Sex abuse survivor, 41, who is too terrified to walk to the shops because her ex is still tormenting her from behind bars 'feels trapped in her home'... and can't move because 'she can't get funding t
A sex abuse survivor has lost all access to safeguarding in her home - despite her dangerous former partner's impending release from prison. Gemma Willis, 41, was subjected to terrifying and degrading assaults from her partner between 2014 and 2017. She said: 'Me and my son feel trapped in our home, I daren't even walk to the shops because when I do I suffer abuse from Richard Ridley's friends. Then Ridley began posting social media messages from prison, bragging about the easy life he was having in HMP Holme House, Stockton-on-Tees. Ridley was released in February last year and within a fortnight Gemma started seeing concerning activity on social media.
