WARNING: CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ASSAULT IS DISCUSSED IN THE FOLLOWING 2 PART PODCAST.

In the next 2 part interview with Mel we discuss her abduction & rape when she was only 9yo & how it took her 41yrs to share the trauma. We do not detail the sexual assault but what she shares is disturbing enough. Mel decided to do some googling in 2019 & what she found shocked her to the core. When she learned the man she'd never given herself permission to think much about was applying for parole after having served 33+ years for brutal sexual assaults & murder in the U.K, she couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

Janie's early life was moulded by abuse & feelings of abandonment which resulted in her leaving home at 15. She tried telling those close to her & the authorities, but it seemed no-one would listen or take her seriously. And in one instance, one of those authority figures took advantage of her vulnerabilities. But she never gave up. She is now a fierce protector of those who find themselves in a similar position to her as a young child/teenager & her lived experience gives her an intimate understanding of their struggles.
