:00:08. > :00:13.This week, a woman whose testimony helped convict notorious Rotherham

:00:14. > :00:31.child abusers reveals her identity the first time.

:00:32. > :00:36.The child victims of Rotherham who stood up to the abuses, the woman

:00:37. > :00:42.who blew the whistle for years ago takes a brave step of revealing her

:00:43. > :00:47.identity. I am nervous, I am so glad, I am ready to move forward in

:00:48. > :00:52.my life. Also, the top sports coaches who say they would be better

:00:53. > :00:58.off abroad. In my experience, coaching, there is an element where

:00:59. > :01:01.it is expected but not enough. And later, fairies at the bottom of the

:01:02. > :01:06.garden, one of the great photographic hoaxes of the 20th

:01:07. > :01:13.century. They believe this is a genuine photograph? I do. My mother

:01:14. > :01:22.was honest. I think this is absolute proof she saw fairies.

:01:23. > :01:27.Child abuse victims often reluctant to reveal the identities and that is

:01:28. > :01:31.in the case the last four years for the Rotherham child abuse

:01:32. > :01:35.whistle-blower known as Jessica, but the first time she has now taken the

:01:36. > :01:43.brave step of revealing her identity and spoke to Amy.

:01:44. > :01:46.The girl known as Jessica has spoken to hundreds of journalists over

:01:47. > :01:48.the past four years but she s never shown her face.

:01:49. > :01:51.As a victim of sexual crime, she is entitled to lifelong

:01:52. > :01:53.anonymity but she has chosen to speak to me for the

:01:54. > :02:05.My name is Sammy, I ve been known as Jessica for 4 years now,

:02:06. > :02:10.Which I did that because I came forward as a victim who suffered

:02:11. > :02:14.from child abuse as a child and I came forward to try and raise

:02:15. > :02:18.awareness, but of course my main priority was to be safe

:02:19. > :02:29.How does it feel to be known as the real you?

:02:30. > :02:34.I m nervous, it was such a big move to make but I m so glad I m so ready

:02:35. > :02:38.to move forward in my life, I m ready to move in to my next

:02:39. > :02:47.Let s go back to your childhood, what kind of child were you?

:02:48. > :02:58.I was bubbly, confident, I loved to always be active,

:02:59. > :03:01.I loved dancing, I started dancing at the age of 4, that s all I really

:03:02. > :03:05.Sammy met serial child abuser Arshid Hussain

:03:06. > :03:14.He was talking to my friend and he said, do

:03:15. > :03:25.So we got in the car and we went to a flat.

:03:26. > :03:27.He had some friends there and one of his brothers.

:03:28. > :03:30.So I remember sitting in the car and he stroked my face

:03:31. > :03:33.and he said You re not really 16, are you?

:03:34. > :03:35.And I said No, I m 15. And he said No you re not.

:03:36. > :03:39.And I said OK then, I m 14. And then it was, yeah,

:03:40. > :03:48.Pretty much we were boyfriend and girlfriend from then on.

:03:49. > :03:50.Within a few days my parents found out, they weren t happy

:03:51. > :03:54.at all as you can imagine - he was 24, I was 14.

:03:55. > :03:58.As well as my parents knew of his reputation and they knew

:03:59. > :04:01.he was a person that I shouldn t be getting involved with

:04:02. > :04:03.and they contacted police and the police said that

:04:04. > :04:07.as I was consenting to it that there was nothing that they could do

:04:08. > :04:13.So he was a 24 year old man, the police said

:04:14. > :04:15.We can t do anything about this, she s consenting ?

:04:16. > :04:18.Yeah and as well he was extremely well known to the authorities,

:04:19. > :04:21.he was involved in just about every crime you can imagine.

:04:22. > :04:27.I wasn t the first or the last child that he was abusing and he was known

:04:28. > :04:32.Sammy s family were very unhappy about her new relationship.

:04:33. > :04:35.We found out pretty quick to be honest.

:04:36. > :04:41.I don t know whether it was the age gap but she become

:04:42. > :04:49.I was seen on many occasions with him by the police.

:04:50. > :04:54.There were times that I was actually found in bed with him half naked.

:04:55. > :04:59.Nobody really wanted to do much apart from my parents.

:05:00. > :05:05.I was going missing from home and school for days,

:05:06. > :05:08.weeks, sometimes even months at a time.

