Her suicide note was an apology, which sheds new light on how often she apologizes through out telling her story.
Heartbreaking this, she said she feels guilty about letting him in the door, I wish I could give this poor young woman a huge hug, so so upset right now
you guys picked a really good interviewer - he is very empathetic and supportive while giving these people space to process.
It sounds like a Stockholm syndrome.
She was at wrong place at the wrong time when it all started. William was probably the main culprit who sold her to his "friends". What a heartbreaking story.
William was the real culprint...he wasnt just a broken man. he was the reason why she came in contact with the others. he must ve been truly diabolical to do this to her.
William was the bait that's how grooming gangs work they always have to have a introducer and William was just as fearful of them as she explained
Yep, that's how they do it... they sent ''the covert fragile one'' but in reality he's truly dangerous and most probably sociopathic like the others. This type is the feeder grooming you to trust him... until your ''ready'' or in a sufficient state of confusion not to think that something bad is about to happen, even though your instincts are telling you otherwise.
As a therapist, I am incredibly thankful that this beautiful young woman had the strength to carry on, and survive this horrific abuse!!! I am also so impressed by the interviewers empathy and genuine ability to listen, put her at ease, and help her to be able to share her journey through this hell and back! Tysm for both of you to bring awareness to this heinous situation!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😞😞😞
@rebeccajohnsob4130 i too am a therapist and a clinical trauma support specialist
I love that she names the perpetrators- that has to take such strength.
She’s a spy
@@krob2327 Don't be so ridiculous
I'm saddened by her constant excuses for William. He sounds just as abusive as the other men she's encountered, but she seems unable to see it. I pray she heals completely 😢🙏🏾
This very often happens because in her mind that was initially her friend and because she's such a kind hearted person, also studying psychology...she felt pitty for William as he was at a special needs school etc...making excuses for him. He was the only one (guy) whom was kind to her. But William was scared for this gang as well... It's like a coping mechanism to at least still have a person that was good. I have only watched half so I don't know whether William ever graped her as well but if not than the above happens a lot. 😢 I do agree with you 100% though!
When William learning eventually what had been happening to her, he did what many decent adults around her also did.
Eventually they encouraged her to report to the police etc. Everything worked as well as could be expected, over all.
I really cant get my head round why she didnt leave town after the first rape! It doesnt make sence to me.
@@cheese_and_crackers3270well educate yourself
@@Anti_NWO-WEF SHE was wearing rose colored glasses...it's that simple. PhD
I wish I could take away this young womans pain 💔
Young lady you are a Phoenix. You rose from the ashes and found the strength and courage to tell your story.
Sending you love, light and my utmost admiration.
Im confused
Her story stayed with me from the original video because it was so shocking and unbelievable. It was good to hear more about it. She's so brave for telling her story
I have watched several videos that were victim-reporting videos. This video stands out for her story and her manner. I will remember her reporting forever.
Sex trafficking normally ends with hundreds of people raping 1 girl or woman. It's not far fetched.
Referring to your own words to describe what your mind is processing... You know why her story "stands out" and sounds "unbelievable"?... The reason is because her story is mixed with lies. I don't believe her. It's obvious to me.
@@rashedhashlamon7546how is she lying
What a woman - honestly. It takes such strength to be able to share such a horrific story so openly with the world. I don’t doubt that her openness will save other women directly through her work as a nurse and indirectly through interviews like this. Truly inspirational ❤
What a harrowing story. This woman will save lives sharing her story. She is the epitome of strength
OMG. My heart breaks for her. And I am so absolutely livid. The police and the counselor she spoke with after the first rape completely failed her. What an incredible survivor.
No need to ever feel shame. You were the victim and a strong survivor who is bravely speaking out to help others. Really informative and interesting interview that sheds light on terrible crimes that I didn’t know much about. All the best to this lovely lady and I’m sure she will help many other survivors ❤
It breaks my heart that she keeps apologizing for nothing😢
Terrible, it's disgusting how the authorities turnt a blind eye due to fear of being called racist
@Ryan Tate pretty much modern day society
@@ryantate6447 Rubbish,this stuff happen with plenty of white boys in gangs and wrong'uns too.Unfortunately many men and young boys raoe abd assault young girls and women.Maybe focus on the men who do this of all sectsors of society rather than making it a race issue.
Look at how you or friends around you or men talk about women and treat women,this behaviour is all too common and exists in all sectors of society.
