This programme was sparked by a rape case which took place on December 14th, 1986, in Auckland's Ambury Park, where a woman is raped repeatedly for 9 hours, which is discussed. The rape occurred at a Mongrel Mob convention and photographs were taken of the actual rape. George Manfredos, Mongrel Mob secretary, says that the rape was a setup by internal gang politics and the ones responsible, once identified, were de-patched and thrown out of the gang. Bickerstaff says that four rapes took place that night but went unreported.
The announcer states that the radio station is surrounded by police as the programme is being aired.