:05:09. > :05:10.Our relationship broke down really quickly.

:05:11. > :05:15.I saw my mum crying and my dad searching for her.

:05:16. > :05:17.It was just like she was completely brainwashed.

:05:18. > :05:19.There was times when I was having fun.

:05:20. > :05:31.We went to the cinema, went out for meals.

:05:32. > :05:34.It felt like a normal relationship with two adults.

:05:35. > :05:39.It was a few months later that he became

:05:40. > :05:48.He started hitting me and then it was on a daily basis.

:05:49. > :05:53.I knew I needed to get away from him but it was like a drug and I kept

:05:54. > :06:01.The kind of education we d had around paedophiles

:06:02. > :06:14.They were smartly dressed, they had flash cars.

:06:15. > :06:18.My parents put me in care thinking I d be safe but that

:06:19. > :06:29.The authorities said if he met me at the end of the street and had me

:06:30. > :06:35.back by 10 for school, he could have access to me.

:06:36. > :06:38.While in foster care, Sammy gave birth to her son by Arshid Hussain.

:06:39. > :06:43.Many years later, in 2016, Arshid Hussain, now in a wheelchair

:06:44. > :06:46.after a shooting, was finally sentenced to 35 years in prison

:06:47. > :06:49.for abusing many young girls over two decades.

:06:50. > :06:57.Ash is now doing time for what he did to you and many other children.

:06:58. > :07:06.It depends what frame of mind I m in.

:07:07. > :07:11.There s times when I still feel angry at him, there s times

:07:12. > :07:17.when I want to cry and then there s times when I think a part of me

:07:18. > :07:20.will always love him because he gave me my son.

:07:21. > :07:23.That s really difficult isn t it, he s the father of your child

:07:24. > :07:26.and there s always going to be that connection with him?

:07:27. > :07:33.In 2014, Rotherham made headlines all over the world as the scale

:07:34. > :07:36.of abuse that had taken place in the town became clear

:07:37. > :07:42.How did you react when you heard that number ? 1400 children victims

:07:43. > :07:50.I was saying from the beginning that there was a cover-up

:07:51. > :07:58.I kind of felt, in a way, that my name had been cleared

:07:59. > :08:06.Of the amount of men you know were involved in child sexual

:08:07. > :08:07.exploitation in Rotherham, how many of them

:08:08. > :08:16.There s still a long way to go but I think that now it s time

:08:17. > :08:20.We ve seen perpetrators held accountable and

:08:21. > :08:30.But I don t think any of us will be able to move forward ?

:08:31. > :08:32.or move forward as a town, until those professionals

:08:33. > :08:38.How many perpetrators do you think are still walking the streets?

:08:39. > :08:43.And I think unfortunately a lot of those will always remain

:08:44. > :08:50.There s going to be so many people get away with this.

:08:51. > :08:54.That s something that every single person that failed or that

:08:55. > :09:01.committed a crime has to live with for the rest of their life.

:09:02. > :09:03.These people were paid to protect these children,

:09:04. > :09:06.no matter where they were from, what agency they were from.

:09:07. > :09:09.What s the situation in Rotherham at the moment?

:09:10. > :09:19.I d love to be able to stop CSE but we never will.

:09:20. > :09:21.It s about reducing it, making it hard for paedophiles.

:09:22. > :09:23.Do you have any confidence that the authorities are dealing

:09:24. > :09:34.Let s face it, couldn t get any worse.

:09:35. > :09:37.The Operation Clover team have been brilliant with me and I now expect

:09:38. > :09:42.every police officer to reach that standard and it s not happening.

:09:43. > :09:59.The strength she s shown to educate people about this is amazing.

:10:00. > :10:04.How do you feel coming out as Sammy, not as Jessica any more?

:10:05. > :10:19.I feel like I can get on with my life.

:10:20. > :10:29.I think there are positive things to come for me and the rest of the

:10:30. > :10:33.girls. If you have any comments about nights programme all is the

:10:34. > :10:40.real we might like the couple, get in touch on Facebook or Twitter.

