The script writers obviously tried to include as many of the popular misconceptions as they could, including the statistic that 'only' 6% of reported rape cases result in a conviction (not mentioning that some of the 94% will have been FA's not taken to trial) and that it's always older man/young girl. Despite the actress playing the complaintant appearing to be only a couple of years younger than the actor playing the defendant there were several not-so-subtle references to school gates and books.
Once again the episode ended with the barrister only getting her brief for her next day's case the previous evening & then not looking at it; hopefully if/when she gets silk she'll have more preparation time
