00:04There can be no doubt they have suffered as a result of Zoe's depraved actions.
00:08They have been extraordinarily brave.

00:15I hope that today's lengthy sentence will provide a small amount of comfort
00:19as they look to rebuild their lives.
00:22They can be reassured that Zoe will no longer be free to harm women
