No to Sex is not Sex, it’s Rape - Tegan Parsons

Warning: Please be aware that this episode contains details of sexual violence and self harm that you may find distressing. Also be aware that this episode contains explicit language. My Second Chance podcast guest booker, Tegan Parsons, shares her own story. It’s a reminder that no matter how much you think you might know someone, or things about that someone, you never really do. Her descriptive details of being groomed and raped, when she was a teenager, is horrific. These are not comfortable conversations to have but they are vitally important. Statistics show that 90% of victims of sexaul assualt know the offender. And like in many other cases of sexual violence, her perpetrator was never brought to justice. Tegan is not a victim, she has been empowered by her experience and by sharing her story we hope it will provide an insight that will empower individuals to share their experience, educate and protect others. Links: https://www.supportline.org.uk/problems/rape-and-sexual-assault/Statistics about sexual violenceNature of sexual assault by rape or penetration, England and WalesSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

Award Winning Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
