Olwen bravely told Woman’s Own readers how she was sexually abused by her sick cousin, Christopher, who was trusted to babysit her. Although he denied his terrible crimes, his lies unravelled in court when Olwen was able to produce a Facebook message in which he admitted his guilt. Christopher was eventually sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison, prompting Olwen to share her story to encourage other sexual abuse survivors to report their attackers.
Olwen has also appeared in Pick Me Up and The Sun.

Wow! He took his crime rather lightly from his casual admission. This is like my ex who readily admitted to authorities (well there was photographic evidence) that he had a “special bond” with our daughter. Sick.
Hi, thanks for your message. How awful, I hope your ex was convicted!
He was. 10-30.
Brilliant. It’s great that you supported your daughter. Sadly so many victims I speak to aren’t supported by their family, which sparks a whole cycle of shame and secrecy. Glad you got justice!
