NEWS PRESENTER.
Good evening and welcome back to the witch-hunt report. And now, yes…
PUTS HAND TO MICROPHONE IN HIS EAR.
we can take you straight over to our roving reporter, Tom Parsley.

TURNS TOWARDS SCREEN WHERE WE SEE TOM PARSLEY STANDING IN FRONT OF A HOUSE HOLDING A MICROPHONE.

NEWS PRESENTER.
Are you there, Tom?

TOM PARSLEY
Yes I am, Alan. Today as you can see. I am standing outside the home of the notorious Mr John Jenkins. A 47 year old unemployed care worker, who earlier this week, was arrested and then released without charge after police discovered over 10,000, sickening and disturbing videos of sex scenes involving teenage girls stored on his computer.

NEWS PRESENTER.
Have you seen any these videos Tom?

TOM PARSLEY.
No I haven't Alan. However I am assured by those that have, that they were indeed very sickening and very disturbing, and often involved girls as young as 18 or 19. In fact, one policewoman was said to be so disturbed by the images that she actually vomited into this bush.

GESTURES TOWARDS A BUSH IN THE GARDEN.

NEWS PRESENTER ( SHAKING HIS HEAD )
Sickening!

TOM PARSLEY ( WALKING UP THE GARDEN PATH TOWARDS THE FRONT DOOR )
Yes Alan. John Jenkins, who has lived here for the last 20 years caring for his disabled mother, was arrested when the police, acting on information received from this station, raided his house, and discovered Mr Jenkins vigorously masturbating while watching an episode of Hollyoaks.

NEWS PRESENTER
Any idea which episode it was, Tom?

TOM PARSLEY
No idea, Alan,. Although it is believed that a mild lesbian sex scene was involved.

NEWS PRESENTER ( SHAKING HIS HEAD )
Sickening!

REPORTER BEGINS WALKING TOWARDS THE HOUSE.
Although very little is known of John Jenkins. It is said that he can frequently be found eying up teenage girls on his way home from Tesco's, and on very rare occasions, usually after one or two pints down his local, actually talking with them with in the street. Probably about sex.

NEWS PRESENTER ( SHAKING HIS HEAD )
Sickening! Absolutely sickening. Lets hope the bastard gets what's coming to him eh Tom?

FRONT DOOR OPENS AND A MIDDLE AGED MAN APPEARS.

MAN

NEWS PRESENTER ( SHOUTING AND POINTING ) There is he now, Alan. Quick, throw something at him.

TOM PARSLEY ( BARGING HIS WAY THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR )
Mr Jenkins, Mr Jenkins, how do you respond to allegations that you are a raving sexual pervert who frequently empties his gonads while watching episodes of Neighbours and Home and Away?
