This is Episode 4 - Maggie was interviewed in her home in Altrincham in July 2024 where she opened up about her childhood in the suburbs of Manchester, her reasons for joining the police force as a 40 year old mother of 4, how she found herself tasked with investigating the grooming gangs in the Greater Manchester area and the failings she encountered by the GMP to tackle the gangs that ultimately led her to resign and blow the whistle on her former employers. In this episode, 5 years after Operation Span gets shut down, Maggie gets assigned to Operation Span - a grooming case involving two sisters “Amber” and “Ruby” (their names have been changed) who had been the victims of grooming in their early teens but had been let down repeatedly by the system. Amber had been arrested for being “a madam” and her younger sister Ruby - unbeknownst to her - had a foetus seized by the police following an abortion she had after she got pregnant by one of her abusers. Maggie talks about her role in trying to get the sisters on board to help out with the investigation and how again, the police failed the victims which led Maggie to resign from the job that she loved.
