In this gripping episode of the H.J. Talks About Abuse podcast, Alan Collins, head of the abuse team at Hugh James, delves into the harrowing case of 20 men convicted of sexually exploiting young girls in West Yorkshire. While the details of the crimes are distressing, the focus is on the significant courage shown by the survivors who came forward, leading to these convictions.
Alan highlights the systemic failures that allowed such exploitation to occur, emphasising the vulnerability of the victims, many of whom were let down by the systems meant to protect them. The episode also discusses the legal processes involved in seeking justice and the critical role of compensation in helping survivors rebuild their lives.
Join us as we explore the broader implications of these cases and the importance of recognising the resilience of survivors who have bravely navigated the criminal justice system to hold their abusers accountable.
