Undefeated

"You might have thought I would run for my life, scream at the top of my voice, smash the nearest window. But I was beaten and broken and I could take no more..."

When Sam was only 12 years old, she was groomed online by a man who went on to sexually assault and rape her. Weeks later, she fell into the clutches of a paedophile ring and was raped repeatedly by a gang, only one of whom faced justice.

It could have been a series of events which broke her but Sam channeled her pain, rage and devastation at the failures in the judicial system into a campaign for change.

Over and over she refused to take no for an answer, demanding more support and understanding for grooming victims as well as harsher sentences for abusers.

Sam has battled back from unimaginable tragedy and devastation in her personal life to fight for change, not just for herself but for the countless victims of abuse still out there.
