Description

Girl 1 has been given lifelong anonymity and so we can’t reveal her true identity.She was one of a number of victims in the highly publicised Oxford Bullfinch case. She has chosen to share her story now to help other young people who may be in a similar situation. Police and social services let her down more than once and she is still picking up the pieces.She talks to me about her own dysfunctional childhood and how she ended up in care homes from the age of twelve years old. How the care system was not an easy journey,  and why she looked for love and attention in all the wrong places, which was when she met the men that abused her.  For 3 years she was trapped, punished physically, mentally, and emotionally. The seven men convicted for crimes against her, and the abuse of many other girls, were given long prison sentences, including life.  But years on, and girl 1 is still looking for answers from the police and authorities she says let her down.  Helpline Links:Confidential Emotional Support LineNHS Help after Rape and Sexual Assault WebsiteMind Guide to Support Options after Abuse24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line   Second Chance Podcast Links: Raphael on Instagram Raphael on Twitter Raphael's Website Second Chance on Facebook Raphael Rowe Foundation Hosted on Acast.

Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed.
