1 Comment on Abused by Dad after Mum died

Corinne was devastated when her mum died, but her nightmare wasn’t over. Just weeks after her mum’s death, her paedophile dad began sexually abusing her. The twisted pervert – who was also a nudist – blamed Corinne’s increasingly withdrawn behaviour on her grieving for her mum. But after being inspired by the Jimmy Savile scandal, Corinne reported her dad to the police and he was jailed for three-and-a-half years for his despicable crimes. She bravely shared her story in Pick Me Up to raise awareness for other victims of sexual abuse.

No Comments on I snared my paedophile babysitter with Facebook message

Some of Olwen Owen’s first memories are of her depraved cousin, Christopher De Maria, sexually abusing her. The paedophile was trusted to babysit Olwen, but instead abused her secretly throughout her childhood. After concealing her torment for almost 20 years, Olwen was horrified to discover that Christopher had children of his own and set about bringing him to justice. Cleverly capturing his confession in a Facebook message, she reported him to the police and he was jailed for seven-and-a-half years last July.

No Comments on Susan Copestick: Why I saved the life of my rapist ex-lover

I recently had the privilege of working with Susan Copestick, who bravely saved the life of her own rapist so he would face justice for the attack.

Peter Drummond launched his degrading sexual assault in revenge for Susan ending their 10-year relationship. Thanks to Susan’s courage, Peter was jailed for 10 years in April.

Determined to raise awareness for other victims, she shared her story with Chat magazine and national newspapers, including the Mirror.

This morning, she appeared on BBC Two’s Victoria Derbyshire to encourage other victims to seek justice.

You can watch the full interview here.