What a gift that she ended up in Mental Health Nursing. I hope this career helped her understand what happened to her and help others in need. She should hold no blame or responsibility for what happened to her. Being naive and not worldly is an innocent place and she was blessed to come f that place. And above all she’s a survivor and no one can take that from her! Bravo to her and all survivors….without you we will never learn and grow! ❤😢😊
She still needs help. God be with her.
What a great woman. Agree she came from an innocent place....and is blessed to come from that place. Unfortunately the level of pathology/ deviance in the population make such individuals obvious targets to predators with Eagle eyes who prey on them, traumatising and thus destroying them. I count myself in the traumatised group.
Ben, you are such a compassionate, huge hearted man. Your voice is calming and your gentleness is a comfort to your guest(s) as always. This just seemed so hard for her. You make my heart smile.
That terrible sinking feeling when you realize that your life has taken an awful turn… there is a feeling of resignation from all your hopes and aspirations. I want this young lady to know that her message reaches deep and clear to other victims/survivors of trauma, and to thank her for her demonstrated desire to help others. I hope that she will come to know how strong and beautiful she really is. 🌈💜🇺🇸
The police masons and hospitals are trafficking women. JFK North Palm Beach Florida drugs rapes and tortures and experiments on young girls and homeless people any woman they can get their hands on they will rape to the point of having no skin down there and you’ll be held long enough to not get a forensic rape exam or a toxicology report while the staff does Satanic ritual abuse on all the people in the hospital behind closed doors all day all night and feed you human meat this is not a joke. The police that are involved in the masons that are in on it think this is fun to then follow the women or anybody who survives afterwards and keep them silent no one is pressing charges and there is so much abuse in that facility it has to be shut down. Elderly are also being extorted of their money & houses bf dying inside there.
So much of what you have said resonates with me as does this brave woman’s feelings of feeling different and in one moment life as I knew it changed. Bless this woman for speaking out.
i live in leeds road bradford3 mirpuri gangs musli8msw pkies abuse oldme3n diswable get target by t5hese
in bradford police dont doe anyt5hi9ng
The police system is very flawed as is society and i wish people could do more to change things before people get damaged.
William was never her friend. He had a specific role to play in this gang.
I hope this lady finds love and good fortune for what's happened to her. She's one strong woman!
I'm only at the beginning of this story, but it's very interesting hearing her continuously defend "william" (who seemed to be the conduit into this horrific lifestyle) like he wasn't part of the problem (despite potentially being a victim himself)
From one nurse to another your one brave soul , no need to be ashamed i am beside you every step of the way ! in fact i am very proud of you !
this interviewer is amazing. he really makes the effort to not pressure her
“Of course”
It’s such a powerful and healing phrase. When you share the worst things that have happened to you and the other person said “of course.” It makes you feel like “ohhh, of course I was terrified…anyone put in that situation would feel the same way. Thank you to you and everybody you’ve interviewed. Interviewee and interviewer you’ve helped more people than you can imagine, keep doing what you do!!!
She still has a long way to go in healing. She still has a scripted excuse for William. William led her to the Lions Den. Just horrible. I pray there is justice some where along the way against each of the perps. So sorry you had to go through all of this.
At the end of the day William was the same age as me, just a lost teenager, I can’t blame him anymore than I can blame myself. He didn’t rape me. The rapists are the perpetrators, we were just teenagers caught up in a terrible system that was not on our side. It is not good psychology to continue to hold on to grudges. He shows remorse, I forgive him and I forgive myself. I don’t forgive them, the men who raped me, who do not have any remorse for what they did.
@@kateelysia1 We are just mad on your behalf Queen 🎉
@@kateelysia1Of course there's an appropriate place for understanding and forgiveness, but that understanding and forgiveness does not mean painting over the facts.
Perhaps William was afraid. Perhaps he was naive. Perhaps he is remorseful...
But it seems quite obvious that he wasn't ignorant. He knew what would happen and what was happening.
Accountability is not evidence of holding a grudge.
Wishing you and evey person who has emerged from any darkness lasting healing.
Wow! What this lady went through was tremendously terrible and I think she's incredibly brave. I'm very proud of the fact she done this episode, I wish her the best 💖.
😍Former longtime Victim Advocate here: The articulate grasp Kate has on the personal & systemic factors of these crimes is STUNNING! I pray that she continues to heal and find the peace she deserves. 👍🙏🕊️
6 and a half years for destroying multiple life's. Absolute joke the UK justice system.