:10:41. > :10:42.Coming up, the girls who said they saw fairies at the bottom of the

:10:43. > :10:48.garden. Behind every Olympic medal winner,

:10:49. > :10:50.there s an outstanding coach. But now some top sports coaches

:10:51. > :10:56.in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire fear their work is being undervalued

:10:57. > :10:59.? and they could leave for It s a chilly Tuesday night in

:11:00. > :11:07.Bolton upon Dearne, near Rotherham. Young rugby league

:11:08. > :11:09.players are in training. It s like this at hundreds

:11:10. > :11:26.of sports clubs - as usual, Next minute, you are taking the

:11:27. > :11:27.session. I just enjoy giving something back to the sport that has

:11:28. > :11:30.given me so much. Dearne Valley Bulldogs have 13 teams

:11:31. > :11:32.and nearly 40 volunteer coaches. For most people, this is what sport

:11:33. > :11:43.coaching is all about. There is also volunteer coaching who

:11:44. > :11:46.have a big input in the future stars of this country.

:11:47. > :11:48.But, sometimes, amateur coaching isn t enough.

:11:49. > :11:49.Elite performers need top class coaches.

:11:50. > :11:51.And, in some Olympic sports, despite Lottery funding,

:11:52. > :12:02.there doesn t seem to be enough money to go round.

:12:03. > :12:05.In the Rio Olympics last year, City of Leeds divers Jack Laugher

:12:06. > :12:09.and Chris Mears won Britain s first-ever diving gold.

:12:10. > :12:16.It was a triumph shared with their coach, Adrian Hinchliffe.

:12:17. > :12:22.He has been key to making city of Leeds the top performance Centre in

:12:23. > :12:25.the country but after 24 years, you sleeping.

:12:26. > :12:27.When I broke the story Ady was going, it was clear

:12:28. > :12:32.there was anger and regret from the divers he d coached.

:12:33. > :12:39.He has his reasons for why he's leaving and I think to be honest, he

:12:40. > :12:41.has been forced to leave. I think it's a massive insult to him and his

:12:42. > :12:44.legacy. Ady leaves Leeds for an elite diving

:12:45. > :12:47.coach job in Australia next week. And he s got a farewell message ?

:12:48. > :12:50.he says we don t put enough value on full-time professional rather

:12:51. > :12:59.than amateur, coaches. I think British sport, my experience

:13:00. > :13:03.in British diving, there isn't an where it is expected, but not

:13:04. > :13:07.enough. People outside the sport will be surprised you got a

:13:08. > :13:11.full-time coach, your job is with the council? I know, it's the

:13:12. > :13:16.pick-up to get your head around. Apart from running be developed

:13:17. > :13:20.programme, the development, I have been tasked with managing and the

:13:21. > :13:22.after swimming and synchronised swimming.

:13:23. > :13:24.After his success in Rio, Ady wanted to coach full-time,

:13:25. > :13:29.so he had a meeting with British Diving.

:13:30. > :13:34.Unfortunately we had that meeting, it was just that money hasn't been

:13:35. > :13:40.allocated in other areas, other priorities, that have been prepared,

:13:41. > :13:49.there may be an opportunity, they were very much thinking it would be

:13:50. > :13:54.something they could do. How do you think they are valued by the powers

:13:55. > :13:56.that be? They are not rewarded enough, professional developer isn't

:13:57. > :13:59.considered enough, so I think there is something missing.

:14:00. > :14:02.So how do you encourage top-level professionals in a coaching industry

:14:03. > :14:06.A survey last year found 74 per cent of coaches in all sports

:14:07. > :14:09.across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are unpaid volunteers.

:14:10. > :14:14.In Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, there are nearly 170,000

:14:15. > :14:26.So is that the end of it? Or with the success in London and real,

:14:27. > :14:34.could others be set to follow? Sheffield-based Jessica Ennis-Hill

:14:35. > :14:36.became one of our most She won Olympic gold in the women s

:14:37. > :14:40.heptathlon in London, followed by a silver in Rio

:14:41. > :14:44.four years later. And her coach Toni Minichiello

:14:45. > :15:00.was with her all the way through. I got the coaching by accident

:15:01. > :15:05.really. I think there is a need at any sport for somebody to do the

:15:06. > :15:10.organising, and so forth, I think its last man standing, so basically

:15:11. > :15:13.I took the plunge and went full and gave up a job in the civil service

:15:14. > :15:18.and said, if you're going to work with people who can achieve at the

:15:19. > :15:22.highest level, if they are going to be training 30 hours a week, you

:15:23. > :15:31.better be around. So at some point you have two turn pro. I think I

:15:32. > :15:38.just need to stay back over and work on this. Was the turning point the

