Episode Details

A fourteen-year-old girl’s convictions for carrying a stolen car, possessing an imitation firearm, and assault have been overturned after the Criminal Cases Review Commission found her prosecution was an abuse of process — she was a victim of child sexual exploitation and grooming. The case exposed systemic failures, revealing how she was manipulated, coerced, and emotionally blackmailed into sexual acts. The commission’s chair condemned the failure of protective systems, noting police ignored her vulnerability. Now, the Crown Prosecution Service agrees — and the commission is ready to support others who were wrongly convicted after being groomed, offering trauma-informed help through solicitors and charities. This is a historic moment for justice and accountability.
