Sammy Woodhouse

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Sammy Woodhouse wants the law allowing rapists to have contact with their children changed. She started a petition last week and more than 200,000 people have signed it already. Sammy was a victim of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham and was 15 when she became pregnant by her attacker. She’s waived her anonymity twice: once about the rape, and now in connection with her rapist being offered the chance to apply for parental rights. She talks to Jane Garvey about her situation.