:15:39. > :15:41.Young Jessica Ennis-Hill? Definitely, that's where the

:15:42. > :15:49.opportunity came. I need a few more degrees. 2012, she wins the gold,

:15:50. > :15:55.everybody would think you would be a wanted coach? Planned change, every

:15:56. > :15:59.four years when lottery money is decided upon, it is given to the

:16:00. > :16:03.governing body, they use the money and shape their programme

:16:04. > :16:08.accordingly, after 2012 the changed the shape of their programme and I

:16:09. > :16:10.was surplus to requirements. The whole purpose of the run-throughs is

:16:11. > :16:12.Seppi shape... Since then, Toni has worked

:16:13. > :16:14.as a freelance coach. Following Jess s retirement he s got

:16:15. > :16:23.a group of young athletes. You just keep working, charge the

:16:24. > :16:28.athlete a bit of money but there are a few athletes here, they are at the

:16:29. > :16:32.cusp point whereby, if they put the hours and the time in, maybe they

:16:33. > :16:38.could make that transition to the top flight. You can either help them

:16:39. > :16:42.we can abandon them, what do you do? Have you had offers to work abroad

:16:43. > :16:47.in other countries? I had a couple of discussions. But whatever reason,

:16:48. > :16:52.it's kind of, it's not what I want to do.

:16:53. > :16:54.In Rio, Bryony Page won Great Britain s first-ever Olympic

:16:55. > :17:03.She s based in Sheffield, and I m about to watch her coach

:17:04. > :17:17.As well as working with Bryony, he s a university lecturer,

:17:18. > :17:19.teaching students who want to be coaches themselves.

:17:20. > :17:27.For his students, it s an unexpected bonus.

:17:28. > :17:35.In some sports, coaches get a lot more recognition, like football and

:17:36. > :17:39.rugby. You have coaches like Paul, with the success, gets minimal

:17:40. > :17:44.attention. I'm surprised there aren't coaches full-time. There is

:17:45. > :17:48.not a lot of money within high-performance coaching but at the

:17:49. > :17:53.same point, you could say, surely I should be coaching full-time, as it

:17:54. > :17:54.happens with my situation, I managing to juggle both but it is

:17:55. > :17:57.complex. Since Bryony s success,

:17:58. > :18:00.Paul s had job offers from abroad, and he s about to go to Australia

:18:01. > :18:04.on a three-week working trip. Bryony s hoping he

:18:05. > :18:11.doesn t decide to stay. He has been the backbone to

:18:12. > :18:15.everything, but a lot of effort in and pushed me on and has been

:18:16. > :18:19.through the highs and lows, he's always there for me when I need him.

:18:20. > :18:22.UK Sport told us they highly value coaches and are committed

:18:23. > :18:47.Meanwhile, top coaches are having to make decisions

:18:48. > :18:52.Paul Greaves is back from his trip to Australia.

:18:53. > :19:00.And he s settled on his future ? at least for now.

:19:01. > :19:07.I did think, the weather, the lifestyle, great opportunities over

:19:08. > :19:09.their, they do pay coaches well in Australia, but my roots are here and

:19:10. > :19:20.I love Great Britain so much. Now, once upon a time

:19:21. > :19:22.on the outskirts of Bradford, fairies were seen on the banks

:19:23. > :19:25.of a small beck at Lucy Hester investigates one

:19:26. > :19:30.of the great hoaxes of the 20th century which took place exactly one

:19:31. > :19:38.hundred years ago this year. It s a place where you can

:19:39. > :19:42.imagine magic happening. She got so excited

:19:43. > :19:46.she shouted to Frances, In the dark days of the Great War,

:19:47. > :19:53.a little bit of fairy dust was sprinkled here on the outskirts

:19:54. > :20:02.of industrial Bradford. In the summer of 1917,

:20:03. > :20:05.two young girls claimed to have taken photographs of fairies ?

