Okay, so he was friendly. He was never unpleasant to me. And I was... I was friendly. I didn't want to hurt his feelings and say, no, no, you can't sit on the bus next to me and go and sit somewhere else. He was a pest. And yes, I did get the feeling that I was being hassled and followed around. But it didn't bother me. Yes, so he was friendly towards me. He wasn't unpleasant towards me.

Because my police interview, I didn't have time to prepare my answers. I was first of all blindsided by this allegation, struggling in my memory to remember events from whatever it was 27 years ago and I didn't have time and it was quick-fired questions. It wasn't a cosy chat sitting with the police. I had one police officer just staring at me and the other one firing questions quickly.

I was answering to the best of my ability with no preparation whatsoever to answer these questions. If I'd had time, then I would have perhaps been able to answer more fully. But I didn't have time.

I didn't remember. It's as simple as that. I didn't remember that at the time. But I did remember when I started to think about this student. I did remember things about this student from that time. I just...

My name is Sally-Ann Bowen and I'm the accused teacher in this case.

I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm...

Lucky Boys | Lucky Boy Ep4
Yeah, it's a huge relief. I've had to live with these lies for eight and a half years. I've never yet had an opportunity to verbally defend myself, so I'm relieved.

It was horrible, because he's not telling the truth. I felt embarrassed for him because... Well, he knew that I knew what he was saying wasn't true. I also felt hurt because I was only ever friendly towards this student. And I thought, why are you doing this?
Lucky Boy | Tortoise Investigates
Lucky Boys | Lucky Boy Ep4
Of course not. No. No, absolutely not. I talked to him on the bus, so I didn't do that with any other student, because no other student wanted to sit on the bus and talk to me, but I didn't give... I didn't treat him as... any differently from any other student. I was just friendly. I was friendly with all the students.

No, that's rubbish. That's impossible. He didn't come into the house. He didn't come into my room. It's impossible.

Lucky Boys | Lucky Boy Ep4
Yes. I used to get really nice compliments. Obviously I was going to feel flattered by that.
Lucky Boy | Tortoise Investigates
Lucky Boys | Lucky Boy Ep4
Well, they would say things like, You look nice today, miss, or your hair looks nice, you know, I like your top, or whatever. Yes, of course I'm going to be flattered by that.

Some of them were sexual, but I used to ignore them. I used to get wolf-whistled, catcalls as I walked across the playground. You know, there's from the chemistry building to the main block. But I just ignored comments like that. But I said thank you if someone said, you look nice today, miss. And of course I did.

No. No, not at all. What are you doing this evening? No, I don't think that's flirting. I was just answering his questions.
Lucky Boy | Tortoise Investigates
Lucky Boys | Lucky Boy Ep4
Yeah, which, did I like any of the male teachers? That kind of thing. I don't consider that flirting. just answering his questions.
