Sarah Wilson is a survivor from the Rotherham grooming scandal. She's waived her right to anonymity and has been fighting for justice for 11 years.
She's been told two of her abusers could be released early from prison under the government's latest plans to ease overcrowding in prisons and is now fighting for sex offenders to be excluded from the scheme.
The government has defended the scheme, saying it will free up 7,500 prison spaces by 2028 following a capacity crisis that has led to several emergency release schemes since 2023.
