Caitlin Spencer is the author of the 2017 book Please, Let Me Go: The Horrific True Story of a Girl's Life In The Hands of Sex Traffickers, which recounts her experience with child sexual exploitation in the UK. For our series on the politics of survivor engagement, we sat down with Caitlin to ask about her book, the speech she gave on trafficking in the House of Lords, and her interactions with the far right both online and in person. An explanation of how we produced this interview can be found at the end.
Joel Quirk (BTS): By way of introduction, could you say a few words about how your book came about?
Caitlin Spencer: People close to me kept telling me I should write a book. Eventually I thought: “You know what? I’m going to do it.”
