“All I wanted to do was hide away from the world, but I still had a role to play. I had to be 'Girl A' - the key witness in the trial that finally saw my abusers locked up. Girl A - the girl in the newspaper stories who had been through the most hideous experience imaginable. When I read those stories, I felt like I was reading about somebody else, another girl who was subjected to the depths of human depravity. But it wasn't. It was about me. I am Girl A.” LawVictimCourtWitnessDenialDissociationChild Sexual AbuseLegalSociety DenialTraffickingGroomingTrialChild RapeSex TraffickingPaedophile RingPedophile RingChild ProstitutionSex RingRochdale Book:Girl A: My Story Source: Girl A: My Story
