Aussie radio show pulled after live teen rape claim

SYDNEY : An Australian radio show was yanked off the air on Monday 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. One of the presenters, Kyle Sandilands, was also kicked off the popular "Australian Idol" show, with network chiefs saying he didn't fit its family focus.
