PC Cotter

The Police Officer and her colleague were called to the house of Richie and Julia O'Driscoll in March 2016 when numerous allegations were made by the people within in the house. Arriving there, they found vicar Billy Mayhew with a bloodied nose, an unkempt Polish girl Marta Zarek and Eva Price and Aidan Connor as well as the house's legal occupants.

Billy and Eva made the complaint that the O'Driscolls had been keeping Marta in the house locked up as a domestic slave under threat of duress and they were rescuing her. The O'Driscolls complained that Eva and Billy had broken into the house and that Aidan had assaulted Richie. Aidan alleged that Richie had been assaulting Eva and that was the reason he had punched Richie.

Losing patience with the counter-arguments, the officer arrested five of those present: Eva and Billy for criminal damage, the O'Driscolls for offences under section 1 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and Aidan for assault.

All were taken to the police station where ultimately it was Marta's story that was believed. The O'Driscolls were charged while the others were let go.
