Forced to have sex with strangers christina o’connor, 32, lost her childhood after she was groomed, beaten and trafficked

He left 50p beside my bed but what he took was worth so much more

As he planned our future, I was planning my escape

I bruised his ego so he scarred me for life

After getting justice I finally felt safe, but it didn’t last

I’d done the walk home many times... but someone was watching me

We looked like the ideal family but the reality was so different
