Anneke Lewis
Jul 15, 2022
Anneke Lewis is a former child sex slave who tells Ed about how she was raped, tortured and almost stabbed to death after being sold into an aristocratic paedo network in Belgium at the age of six.
Of her time she says "Children were killed in the most brutal way because members were afraid they would speak out.
“And to make it worse, the abuse was from politicians and officials the public had put their trust in."
“I’ve had to use my inner strength to cope with the horrors of those years of abuse. I have to try to cope for the sake of my daughter.”
Anneke has also started a petition to raise awareness about trafficking which has attracted 88,000 signatures, it's target is 90, 000.
Belgium is still haunted by a paedophile scandal that shocked the world when it was uncovered in the 1990s.
50 years later, Anneke has managed to put her life back together, but the threats against her speaking out have continued in the intervening decades.
