The father of a girl who was raped aged 13 and has been waiting two years for her case to be heard, has spoken about the devastating impact of court delays. In a moving interview with Mishal Husain, the father described the trauma of the initial attack and the subsequent court delays. It was the summer of 2020 - when Covid lockdown had been lifted enough to allow visits to parks. One afternoon, the man's daughter, who was 13 at the time, took a bus to meet some friends in a neighbouring village. When she began her journey home she was attacked in broad daylight.

Mishal also spoke to 91热爆's 91热爆 Affairs correspondent, Dominic Casciani and former Old Bailey judge Wendy Joseph QC.
