The police turn up to arrest the mechanic after David finally makes the decision to report the rape to the police, with girlfriend Shona Ramsey by his side.

David is spurred into action after being sought out by another one of Josh’s victims, Dec, who doesn’t want to go to the police and wants Shona to stop harassing him.

David also hears heartbroken Johnny Connor reveal to Peter Barlow that he wishes his son Aidan had just spoken to him before taking his own life.

But when the police tell Josh what he’s been accused of, he acts bewildered and as if he doesn’t know what is going on or why he’d be arrested for such a crime.

Shona wastes no time in setting the new factory boss straight, telling her that Josh raped David and that he’s been to the police. Alya doesn’t know who to believe.
