Available for over a year
Our interview starts with Qasa asking how long Patricia could be waiting on the streets for a client. The 36 year old - voiced by an actress - says she has been gang raped, attacked and abused while working as a prostitute in Cobridge, and even though she has reported the abuse to Staffordshire Police a couple of times, nobody in her case has ever been caught. Evidence from charity Brighter Futures shown to 麻豆社 Radio Stoke shows twenty cases of abuse against sex workers recorded since January 2012 by prostitutes. Staffordshire Police say they take every case very seriously and want more sex workers to report attacks to them.
