CSI: IRL of the Day
A teenage rape victim from the UK says she learned how to leave behind the evidence that helped convict her attacker by watching shows like CSI.
While she was trapped in the back seat of a car, the girl ripped out some of her hair and dropped it where it wouldn’t be found by the rapist. She also left DNA evidence by spitting on the car seats, and made sure to remember the area where she was attacked so she could describe it for the police.
“It sounds silly, but I have always been a fan of CSI programs. I’ve watched so many of them, I know what to do and how things work,” the teenager told theDaily Mail.
Her attacker, 32-year-old British Army Lance Corporal Jonathan Haynes, was also convicted of two other rapes and two attempted kidnappings. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