It’s still happening now
This content is so important to share as it helps viewers recognize and understand what has happened to them or see warning signs that could save them from harm. The interviewer is very respectful and encouraging which allows these survivors to feel safe sharing their stories. So much strength and resilience in this woman and I hope she continues to get therapy to process it all over time.
what an absolute powerful lady . I am a survivor too . keep shining bright . we change so many lives . I would love to chat with you Kate . Best wishes moving forward .
😊😅
It seems all women are powerful, strong, survivor victims. Quite contradictory.
@@Oliver-CloseoffStay classy bruh
@@georgielancaster5258 whats funny ding bat ?
What an incredible woman - such strength and resilience through such a horrific crime.
Just want to give her a big hug 🙏❤️🤗
What an incredible story of survival and courage. This woman is a hero! I also want to thank the interviewer for his sensitive and thoughtful demeanor and his ability to give a safe space to Kate. It takes respect and skill to do that.
Harrowing. She is so brave and must know how many girls she will be educating and saving moving forwards.
Thank you for speaking for so many of us.
Your honesty shines light into the hearts of those who have been marginalized and isolated by abusers.
I appreciate the support shown this brave and beautiful woman. Thank you all!
We need to support survivors and this is what it looks like.
I appreciate this woman’s bravery and God bless her for surviving such horrific obstacles. Bless her Lord Jesus.
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
She is still spiritually connected to William. Praying for her deliverance.
Yup, the way she excuses him and believed he was into her is an indication that she's rewritten the story to cope.
I honestly hope that she has the most wonderful life from now on. I know that's unrealistic but what happened to her and others is more than deeply disturbing, I have no words. I truly hope the universe sends her everything she needs and wants. She deserves to live her best life.
Wow! This has really been informative, a truly great interview. Kate is an extraordinary person to be able to speak so matter of factly about so personal and devastating an assault. She really puts to shame the critics who condemn , "Well, why didn't you scream, fight back, run away, go to the police, tell someone. Why didn't you? Why didn't you? Why didn't you? Well, if you had only, but you didn't." How does a person explain the fear, confusion, self-blame, guilt, shame, and other complex emotions and mental processes involved in such a horrible experience. Kate did a great job explaining all these things and was able to keep herself together while doing it.
Thats just horrible, that she had to hide away from her flat. The flat is supposed to be a safe haven. And that William is criminal. Prayers for her complete and total healing. 🙏
stories like these make me feel as though there’s no light in this world, truly and honestly, this is horrifying beyond words can ever describe. i’m so sorry this happened to you
We would not be alive today without the intelligent, caring humans that create solutions. We all can choose to be light bringers despite the suffering.
Incredibly brave to share her story yet again. I cannot imagine the pain this must bring Kate every time she shares this for awareness. Sending an abundance of love and light. May the rest of your life be filled with the most peace and support as possible.
They are taught that they are better than other people and have the right to abuse them. I am glad she told what they did. Very brave of her, and few victims can explain it so well. Admire her.
Yes, true
police and your community let you down, you deserve every compliment for fighting through this and trying to help prevent it happening elsewhere ❤

She was essentially used by the police too!
I really hope things have improved where the police response is concerned. Sadly, SA is a huge problem all over the world, and there needs to be some type of reform in how victims are treated, how we teach our children about the danger or warning signs, etc.
The British Police don't do much against the Muslim Immigrant Males.
@@zxy78267 Yes very true,the police are supposed to be better trained and more aware of grooming and sexual abuse and should always take reports of rape seriously whether they think they will reach court or not.just because the burden of proof and process is a difficult one should not mean that they simply allow a victim or reported victim to go without following up or offering support and proper counselling.
They completely failed her and sadly continue to fail those who report sexual violence and DV,they should be on it straight away and have proctocols in place to support victims.
They more or less sent her off to be abused again and again.
Poor girl.. I felt bad for her, and disgust for those guys. She was soo naive, she didn't realize William was a part of this rape gang, whether he was "in" this gang or one of the "come-on" (patsy) guys, setting up these lone, naive girls or not, he was a part of it and knew what was going on, and was going to happen. This showed immediately when that rapist told William what he did (or had her do to him), even though he did worse. It was part of the "Good guy, Bad guy" plot. They do all of this to make the young and naive feel off balance and like it was their (the girls) fault. So they will be afraid to report it to anyone, parent or authority. Then they'd gang rape, and start selling her out.. so to speak. It can actually happen to much younger girls then her. But its very sad and disgusting that this happens to anyone.
What monsters live amongst us...harming women that way!Courageous woman! I hope God restores her completely!
