Sammy Woodhouse was 14 years old when she met and was
groomed by Arshid Hussain. At 15, she became pregnant by him and
was coerced into committing a number of crimes, for which she was
unjustly convicted. Years later, after leaving her abuser and
realising that she had been a victim of grooming, Sammy told her
story to a journalist at The Times, kickstarting a national
investigation into Britain's grooming crisis that is still
ongoing. Now, she has waived her anonymity and campaigns for
“Sammy’s Law”, which would pardon survivors of child sexual
exploitation who have been criminalised for crimes committed
under coercion.
