Britain's Darkest Taboos

A Twins' Story: Our Uncle Raped Us (3x8)

: 04, 2014

Identical twin sisters Rachel and Tracy were raped by their uncle John McCallum when they were just 5-years-old. The abuse lasted over a period of eight years until they were 13. The sisters' lives were ruined by the abuse but in 2012 they broke almost 30 years of silence and told each other what had happened. Courageously, they went to the police and their uncle was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison. This is the journey of two young girls who had their childhood's stolen, but through the strength of their relationship managed to get justice in the end.
