The family of a teenage girl found dead after saying she had been raped have accused the state of “gaslighting” them in the wake of her death.
Gaia Pope, a 19-year-old from Swanage in Dorset, was reported missing from her home in November 2017 and her body was discovered almost two weeks later in undergrowth on a nearby clifftop. A post-mortem examination came to the conclusion Pope died of hypothermia.
