   Number 3: Coming Soon: Groomed – Control, Coercion, and the Cold-Hearted Killing of Showjumper Katie Simpson

   Groomed, a shocking new eight-part podcast series from Crime World, unveils the brutal truth behind the death of 21-year-old showjumper Katie Simpson, initially staged as a suicide but later revealed to be rape and murder at the hands of Jonathan Creswell, a 36-year-old with a history of controlling and abusing women. This narrative plunges into the dark world of a charismatic yet deeply depraved horseman who cultivated a cult-like control over multiple women, including Katie, her sister Christina, Jill Robinson, Hayley Robb, and Rose De Montmorency Wright. Despite a history of violence, chillingly previewed by the abuse of a former partner, Olympic showjumper Abigail Lyle, Creswell remained untouchable within the privileged equestrian community. It took the relentless efforts of a determined journalist and others to expose the truth, even as Creswell’s own dramatic suicide during his murder trial left his accomplices to face justice alone. Nicola Tallant and the Crime World team talk to journalists and investigators, as well as Katie's friends and Creswell's victims, to investigate just how such a violent individual was allowed to hurt so many people, and why he almost got away with murder.

   Number 4: Groomed: Episode 9 - Legacy of a Showjumper

   Jonathan Creswell's suicide denied Katie Simpson's loved ones the opportunity for a murder trial. Despite Creswell’s death, the subsequent sentencing of three co-conspirators—Jill Robinson, Hayley Robb, and Rose De Montmorency-Wright—for charges related to the cover-up allowed the judge to confirm that Creswell was a "skilled and predatory abuser" with an "established pattern" of abuse against women.
