TOUGH TIMES: Josie was nearly raped in Series 1, by a man who called himself David, who she met at a night school where she was learning Spanish. After he dropped her home one night, he asked if he could use her loo. He then turned nasty and she fought him off with a knife. After thinking he'd left, she went to her front door, only for him to jump out on her. She then kicked him where it hurt and threw him out.
In Series 3, while out shopping, Josie spotted 'David' with his wife. She quickly ran after him and caused a scene and got him arrested. 'David' whose real name was Michael, was charged.
