THE
SHOCKING TRUE STORY BEHIND THE HIT TV DRAMA THREE GIRLS When detective Maggie
Oliver first discovered that children as young as 10 were being groomed, abused
and trafficked for sex by gangs of men in the Rochdale area, she felt like a
lonely voice calling for people to act. Banging on closed doors, it seemed that
nobody was able or willing to help her save these vulnerable girls, but she
couldn't just sit back while countless lives were being destroyed forever in
plain sight. Instead, she launched a one-woman campaign to bring down these
sickening gangs. This is the heart-breaking and shocking story of how the
actions of one determined detective secured convictions in what is now one of
the most notorious grooming cases in the UK. Along the way Maggie discovered
countless examples of how the authorities were letting down our most vulnerable
children. She blew the whistle, losing her job and at times her mind at times,
in a bid to stop others from experiencing the same. This is the first ever
account from a police insider on the endemic problem of child sexual
exploitation across the nation and how these cases are handled by the
authorities put in place to protect us. It tells the story of a woman brave
enough to speak out and a group of girls who found the strength to fight for
justice after having their lives completely shattered by their abusers;
together they show in shocking detail why this must never happen again.
