'I was groomed' The true story behind Corrie's shocking storyline

Today the government is announcing a package of measures to tackle child abuse - it follows news last week from the Office for National Statistics that sex crimes in Britain have soared by 20 per cent. Now, Coronation Street is tackling child grooming with a shocking storyline about a manipulative paedophile who lures 16-year-old Bethany Platt into his bed.

The soap worked closely with the NSPCC and a former victim, 'Lucie'. Groomed online when she was just ten years old, and abused until she was 16, Lucie joins us today to tell her story. She reveals how she hopes that meeting with the Corrie cast will raise awareness, and how she hopes it will be a warning to both parents and young people alike. We’re also joined on the sofa by Emily Cherry from the NSPCC.
