Eleven Months Of HellA man maliciously accused of a rape he didn't commit is calling for a change in the law after speaking out about what he describes as the worst 11 months of his life.As part of his bail conditions Terry wasn't allowed to visit his home town and missed family birthdays and a funeral.
He also lost the tenancy on his house and was forced to live in a hostel in Middlesbrough for five months. In an attempt to deal with his ordeal he turned to alcohol and sleeping pills.... 'The police just kept saying over and over 'you've done it, you've done it, we don't believe you'. I was being told I was guilty that much that I began to feel guilty.
'There wasn't one shred of evidence, there was no truth in it whatsoever, I just kept wondering how it got so far. I feel like I was used as a media tool because the police want to convict more rapists.
