I went with so many guys, probably thousands and thousands. Would
you make them wear a condom?
When you're rattling and you're desperate, you just kinda go to any level, any depth. Most people just want sex, but then you do get weirdos. Gently at first he kept saying harder and harder and harder till I was really stamping on him.
They asked you to piss on them.
Yeah, in the mouth, in the face. I was pretty shocked at that, but he paid me so I did it. When I was a teenager used to get pulled a lot, me and my friends in school uniforms and used to pull up and ask us for business.
Fucking hell, say even your school uniform?
Oh yeah. While he was having sex with me he started hitting me in the face. Then he started strangling me. He meant business. He really wanted to hurt me or kill me. I've been robbed, I've been sexually assaulted numerous times. He just dragged me back by me earth and started beating me. I was interrogated for hours by CID.

So You spent thirteen years or so selling yourself for as little as twenty pound a time.
Of course.
We're going with a big question before we go back and work out how you got there. But how does how does that become normal behaviour?
When I used to go down there, I'd always be under the influence. I couldn't not be. And say if I couldn't afford to be off my head with crack or tablets, I'd buy a couple of black cans. Saw That I wasn't able to feel anything. And in time I was able to detach myself from my body.
Okay. So you use substances to clock out from the job you were doing. But I'm I'm assuming you were doing the job to feed the habit
of course, yeah.
As well. So just in case people haven't Connected the dots. You was a street prostitute for thirteen years. Not you wasn't working from a base or a brothel. It was and also it's important to point out that you were actually work in the streets of one of the most dangerous places in the UK.
Yes.
So there's lots to unpack. But let's let's go back to the beginning. What did life look like for you growing up and what was your dad like?
Oh, life of me growing up. Uh grew up in a council house. Um, mother, single mother. Well, my dad was thrown out by the time I was five. I do have memories of him being home, which are not very nice. Uh lots of domestic violence. Um mother and baby refuges, that kind of stuff. Um And screaming and shouting. That's that's my earliest memories, really. Um my dad was chronic alcoholic in and out of prison. Um and obviously, like I said, it was abusive to my mum and to us as well. I don't always like speaking ill of the dead, but that's just the truth of the matter, he was. Quite cruel and ruthless at times. Uh what was he
in and out of prison for?
Beg or razor.
Right.
So he would burgle houses and he would burgle our house as well. So my mum worked hard and she would take us somewhere like Pontins, come back the house had been robbed, he knew that we were out and um I remember once a neighbour Saw him doing it but he wouldn't tell the police.
