СКАЧАТЬ he was saying ‘You’re mine’ – ‘I’m fucking not’, I couldn’t say, because he was strangling me. ‘I love you,’ he said. ‘I’m in love with you.’ My flatmate came barrelling down the stairs, the creep ran up to get hold of him and threw him at the banisters, broke his rib, it turned out.

      The police came around, said, ‘Oh it’s domestic,’ and went away. It was a long time ago. I rang them the next day and said, ‘Oi.’

      They picked him up in a dawn raid, and the DI said, ‘Why didn’t you tell me he was a coloured boy?’ – because he wasn’t, is why. He was half French or something, and a bit sallow.

      Took it to court, he got off. The reason being, I felt bad for him, and didn’t tell the truth. I was up as a witness – you weren’t the victim then, you were a witness to what had been done to you. They said, ‘You’re his girlfriend.’ I said ‘No I’m not, I’ve only known him a few weeks and we’ve never had sex. That’s not girlfriend to me.’ I didn’t say what he had told me: there was a thing in his family where the men’s foreskins are too tight. His dad had it and his uncle; they got circumcised; it’s fine. But he hadn’t been circumcised. So every time he got a stiffy, he also got excruciating pain. So that had an effect on how he felt about women he fancied. So I became the reason for him getting severe sex-related dick-agony, and that’s why he did what he did. But I was young and in court and didn’t feel able to tell everyone in their wigs about his dick issues. I was sorry for him! Plus I thought my flatmate’s broken rib and the busted-down door etc., etc., would tell the story without me having to go into details. More fool me. The lesson being, when you’re up against the men, whatever kind of woman you are, use everything you’ve got.
