A schoolgirl who was sexually assaulted by a 17 year old woman pretending to be a boy says she's been bullied online since waiving her anonymity to tell her story. Jessica Sayers was 15 when she started going out with a boy called Luke Jones who she met on facebook. That relationship ended after 4 months and she met another teenager called Connor Mccormack. She went out with him for seven months but reported "him" to the police after he sexually assaulted her. Eventually police discovered that not only were the two boys the same person but that they were in fact a woman - Gemma Barker who was 17 at the time.

Also the police service could be facing some of the biggest changes to pay and recruitment for a generation. An independent review was commissioned by the Home Secretary and recommends changes in recruitment, pay and also suggests an annual fitness test for serving officers.
