A teenage victim hanged herself because she could not face the agony of a second trial after her barrister broke strict legal rules and caused the first court case to collapse.
Dana Baker, who was 16 when she died, hanged herself near a busy roundabout in Kidderminster, Worcestershire last March.
She was awaiting a retrial for karate instructor Jaspal Riat, 48, who had repeatedly raped her since the age of 13.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