“God” let this happen, grow up
@@RyanS406 God does not remove free choice that people choose evil or good. God is good and one day there will be justice. And you grow up yourself there buddy boy!
God is ready to swoop in and help with healing despite sitting back and having no control over these evil things. As if. Can’t you just wish some one your best without bringing religion in.
@@gems5638 Why be so upset about my response which contains my faith. If you ever are willing to humble yourself to know the truth and God's Word, read Psalm 37. God will not only swoop in at the appointed time but will judge and judge righteously! God bless you, humbly!
you xan thank the cult of psssylyyyum
You never need to apologise for other people's actions. You are a beautiful strong woman.
I wish you nothing but happiness for the rest of your life 🌻
Thank you for sharing your story. I work with victims of sexual abuse. It helps me to hear your bravely spoked first hand account of being groomed, and broken...things my clients have also been through and are working to process so that they can live now. I wish you all the healing available. You did nothing wrong. I am so very sorry this all happened to you.
@pattyfluegel7816 survivor turned professional clinical trauma support specialist myself
You're so incredible Kate. I don't even know how you finished your studies. So strong and brave. I don't know how you even talk about it publicly. You deserve the best future.
More people need to talk about it otherwise it will stay underground.
I know how she finished her studies - she compartmentalised.
I did the same for my 'A's.
I don't know how she only failed one, though. I got two Ds!
She is incredible though, I agree. Very strong and brave.
I’m glad that she studied psychology is school. With her experience she’ll be able to help so many. God bless her❤
Question Do men think women like and need sex like they do ? BECAUSE WE DON'T ! ! !
This woman is amazing. Thank you for shedding a light and exposing these monsters 👏
Powerful interview. She is such a brave woman and the interviewer was a kind gentleman.
This woman's bravery and strength is nothing short of extraordinary... period!!! There is no other way to describe or say about the warrior I just listened to!!! An absolute inspiration in every imaginable sense!!
We appreciate videos like this. They're genuinely insightful.
Insightful? To be constantly reminded how weak vulnerable pathetic we the white community we can't even protect her own children from ethnic minorities for fear of a word get a grip man insightful
She made a very good point, often victims of coercion don't seem like a kind of person you would like to help. She unashamedly smashes the Hollywood's idea of a victim, the romanticised version that you would so much want to save, and paints the reality with ugly, rough, but pure truth. Very brave woman. Very honest interview. She teaches us that people in those kind of situations are extremely confused and it takes a lot of effort to help them. We need to help them. In truth we should help all of them, victims and abusers alike. That's where William comes in. We don't, they only go back to what they know. Great woman. Great interview. Wish you all the best!
Coercion

When she said she was 18 and then said She said she was mature too. I cry in married at 16.
This is absolutely horrendous! I’m so sorry you endured this for so long. I don’t even want to call you brave or strong because those words feel so hollow. I am in awe of your courage to speak up and tell your truth and share your abuse.
We are proud that you are coming forward , we are with you , and we wish you speedy healing
I found it shocking that you said you’re shy because I feel like you’re incredibly well spoken and I loved listening to your videos about your story. The fact you showed immense strength during and after such traumatic experiences in truly inspiring! Your story shows other people you can recover and be happy again.
This is a truly Heartbreaking and Devastating story. God bless you Kate, such an incredibly strong and resilient woman. 💛
You are so brave to use your unique and insightful position to frame your story. Not many women could be as clear. This will help both victims and other sufferers understand how trauma affects a person, how to get out of it against all odds- AND yet- so graciously use it to help themselves and others. You are a hero. Thank you for sharing Kate! I hope you do ‘Never give up!’
I am so incredibly sorry that you went through this, i cannot imagine your pain. None of it was your fault! People let you down, and you were so alone🥺 The strenght you showed in getting away, reporting it, and speaking out is incredible. Hope you truely get healing and get to live a good and happy life❤️
The fact that she defending this “friend” is very telling… that’s how this happened. Ladies use your brain. Do not trust anyone. Her “friend” knew she was in danger and allowed it. Implying he is innocent is completely insane. Love yourself
Easier said, than done
@@PampiliciYes, I feel that there’s a lack of understanding in this comment. Things are not black and white, it’s complicated.
I feel you’re lacking in understanding what this lady is explaining. It’s not about, “using your brain “! And I feel you are insulting, with your ignorance.
‘Use your brain’
Why don’t you use yours and understand that the depth and complexity of this abuse runs much deeper than we all think.
