On The Case – Détails, épisodes et analyse

As a single father, the situation becomes too much for Marlon and he asks for Scarlett to be taken into care as he believes this is the only way to keep her safe. During her stay in some of the care homes, Scarlett encounters more predators and when she tries to report them, she isn’t believed.  Now aged 19, Scarlett is finally free of her groomers and her father Marlon is calling for a national enquiry into the grooming gangs that are terrorising the UK.

As Scarlett gets drawn deeper and deeper into her groomers clutches, she begins to go missing for weeks at a time.  Her dad Marlon, in desperation, spends his nights searching for his daughter.  He reports her missing to the police over 50 times in the space of a year but the police do nothing.  And when the police finally do get involved, she’s arrested and strip-searched when she’s only 14 years old.  Hosts: James Tozer and Liz Hull Producer: Osk Petursdottir Sound Design: John Scott Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini Executive Producer: Bella Soames Learn more about your ad choices.

When Scarlett West was 13 years old, she was a normal, horse-mad girl doing well at school with dreams of becoming a police officer until an incident that happened on Halloween where she was viciously attacked and set on fire changed everything. This event was the catalyst that saw her gradually drawn into the murky world of grooming gangs and the beginning of a nightmare for both her and her father Marlon.
