In this gripping episode, we delve into the harrowing story of Keira, a young woman from Beeston, Nottingham, who bravely shares her experience of grooming and abuse at the hands of a local shopkeeper, Harry Shankar. Keira recounts the manipulation and threats she faced, which led to a prolonged period of suffering and injustice. Despite reporting the crimes, the legal system failed to deliver adequate justice, leaving her abuser with a mere suspended sentence.

We explore the broader context of grooming scandals in the UK, emphasizing that such crimes are not limited to any single community. The episode highlights the systemic failures that allow predators to escape with minimal consequences and the impact this has on victims like Keira.

Our host, driven by a personal connection to the community and a desire to seek justice, takes us through the investigative process, including the use of private detectives to gather evidence against Shankar. The episode culminates in a dramatic confrontation, aiming to hold the perpetrator accountable and provide Keira with a sense of justice.

This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of community vigilance and support for victims of abuse, urging listeners to take action and support efforts to bring justice to those who have been wronged.
