Australian radio show axed over rape furore

AN Australian radio show was taken off the air yesterday after causing outrage when a teenage girl was hooked up to a lie detector and forced to admit that she was raped at the age of 12.

Sydney radio station 2Day FM said the Kyle and Jackie O Show that featured the stunt had been suspended indefinitely pending a review.

The Kyle and Jackie O Show is the highest-rating breakfast radio programme in Sydney.
