Alicia's story: 'I was in fear for my life'

Available for over a year

On 1st January 2002, 13 year old Alicia Kozakiewicz left her family home and "simply vanished". The man who took her had spent months befriending her as she sat at home on her family computer. He imprisoned her, raped her and beat her. But Alicia survived, and now she works to raise awareness about the risks of the internet. In part two of an extended interview with Eddie Mair, Alicia described how she was abducted, imprisoned and tortured by the man who befriended her on the internet.
