   Brother-In-Law Turned Her Into Deepfake P**n | The Moment

   Sophie thought her home was the one place she was safe. Then a message from a stranger changed everything. It began with anonymous Facebook messages and a disturbing claim about someone she knew. Then came the images taken inside her own home. As Sophie searched for answers, she uncovered a secret that had been hiding in plain sight. Screenshots, messages, photographs and videos began to expose a double life involving someone within her own family. But that was only the beginning. Sophie discovered that intimate images of her had been created using deepfake technology and shared online without her knowledge. For years, strangers had been viewing and discussing fabricated sexual images of her while Sophie had no idea they even existed. Her privacy had been invaded, her identity violated and the place where she had once felt safest no longer felt safe. As the truth emerged, Sophie struggled to understand how someone she trusted could have hidden this behaviour for so long. Anxiety, sleepless nights and panic attacks became part of her life. But Sophie refused to stay silent. Sophie begins another fight, pushing for stronger protections against deepfake and image-based abuse and ensuring that other survivors are heard. What began with one message from a stranger would expose a devastating betrayal and change Sophie’s life forever. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

   Female Genital Mutilation Nearly Killed Me | The Moment

   Amani was just a child when one day changed everything. Growing up in Sudan, she was subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM) before she was old enough to understand what was happening to her. For years, Amani lived with the consequences in silence. She didn’t understand why her body was different. Why she struggled to urinate. Why intimacy was painful. Or why something she had been told was normal had left her carrying so much anger and shame. Then, one day, a biology lesson revealed a truth she had never known. As Amani grew older, she began to understand what had happened to her and the lasting impact it had on her body, relationships and sense of self. Becoming a mother gave her the motivation to confront her past and take back control of her body. Then came a decision that would change everything. A life-changing procedure. A new beginning. And the moment Amani began to reclaim her confidence, freedom and power. Now, Amani is a student nurse and mother, sharing her story to raise awareness of FGM, challenge the stigma surrounding it and help other survivors feel less alone.

   Can a convicted human trafficker also be a victim of the system? In this gripping episode of 'Aftermath', Daisy Maskell sits down with Glodi for an exclusive long-form interview tracking his journey from a vulnerable 14-year-old run-away to a landmark Modern Slavery Act conviction. At just 14 years old, facing extreme isolation and homelessness, Glodi was targeted and recruited by an organized criminal network into the dangerous world of UK County Lines drug dealing. Shipped away from London to a stash house in Hastings, his search for safety quickly devolved into a cycle of brutal violence, narrow escapes, and severe institutionalization. From surviving a near-fatal knife ambush in Portsmouth that left him permanently scarred, to being woken up by a morning police raid facing unprecedented human trafficking charges under the Modern Slavery Act, Glodi shares the unfiltered reality of a life behind bars. Now a personal trainer, podcaster, and youth mentor, Glodi breaks his silence to pull back the curtain on the trauma of prison, the reality of living with severe PTSD and anxiety, and why he is desperate to stop the next generation of vulnerable young boys from glorifying street life.

    Killer Of My Four Children Could Be Released

    What happens when a controlling partner cuts off all contact and completely vanishes with your children? In this devastating episode of 'Aftermath', Daisy Maskell sits down with Michael Tranter, a grieving father breaking his silence for the first time in a long-form video interview to uncover the dark reality behind one of Britain's most shocking family massacres. In 1995, Michael arrived at his ex-partner Lesley’s house for a weekend visit, only to discover she and his four young children: Sarah Jane, Anne Marie, Stephen Paul, and Craig Jonathan; had vanished overnight without a trace. In an era before social media and mobile phones, they completely fell off the face of the earth. For five agonizing years, Michael frantically searched for his kids, unaware that Lesley had remarried a highly manipulative, controlling man named Lee Ford. The horrifying truth finally unraveled in October 2000. Following a missing person's report, a grim police forensic search exposed a monstrous crime hidden on a Cornwall property. Lee Ford had brutally murdered his wife and systematically drugged and strangled his four stepchildren, hiding their bodies under a pile of logs in a woodshed and buried deep inside a potato field. Now, with Lee Ford approaching parole eligibility and the very real threat of him walking free, Michael shares his ongoing torment, the catastrophic failures of social services safeguarding, and the public petition fighting to keep an evil predator behind bars for life.

    Every Parent's Worst Nightmare

    Imagine your child stepping outside for a pizza and never returning. In this heartbreaking episode of 'Aftermath', Daisy Maskell sits down with Nikki Knight, mother of 15-year-old Mason Rist, for her first long-form video interview exposing the reality behind the brutal Bristol double murder that shocked the nation. On Saturday 27th January 2024, an ordinary night in South Bristol turned into an absolute nightmare. After leaving a gaming session at a mates house to walk down the road for food with his friend Max Dixon, 15 year old Mason was ambushed in a horrific case of mistaken identity.

Now, months after the trial concluded with life sentences and historic convictions, Nikki breaks her silence. She opens up about the trauma of facing the court, the severe lack of social services safeguarding, and the ongoing torment of watching the killers shamelessly brag and post rap videos from inside their prison cells.Nicki has set up a charity in Mason’s name to support young people who need help.

    Blackpool Guest House Murder: Sasha's Sister Breaks Silence

    What happens when a teenage girl vanishes on her first day of work? In this profound episode of 'Aftermath', Daisy Maskell sits down with Gemma - the sister of 16-year-old Sasha Marsden - who shares details of the horrifying Blackpool guest house murder that shook the UK. On 31 January 2013, 16-year-old childcare student Sasha Marsden arrived at a seafront guest house in Blackpool for her first shift as a cleaner. When her parents pulled up to collect her at the end of the day, she was gone. Her employer claimed she had already left - but the devastating truth was unfolding in a narrow alleyway nearby, where a burning body was discovered hidden in plain sight. What followed was a frantic police investigation that traced Facebook messages to 23-year-old caretaker David "Demon" Minto. After a forensic sweep exposed a massive cleanup job using luminol, investigators uncovered a chilling web of lies, missing evidence, and a blunted kitchen knife that finally nailed a predator. Ten years later, Gemma breaks her silence to talk about the trauma of the trial, the failures of the justice system in protecting young women, and the solemn promise she made at her little sister's graveside.

In this episode, Daisy Maskell sits down with Lisa Squire for an intimate conversation about grief, justice, and the fight for change. Lisa talks us through the harrowing timeline of Libby’s disappearance, the investigation into serial sex offender Pawel Relowicz, and the shocking gaps in the legal system regarding non-contact sexual offences. The most powerful moment comes as Lisa reads out the private letter she wrote to Libby’s killer. An emotional address that has never been shared with the public until now. Compassionate Friends are a wonderful charity that help bereaved parents - https://www.tcf.org.uk/ 'It Does Matter' was set up alongside Thames Valley Police as a campaign following Libby’s murder but has now become a charity with Lisa as a trustee - https://www.itdoesmatter.org.uk/ Some archive material used in this episode is included under fair dealing for the purposes of criticism/review and / or quotations (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988).
