Frank being punished in another way simply is <b>not</b> good enough! He should have gone down.

When dealing with such a sensitive issue as rape and giving the amount of research that has obviously been done for this storyline Frank HAS to be sent down for his crimes, otherwise it's sending the wrong message out to alot of victims.

But I feel it went to the wrong characters and, yes, I know, it would entirely change the plot of the sinister man duping everyone into thinking he's a good guy, much like Richard Hillman did.

In real life I very much doubt Carla would get a conviction as Frank is an amazing liar, but for the purposes of the storyline I think it's imperative Frank gets convicted, hope they throw away the key!<br /><br />Great work by both Andrew and Alison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
