Louise
In this week's episode I speak with Louise, who describes her experience of nipping to a friend's house for a quick coffee, someone she trusted, and how it took a malevolent turn.
She describes what happened to her, the aftermath, and how supportive her husband was, when many years later, she shared the news with him.
She also describes her experience of reporting historical abuse to the police and gives her advice to anyone who may have been in a similar position.
Thank you Louise. xx
