and when she sees Laurie touching Hannah's arm she shouts at him in front of Diane and Tony. Laurie tries to cover Sineads outburst, but she tearfully reveals to Diane and Tony that Laurie raped her. He tries to convince them that she is lying but apologises to Sinead for getting carried away. At the police station, Sinead goes over the night again, however, she remembers that she posted a picture of her and Laurie shortly after he raped her so she lies saying it was the night before on 1 April. When she returns home she checks her diary and is horrified when she realises that Laurie was on the camping trip that night and that he has an alibi. Sinead begs Sienna to lie to the police. She pleads with Sami to help her and he tells her to say she got confused. Sinead tells the police that it happened on 2 April and that she lied because she didn't think they would believe her. DC Jones tells her that because of her lie, her statement is unreliable and the case is dropped and Laurie is released. Sienna arrives at the flat and Sinead tells her that they have each other and that they stood up to Laurie and they hug. Sinead runs into Laurie at Price Slice and he accuses her of making up the accusations and she threatens to kill him before throwing a bottle of wine at him. DC Jones asks Sinead to accompany her to the station. She refuses so DC Jones arrests her for perverting the course of justice while a smug Laurie looks on. Sinead is refused bail and is locked up. In June, Sami tries to convince her to plead guilty but she ignores his advice. Diane tries to make her plead guilty by bringing Hannah to visit her. Sinead confides in Diane that she doesn't think she will be able to beat Laurie. Sinead breaksdown and trashes her cell and she tells Sami that she isn't going to court. However, she changes her mind when Sami brings Laurie's past victim Georgia to visit her. Sinead is released on bail but is furious to learn from Liberty that Sami got Georgia to sign a non-disclosure agreement and storms off. Laurie approaches Georgia and scares her off and Sinead breaks down in front of Diane who promises to get back at Laurie.
