Episode 1 of Believe Me was an uncomfortable watch.
Sarah did everything asked of her, yet her case was dropped, leaving her attacker free to harm others.
This is something we still see in our wider work.
Believe Me continues tonight on ITV1 & ITVX.

The PSNI won’t rebuild public confidence through defensive commentary and nostalgia tours from retired officers.
‘I never heard misogynistic language’ is not the powerful defence some think it is.
Institutional culture is about what systems tolerate, miss or minimise, not whether someone personally overheard a bad comment in the canteen.
Maybe sit this one out @JonBurrowsMLA
Leadership means unequivocally facing up to the most difficult challenges.
It means listening, reading the room, and rising to the moment.
It is not leadership to downplay the poison of institutional misogyny, and the need to tackle it.
Tone-deaf arrogance from Jon Burrows.
Four PSNI officers who failed to investigate Katie's murder were allowed to retire. They were responsible for failing to treat her death as suspicious, failures in scene management, and neglect of forensic evidence. Now, 37 further victims have come forward. Horrific.
“37 victims, some as young as 9 have come forward.”
Immense respect for those who refused to let Katie’s death go un investigated.
Who challenged and pushed at every turn.
Damning report.

Robert Rhodes has been found guilty of murdering his wife Dawn eight years after being cleared of the crime - after their child gave new evidence. He was acquitted of murder in 2017 after claiming she had tried to attack him.
https://t.co/WN9aaLdw63
The retrial came after new evidence from Rhodes' child – disclosed during therapy – revealed how he coerced them into helping with a plan to kill her and injure himself to make it look like self-defence.
Libby Clark, of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said: "The new evidence that came from the child witness was profoundly shocking and showed just how much careful planning Robert Rhodes had put into murdering his wife.
"It is thanks to the immense bravery of the child in coming forward to explain exactly what happened that night that Robert Rhodes has finally been brought to justice for the murder of Dawn, something he mistakenly thought he could get away with.
"None of us can even begin to imagine what Rhodes has put the child through over a period of many years.
"Now though, as a result of their evidence, Dawn can now be remembered by everyone in the right way – as a victim of her violent partner."
@JonBurrowsMLA you have caused me a great deal of alarm and distress with you comment on my tik tok post then trying to deflect your comment. I am more than willing to sit down with you and discuss what’s written in the 2nd vrr which was commissioned by another force …
