The sender was a girl called Lauren; someone she knew of, but had never met. 'She was an ex-girlfriend of my former boyfriend,' Jessie recalls. What Lauren had to say chilled Jessie to the bone.
Jessie received a Facebook message from a former girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend, revealing that she and another woman had also been raped by him. This prompted Jessie, who had buried her own experiences of rape by the same man, to report the incidents to the police. The case was documented in the BBC program "Rape on Trial." Jessie, who met her abuser when she was 15, now recognizes the manipulative nature of their relationship.
