Catriona talks to fellow survivor Moya about what happened when she was groomed and assaulted as a 13-year-old.
Catriona talks to fellow survivor Moya about what happened when she was groomed and assaulted as a 13-year-old.
Like Catriona, it wasn’t until she was in her late teens that Moya realised that what she had gone through was abuse.
Moya isn’t her real name, but for personal reasons she’s chosen to go anonymous.
Just a warning that in part one, Moya talks in detail about the sexual abuse she suffered as a child aged 13, as well as issues around suicide and complications from an abortion. If you feel like leaving this part for another day, head back to the feed now and go straight to part 2 to find out how Moya copes now.
If you've been affected by child sexual abuse or violence, you can find details of organisations in the UK who offer help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
Presented by Catriona Morton, After is a 10-part series, featuring discussions between survivors of sexual abuse and assault about what happened to them and how they cope now.
Produced by Danielle Stephens. The Executive Producer is Clare Chadburn. It is a Wisebuddah production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.
