00:00and with that came a new family that moved in next door to the abuse the family that moved
00:07in next to the abuse had a little girl which sent shivers down my spine every time i saw her
00:13she was around the same age as i was when it first started she had dark hair and i remember
00:18one time
00:19seeing her when i was out playing with my friends and i looked to my left this little girl was
00:24sitting on his knee and the parents were sitting opposite just having a laugh and i remember just
00:28thinking you don't know what he's like you don't know what he could do that was the day that
00:33reinforced my light bulb moment to want to speak up and say something i was around 13 years old i
00:39went
00:39into school i marched up to my childhood friend that it also happened to and said i think we should
00:45tell somebody i went to the teacher and i said obviously can we speak to you please and we went
00:51together i said what would happen if a friend of ours was in bed with an adult so of course
00:58instantly
00:59i knew in her face she knew because she took us straight then to this other teacher and then it
01:04just rolled from there so quickly so fast they then got in touch with my mum because my friend's mum
01:10was
01:10at work so then of course they told her and she just said the words i'm gonna kill him from
01:16there they
01:17then told my mum that they will be making an arrest had to go to the court he's pleaded guilty
01:2510 years
