Every morning Amanda Stanhope woke up groggy, with no memory of the night before. Her fiancé would smile, wink and ask, “Did you have fun last night?” Amanda began to believe something was wrong with her mind. She was worried it might be dementia.
It wasn’t her memory. It was him.
In Part 2 Laura unravels the abuse Amanda was subjected to and Amanda reveals the mask moment his mask slipped, and what happened when she finally went to the police. Laura, who ran the Sexual Offences Section at New Scotland Yard and helped write the stalking and coercive control laws, breaks down what she sees in his behaviour, why the system keeps failing women like Amanda and how big of a problem men drug r*ping their partners really is.
