Grooming Gangs: Fiona's Story Part 3
Q: How did you feel when you sat there listening to these sentences being passed?
I wanted to take back control. In that moment, I just thought, no, I'm not doing the interview. I've got no reason to hide. I've got nothing to be ashamed of.
Grooming Gangs: Fiona's Story Part 3
Q: What do you think happened to change the police practice and attitude from pretty much protecting the perpetrators to deciding to do something to investigate the crimes?
I think it was pressure. It was pressure from the survivors themselves, from advocates, from people that found a spark in them and decided to speak up.

Q: What do you hope will happen as a result of you telling this story, your story in such detail?
I'm hoping that people learn to understand how it happens, how it builds up, why you go back, how they get control over you and how the networks themselves work.
