Caitlin Spencer – författare

Från det att Caitlin är 14 år kontrolleras hela hennes tillvaro av män. Hon blir utsatt för upprepade våldtäkter, försedd med alkohol och droger, såld och överlämnad i händerna på nya pedofilnätverk, om och om igen. Hennes förövare hämtar upp henne i skolan eller i hennes eget hem, inför hennes omedvetna föräldrar, för att föra henne till olika lägenheter, familjehem eller hotell där hon utsätts för hårresande och organiserade övergrepp.

From the age of 14, Caitlin was completely controlled, repeatedly raped, provided with alcohol, given drugs, sold and passed on to new gangs over and over again. The majority of her abusers were Pakistani men, who were blatant in their attacks upon her, often collecting her from school or home, to be taken to flats they owned, family homes, or hotels booked for the day, to be horrifically and systematically abused.At a time when the abuse ring realities of young white women in Rotherham and other major English cities are coming to light, Caitlin's story will appal readers - not just because of the degree of horrific attacks which were perpetrated upon her, but also because of the ways in which the authorities refused to act. Caitlin speaks openly about what she has suffered, and also shows just how unwilling many people are to face up to what is happening in our midst, for fear of being called racist. By bravely speaking out, she will, hopefully prove just how deep these problems are and just how the abusers get away with it in plain sight of the authorities.

‘I was trapped.I’d been raped so many times, abused by hundreds, if not thousands. They could have left every door open and it would have made no difference. And I always came back –they always brought me back.’From the age of 14, Caitlin was controlled, raped, sold and passed on to new gangs across the UK over and over again. Her abusers were blatant in their attacks upon her, often collecting her from school or home, to be taken to flats they owned, family homes, or hotels booked for the day, to be horrifically and systematically abused.Having finally escaped, Please, Let Me Go is Caitlin’s shocking story of abuse and survival.
