Lucy was kidnapped, gang raped - and then cruelly betrayed by the British justice system
- In 2011, Lucy Walsh was abducted by three men after a night out
- They raped her repeatedly, laughing when she cried out
- Two were convicted and sentenced; police are looking for the third attacker
- But the two successfully appealed and were given less prison time
- And one of them was granted British citizenship while in jail
- Fearful for her safety with an attacker still at large, Lucy has fled to Canada
That evening, in June 2011, she'd enjoyed a fun night with friends at a club in Preston, Lancashire.
When she decided to call it a night, and walked alone the short distance to a taxi rank outside, no one was concerned. It was something Lucy, and thousands of young women, do without thinking every weekend.
'The town was well-lit and lots of people were milling around, so I felt safe,' she says.Lucy's confidence was tragically misplaced, however, since two Kurdish men - Rezgar Nouri, 27, and Mohammed Ibrahim, 23 (a third - Araz Latif Najmaden, 21 - is still wanted in connection with the attack) had seen her in the nightclub and followed her out, and were caught by the club's CCTV cameras.
