Joanne Phillips' ordeal began aged 13 when she was gang-raped in
her bedroom by local boys. Following the trauma, she dropped out of
school, was befriended by an older man and was forced into
prostitution aged 16. Over the next six years, she was raped by
over 500 men, starved, beaten, and transported around the country
to brothels. Forced to have sex with men from all walks of life
including lawyers, stockbrokers, doctors, a parish councillor,
Joanne was even made to have sex with her former school headteacher
- who didn't recognise her. Every attempt to flee failed. Police
warned her mother and stepdad she had chosen the lifestyle and even
threatened to charge her parents with living off immoral earnings
if they allowed her to move back. Escape seemed impossible, until
one day she couldn't take any more. Just before her 21st birthday,
Joanne eventually escaped her enslavement. After being left alone
briefly in a London flat, where she was expected to work, she took
a chance after finding a bag of money and a handgun. Fearing for
her life, she fled into the night with nothing but a plastic bag of
cash. After catching a train to Northern Ireland, she found her
real dad and hid at his home from her pimp. Desperate to readjust
to normal life, she found a job and went on to study at university.
But when she tried to explain to a new boyfriend about her past, he
didn't believe any of it was true, so she vowed to keep the abuse a
secret - until years later, a conversation with one of her own
teenage daughters changed her life...
