A brave woman who was raped by a stranger has spoken about the heartache of not being able to get justice.
Charlie says she was spiked with an injection by a man she didn't know while out in Newcastle. The 25-year-old was rushed to hospital after she says she was found having a fit in the bathroom of her home in Gosforth.
She said a doctor at the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) identified a puncture wound to her neck, following the incident. Charlie says she then had tests, which identified she had injuries consistent with having been raped.
