Schoolgirl travels to Turkey for rape case

The schoolgirl met Mehmet, better known as Steve, while holidaying with her grandmother and sister in the popular resort of Marmaris. She was flying to Turkey to testify on behalf of her 24-year-old fiance, who is due to stand trial next week. Speaking before leaving Britain, Rachael said: "I am going to Turkey because I don’t see why he should be locked up for seven years. "It was my idea to run away to Turkey and to have sex with him. I’m just going crazy worrying about him locked up in a prison cell."
