'I am angry on behalf of the victims - and those we don't know about yet,' says Baroness Casey

Sophy Ridge speaks to Baroness Louise Casey, who authored the government’s rapid review of child sexual exploitation.

She says: "I am angry. I’m angry on behalf of the victims. I’m angry on behalf of the victims that we don’t know about."

Casey then recounts the case of a girl who was raped by multiple men on her 13th birthday, and explains that once someone is a teenager, "it makes it much harder to prosecute for rape".

Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
