The violent banging on the door jolts Ben from his sleep. He sat up quickly wondering if it was a dream. Then, he hears the screaming from his mother's room and his father shouting. The noise was becoming louder; the footsteps were heavy and nearer to his room. Alarmed and frightened, he stood up quickly from his bed, walks towards the door when suddenly it was forcefully kicked open and in a matter of seconds, flashes of light, fierce shouting and about two men grabbed his shoulders and pinned him to the ground, trying to restrain him.
"What is this?" he shouted, confused. "What's going on?" he screamed, struggling with them. "Who are you?"
“Are you Benjamin Cooker?” Someone shouted in his face.
“Yes, yes, yes, please, who are you?” he whimpers in fear.
The light in the room suddenly came on; only then did he realize who they were; several police officers in his room.
"Benjamin Cooker, you are under arrest for rape," one of the officers addressed him, putting a handcuff on him.
"What!" he gasped; mystified.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..."
"You have me confused with someone else," Ben struggled with the officers holding him. “This is all a mistake.” He shouted louder to be heard.
They took him out of his room, there, he saw his mother struggling with the officer keeping her back.
"What are you doing to my son, please," she cried out. "Where are you taking him to, he's done nothing." he heard his mother's voice behind him. His father was shocked, just staring at the whole scene in horror.
"You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning, if you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense."
Ben was stunned and appealed as he was put behind the police car. His heart aches seeing his mother running after the police car he was in and his father struggling to hold her.
"Please, you have me confused with someone else, I didn't rape anyone," he shouted fearfully at the officers. "This is wrong, I haven't done anything."
"Say that to your fellow perverts you would meet in jail." they smirk at him.
