When I delivered my victim impact statement after Maxwell's sentencing, I nearly shouted. I talked about my emotional health, my physical health, how this derailed my life. I wanted to project my voice so that no one in that courtroom could ignore what I was saying.

About 38,000 former students came forward to detail the mistreatment they were subjected to in what was later described as a policy of cultural genocide.

Richie Negron expressed his frustration, stating, 'I feel like they failed her. How is it that he could just hit my mom and not even get locked up?'

Video obtained by Crime World, which cannot be published for legal reasons, shows how McArdle smirked and engaged in an exaggerated high-pitched guffaw as Kelly-Ann's relatives challenged him over her manslaughter 26 years ago.

She was, she says, a block of stone. They were in the neurological ward of a huge hospital on the outskirts of Paris. Travelling on the Metro, the hospital name scribbled on a scrap of paper, it had taken Henderson an hour to find. Roderick looked comfortable when she arrived; he was a good colour, but there was a round red mark in the centre of his forehead and a small tube inside his mouth, attached to something she later learned was breathing for him.

"I'm not broken. I'm not fixed. I'm just different," trans Kentucky resident Dr Bobbie Glass, who endured conversion practices in the 1970s, told the group. "Conversion therapy did not do anything to get rid of my transness. It made me feel super ashamed. It made me depressed. It sent me into clinical depression and years of anti-depressants and suicidality."

Words such as 'relationship,' 'affair,' 'involvement,' or 'seeing each other' imply mutuality and consent. In the context of child sexual abuse, these implications are false. A child cannot legally or developmentally consent to sexual activity with an adult. Describing abuse using relational language risks distorting the inherent power imbalance and shifting perceived responsibility away from the adult perpetrator.

"I thought I was going to die in the street on this day." Moses describes the moment his health deteriorated to the point where he collapsed outside Victoria Station, having lived on the streets for several months. "I was there for maybe one hour on my knees with my suitcase, and crying in a lot of pain. I was broken." Moses now says he has found a "new family" at the Salvation Army church in Chalk Farm but is still trying to find a permanent home.
