I'm Chloe Birkin and I'm in Rotherham.
00:03
I was 12 years old when I met him.
00:09
It was known to me through family.
00:14
He was a clown, he was a child's entertainer.
00:20
He worked with young children around birthday parties and school events.
00:29
He basically just grabbed my hand and put it onto his penis.
00:35
He never said anything to me and that's how it first started, the first time.
00:43
It went on for three years until just before I was 16.
00:50
I felt like I was grown up, like it was a normal relationship.
00:57
We went out together, we'd walk around town hand in hand.
01:02
He made me feel like we were together, like he loved me.
01:07
Lots of my friends knew, he wasn't concerned about them knowing.
01:18
Family wasn't aware at that time.
01:22
It wasn't until later on that it became knowledgeable to everyone else.
01:27
But yeah, my friends all knew at the time.
01:30
My oldest daughter turned 12 and I looked at her and thought, that's how old I was at the time.
01:41
I couldn't imagine her going through something the same.
01:45
He was still out there, he could have been doing it to anyone else.
01:49
I'd have felt partly to blame for that if he had done it to somebody else.
01:55
I could have put a stop to that.
01:57
It was difficult giving evidence. I did stand in court to give evidence.
02:05
I wanted to face him, I wanted to see him try and give his evidence.
02:12
I wanted to be in there for the verdict.
02:16
It was difficult but I had a lot of support behind me to go through that.
02:24
We got the outcome we wanted in the end.
02:28
Don't hide it, speak out. There will always be support there for you.
02:35
The police will believe you.
02:37
You will have support there all the way through court, all the way through the process.
02:42
It's not easy but you'll get there in the end and once you see him behind bars, it's worth it.
02:49
That's it.
