I emailed Ms. Parella weeks ago when she sent out a press release promising there would be an investigation into the allegations on the cover-up and violent episode involving locking a rape victim away in a janitor closet.

I advised her and the Bristol City Council that I was happy to produce all the documentation needed on this case to show it was more than simple hearsay.

No one responded to my offer.

I don't know how a complete investigation could be done without speaking to the survivor or reading the extensive documentation on this case.

This article appears to imply it is the writers point of view Ms Bertzikis fabricated all or parts or her story. I thought we were getting past the myth that victims of rape and violence lie. It is those who attempt to cover up rape and violence that tell lies.
