Posted by She was transported all over Britain, like a piece of meat.
When she was 12, she was raped. Not only raped, a glass bottle was forced inside her. It shattered in her body.
A 12 year old. For a moment, think about a 12 year old close to you.
She went to hospital. No questions were asked. She told the police. Their response? ‘Nothing I can do about that.’ They asked if the rapes were consenting sex. She didn’t even know what consent meant. Please just think about that.
So many knew, and did nothing. How? How can such evil be tolerated? How?
The woman is furious. Furious that in 2026 we’re still having this conversation, still trying to get people to talk about it.
We are trying to change that.
The way she conducted herself in our hearing was remarkable, such grace and courage.
She has rebuilt her life – simply incredible bravery and resilience.
Why did she want to tell her story at the inquiry? She said if she can save one soul from going through the same fate, then she’s ‘done her job’.
‘Just one’ child she told the inquiry.
She has certainly done that.
