An Australian radio show that hooked up a teenage grial to a lie detector and foreced her to admit she was raped returned to the airwaves on Tuesday, with its hosts apologising over the stunt.
The "Kyle and Jackie O Show" was Yanked off air earlier this month after sparking outrage when the 14-year-old's mother prompted her to reveal during a live broadcast that she had been raped when she was 12.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd led a barrage of criticism from psychologists, broadcasters, child protection and rape crisis groups over the girl's treatment.
The "shock jock," infamous for stunts such as drinking breast milk and launching a competition to find Sydney's smallest penis, lost his job as a judge on television's "Australian ldon" over the incident.
NSW Premier Nathan Rees said the radio hosts should not have been allowed to return.
"They well and truly over-stepped the mark a few weeks ago," he told reporters.
Australia's media regulator has launched an investigation into whether the lie detector segment breached broadcasting guidelines.
