I escaped a grooming gang - Cut To The Crime

13-year-old Leona Whitworth was a particularly vulnerable child. However, she had her ‘best friend’ Amanda Spencer, 18, not knowing Amanda would snare her into a depraved child sex ring. Leona was traded and sold to paedophiles up and down the country and it wasn’t until years later that Spencer was finally arrested. Leona now helps local authorities to recognise the signs of grooming. When a new client comes into James Busby's hair salon, all he knows is their name, never their story. As the contributors have have their hair washed, cut, and styled, we join them on a gripping journey of powerful discovery. This is the series that gets under the skin of how young people are deeply affected by crime, in a familiar setting to us all.