Don't be so rude and judgmental plz. Brainwash, manipulation can mislead the smartest people. Look at cults etc
A lot of people don’t understand the psychological effects of abuse. It’s easy to say, “just leave” or “don’t go back”, but it becomes like a drug. That dysfunction becomes what you know best and what you’re strangely more comfortable being in even if it is causing you extreme distress; you miss it in a way because it’s your new normal. Everything else, even if healthy, now causes a greater sense of fear. I describe it as the frog in a boiling pot of water; as the temperature is gradually being increased you can’t tell, but eventually when you’re so deep in you’re boiling, you’re now so overwhelmed to the point it feels inescapable and you’re caught in this cycle of gaslighting yourself into thinking it’s somehow your fault. The shame of that becomes all consuming and crippling. It’s like your mind has become a haunted funhouse; you don’t know which way is up, which way is down, what or who to trust (including yourself, your own thoughts/feelings) or how to get out. I commend this woman for getting out, she is strong and beautiful for sharing her story. I know she is educating a lot of people and spreading hope for other survivors.
Most people can’t explain the various states or stages of the situation but you have hit the nail on the head and I thank you so much. I hope people who are struggling or who have found a safe way out read your contribution, folk may well be handled (not a good term, sorry) by qualified specialists but gain nothing from that experience. It is very very sad....Rob
What a wonderful human being, such strength in coming through such horrors and now engaging with those in need.
Thank you for sharing such a painful traumatic story, i know there will be many people who will gain strength and healing through being able to access help by hearing it. I absolutely resonate with the assertion that you can live a real life free from mental health issues after abuse, as a survivor that was what allowed me to keep going snd refuse to give up, the promise of having a real life, not just one as a victim. ❤❤
It's clear the government does NOTHING to stop and fight all of these, and society tolerates this by thinking it's a 'personal issue', but in reality, it's a mass issue and a system that is allowed to exist.
Thanks for sharing Kate. You are and will help many other survivors.
As a survivor & a clinician myself, I'm so struck by your strength & courage. Also your beautiful & kind soul, which really shines through in spite of the horror & heartbreak you went through. The interviewer (who was awesome, btw!) is right - you're a very special person. Thank-you for sharing your story & raising awareness. I wish you well, you so deserve it. ❤
Thank you for your story and on going will to help and inform others as well as better yourself!
I’m very greatful to have come across this! You have given me the courage and strength to respect myself more and to help others to do the same!
I’m damaged from my life and suffer extreme depression, ptsd and anxiety! I know I do not have to live my life anymore as a victim but as a person who knows what comes from wrong intentions and trauma!
I can be a person who can give back to the ones that cannot give anything for themselves at this time!
Thank you 🙏 ❤
It is very hard to overcome SA. There are a lot of survivors out there who are surviving, but not without painful memories and anger, regret, etc. I'm angry that the system at the time for me was not a victim positive system. If you weren't attacked by some heinous person jumping out of an alley who also beat you to a pulp, it wasn't an assault. Almost no one my age reported it because we knew we'd be put on trial more than the perpetrator. I think things have improved a little bit, but we have a long way to go.
As horrible as the perpetrators are, what is even more horrible is that in many countries and cities, the authorities deal with such things with total impunity and corruption is rampant. Oftentimes there is no prosecution, and victims are prevented from even filing a report. The entire process of justice and healing demands change - in many places it is very broken. ( I am in Texas, U S.A.)
What a powerful disclosure about your experience. . Thank you for your courage & decision to bring it to Light..
Absolutely my 13yr old was groomed and plied with alcohol, filmed semi consciousness, then distributed online. She was so ashamed when school saw it. She blames herself still, says its her fault. Wouldn't push charges because of shame. She 15 now her mental health is fluk now. She uses pot to numb herself. Agree lovely Lady for having the strength to speak up.❤❤
You as the parent can prosecute. Name and Shame them and their families when they’re convicted.
@@homodeus8713 I can't unless she testifies. She won't cos she blames herself.❤
I don’t understand how the police operate. With a video and her being underage they should be able to prosecute without making her testify. I have heard this in other cases and the worst predatory scum is allowed to keep doing it over and over. They need to do better.
@@lindaford5605The state could persecute the abuser.
@@judithflom6366Exactly
I’m sorry this happened to you, truly very sorry. I went through some childhood trauma myself and relate to many things you said. You are worthy and good. You are strong and your heart to help others is a blessing.
