The evil character ended up raping Little Mo, and after he tries to do it again, she hit him with an iron in self-defence.

Fearing that she'd killed him, Little Mo ran home for help but when she got back, his body had disappeared.

Trevor managed to escape to a nearby alley and later reported Little Mo to the police for attempted murder.

She was then found guilty of the offence, but this was later overturned.
