Ruby, now 28, is one of the young girls who suffered sexual abuse by adults in Rochdale (England) in the 1990s. Despite the conviction of her attacker, she explains that the after-effects persist and that the problems are not entirely resolved.
In the police report, she is girl number 44. “I was 12 when it all started. It’s not up to me to move or change my life,” she says. "Between 20 and 30 men surrounded me and took turns raping me"
