An Australian radio show has been pulled off air after a lie detector stunt saw a 14-year-old girl say she had been raped.
The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Sydney's 2Day FM was put "into recess" pending a review over the incident last week.
The move follows public outrage over the segment, which saw the girl quizzed about whether she was sexually active.
Host Kyle Sandilands has also been sacked from his role as a judge on Australian Idol over the row.
The radio show saw the girl strapped to a polygraph machine as her mother - who had volunteered to be on air - quizzed her despite apparently knowing she had been assaulted when she was 12 years old.
Sandilands was accused of further insensitivity when after the confession he asked: "Right, and is that the only sexual experience you've had?"
Co-host Jackie O'Neil put an end to any further discussions when she realised the conversation had crossed a line.
