Days after a British visitor was raped on Dover Beach, she picked out her attacker in a police identification parade. However, that man was not Neil Anthony Broome, the man charged with committing the crime.Broome is charged with having sexual intercourse with the woman without her consent on May 10, 2014, knowing she did not consent or was reckless as to whether she consented.Giving evidence via Zoom in the No. 4A Supreme Court, the complainant recalled going to the police station three days after the incident to identify her rapist.“I was upset. I was petrified and crying because I did not want to do it,” she said during cross-examination by defence attorney Andrew Willoughby.The woman said she picked out a man in the ID parade.Willoughby submitted: “I am putting it to you that you did not pick out the accused man in this case.”The witness agreed: “That is correct. I did not pick out the accused man.”Stating that she could not recall exactly when or how she had found that out, the complainant told the nine-member jury, “I did not find out on the day that we did the parade. It was years down the line.”
