traction with a legal case. And so my investigation ended up throwing up brush witnesses, another alleged victim, and a key witness that was used by the prosecution. And that was ended up with this guilty verdict,
which for him, I think, will be an incredible relief.
That finally, his truth has been proven, but he's been vindicated. This really did happen. Sally Ann Bowen really did have sex with him when he was 14 years old.
- And just to put that in perspective, he's now in his 50s. - He's now 53 years old, but in the end, it looks like Giri Trolls really do work, especially because during the process of this trial,
with all the media retention it's got, new people have come forward.
“And that's what you want to look into now.”
- That's where my investigation is going next. I'll go after him. - Okay, hello, it's Giri here. Well, Chloe and me work on a new episode of Luckyboy, you can listen to the original series,
here in the Torque Toys Investigate's feet. Episode one is available for everyone to listen to, and to get the full series, you can become a subscriber to the observer, wherever you're listening to this.
