Tricked into pregnancy? The Liv Nervo story
DJ Liv Nervo discovered her partner was leading a double life when she was six months pregnant. She says she would not have consented to sex had she known the truth.
Liv Nervo is one of the world’s most successful female DJs, who along with her twin sister, make up NERVO. She was starting a family with a man she believed was the love of her life - but at six months pregnant, she discovered he had been living a double life. She says she entered the relationship under false pretences and wouldn't have consented to sex had she known the truth about his other relationship.
What happened to her reveals an intense debate about consent, the law and a lesser-known form of domestic abuse called reproductive coercion.