The system NEVER protects the victim😥
Thank you so much for being such a strong person and sharing your story. You will have helped so many people. Sending you love 🌺❤️🌺
Dear Kate,, your account fills me with horror as I can completely imagine the incidents you describe. It goes to my gut as I've experienced a kind of parallel dynamic, if less bad and less big. It was not even a gang, just a bunch of young men with toxic levels of hatred against women. They leave you feeling so humiliated you do blame yourself. It is so important that you've articulated your experience and the ambiguity around consent and disempowerment, the breaking of your will. It would help other people who are blaming themselves. I hope things are going well with you now., you're a beautiful flame of illumination in such entrapping darkness.
Well spoken woman who was caught in an horrific situation by male violent predators. Then the police didn’t support her or provide her protection or validation. Disgusting!
You are very brave sister and an inspiration to other victims ..turning such a bad experience into something which could help others shows your incredible strength and goodness of your heart which is incomparable....hats off to you sis....and shame on the police for failing their job and may those animals who did wrong with you die a miserably painful death....
Brilliant woman in heart and soul and mind. Her insights amazing. The interviewer asks good questions, approaches this sensitively and i like how he said “story, experience” (it is an experience….story is related and not synonymous)
I’m so impressed with Kates courage in coming forward to describe this horrendous abuse. Though it chills me to know now how these gangs and damaged abusive men operate, with the weak following the more aggressive thinking that women deserve this. I hope that Kates witness will bring a positive and progressive change in society, policing, and mental health services to enable women to feel safe to come forward and get help
💞Kate,
Never stop moving forward.
Keep fighting the good fight.
We all have a purpose, a calling.
Keep your chin up and be proud of everything you have achieved and accomplished. Your courage is admirable.
I want to thank you for not giving up on yourself.
Much Love and Respect,
a small town in Texas.
You are so strong and dont even know how you speaking your story is also speaking out for other women who went through this. I'm currently getting my doctorate in psychology and I would love to help so many women who have gone through any type of abuse. This is just motivating me even more❤
Brave, brave lady. It breaks my heart to hear an account like this, with so little justice being brought to fruition, it seems to me. But women like this can and will change the world, so God bless you Kate for your courage and incredible articulation of such heart wrenching experiences. 🙏🙏🙏
What a horrific story. Amazing strength to be able to speak about it.
That guy William has set her up
Stop Victim Blaming. William was vulnerable to foreign gang activity, too. Are you another anti-white male? No mention of the Mohammedans? You don’t blame them, so you are responsible for White girls like her getting r*ped, by foreigners.
Thank you. Your strength is inspiring
Long retired social worker now. This story is extremely common, world wide. Here in Australia, we started our Males Against Sexism groups, Sydney October 1975.
This male event is so strong, that we could not do anything with this city of the Australian feminist movements.
You are an amazingly brave human and I hope you thrive ♥️
Wow. Thank you so much for this candid laid bare discussion, and thank God you did not succeed in suicide. I totally get it, how a young woman's immature brain, believes they are the blame for every event in their life! Perps /offenders know this too and use it to control the situation. I had not heard this kind of criminal activity happened in a gang scenario but makes sense. Thank you for surviving and sharing as well as the painful process of dissecting.
Very very sad, the interviewer is absolutely fantastic, so empathetic and gentle. Xx
A very powerful interview and anyone that this happens to, it’s never your fault! It’s the perpetrators that are evil in every situation. We can learn from this wonderful woman but being a victim, even knowing these things happen, doesn’t mean any harm is your fault or responsibility. ❤
This woman is so brave and kind. William is such a coward and doesn’t deserve her as a friend
So touched by her honesty and courage. She will survive anything after that trauma. Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland
Omg she is so incredibly brave speaking about this. It's so sad this had to happen to her. You are a very Beautiful strong woman
Such a beautiful strong soul. I feel very lucky and grateful for your courage to talk about the topic of grooming and rape. It is so important what you do. Thank you thank you ❤
So strong. To go through that alone and make it out with such insight is really mind blowing. The cruelty of some people is harrowing.
Thank you for telling your story, I feel less alone
She was broken, don't judge her pls. She was a traumatized person. She was learning to do better. You can't just leave, you need an escape plan.❤❤🇬🇧👍
She is so brave. Thank you for sharing your story. I will have my daughter watch this as well.
Shocking and heartbreaking. Sending my love and best wishes, to this special Lady. So sad.
This girl is suffering ptsd. She has been traumatised by events from her teenage years. I hope things get better for her. She is very brave.
Kate your fighting the right fight. I showed this to my baby at 15. ❤❤❤❤❤💐💐💐