:20:06. > :20:07.here at the bottom of The legend of the Cottingley

:20:08. > :20:16.fairies was born. It wasn't until the 1980s that one

:20:17. > :20:19.of the girls ? Elsie - by now well into old age -

:20:20. > :20:23.finally admitted how Sticky tape at the back, the fairy,

:20:24. > :20:35.and have managed to limit down. But one of the girls maintained

:20:36. > :20:38.throughout her life that one of the five fairy

:20:39. > :20:40.photographs was real. And her daughter

:20:41. > :20:41.is also in no doubt. Do you believe that this

:20:42. > :20:44.is a genuine photo of fairies? I do, my mother was honest,

:20:45. > :20:47.she always said she saw fairies and I think that this

:20:48. > :20:49.is absolute proof. This is Cottingley ? a small,

:20:50. > :20:57.quiet suburb of Bradford. Frances Griffiths and her mother

:20:58. > :21:00.came to live here in 1917 with her uncle and aunt

:21:01. > :21:02.and her older cousin Elsie. Her father had been sent

:21:03. > :21:05.to fight in the war. After school Frances would often

:21:06. > :21:08.play in the beck which ran along She loved it, she said

:21:09. > :21:29.it was very magical, peaceful. men coming down to the woods hopping

:21:30. > :21:32.across the beck and then But when Frances told her aunt

:21:33. > :21:36.and uncle that she had seen fairies at the bottom of the garden,

:21:37. > :21:39.she got short shrift. So her cousin Elsie hatched a plan

:21:40. > :21:44.to prove the adults wrong. She managed to fake up three fairies

:21:45. > :21:47.and two extra ones all dancing She painted and cut them out,

:21:48. > :21:56.In those days people wore very large hats so had large hat pins,

:21:57. > :22:02.she got the idea if they got one of these hat pins, we stick it

:22:03. > :22:06.on the back of the paper and stick it in the ground, it will look

:22:07. > :22:08.like they're dancing. They had to have hat

:22:09. > :22:12.pins about that length. If it had been later on,

:22:13. > :22:14.we couldn t have done it because they only stayed that long

:22:15. > :22:17.for a while. And so the first two fairy pictures

:22:18. > :22:24.were created in 1917. The first called the Fairy Ring

:22:25. > :22:26.featured Frances with The second had Elsie

:22:27. > :22:33.posing with a paper gnome. But it wasn't until three years

:22:34. > :22:36.later that the photographs caused worldwide headlines,

:22:37. > :22:39.when they came to the attention of the creator of Britain's

:22:40. > :22:46.most famous detective. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

:22:47. > :22:48.got involved, that was Beginning of the agony

:22:49. > :22:56.for my mother as well. It was never meant to get that far,

:22:57. > :23:00.but once they got into it, how In 1920 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote

:23:01. > :23:04.an article about the Cottingley fairies after they came

:23:05. > :23:06.to the attention of an associate Soon the whole world

:23:07. > :23:12.began to take notice. Conan-Doyle was just one of those

:23:13. > :23:15.people who very sincerely and very honestly believed in something

:23:16. > :23:20.which most people nowadays don't. Particularly in the period

:23:21. > :23:23.after the First World War when there is a lot of interest

:23:24. > :23:29.in spiritualism and a lot of people had lost loved ones,

:23:30. > :23:31.including Conan Doyle, What was it about the images that

:24:14. > :24:23.easy would it be to take a quick Almost impossible? it would require

:24:24. > :24:35.you to set up the shot. People asked afterwards why

:24:36. > :24:47.she wasn t looking at the fairies. It was because she could only

:24:48. > :24:50.see five bits of paper In 1920, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent

:24:51. > :24:55.two brand new cameras for Elsie and Frances to take

:24:56. > :24:58.more fairy photographs. Elsie had prepared two

:24:59. > :25:09.photographs, two fakes. One of them she had promised

:25:10. > :25:12.Gardner a leaping fairy, so she had manufactured one

:25:13. > :25:15.that was flying. An academic called Joe Cooper

:25:16. > :25:17.who lived in Leeds was fascinated by the fairies story and made

:25:18. > :25:21.it his business to get to know Did he approach it thinking it was

:25:22. > :25:29.real or a thinking it was a hoax? But around seven years

:25:30. > :25:48.after he first met Frances and Elsie, Joe Cooper finally

:25:49. > :25:51.discovered the truth. Accounts vary as to

:25:52. > :25:55.how that happened. I believe Frances confessed

:25:56. > :25:58.in Canterbury cathedral I can t imagine what that must have

:25:59. > :26:05.been like for my dad. But Frances told her daughter that

:26:06. > :26:08.Joe had actually read her secret She didn't realise what he was going

:26:09. > :26:15.to do but two weeks later the news broke that the Cottingley story

:26:16. > :26:23.was based on fakes. Joe Cooper subsequently wrote a book

:26:24. > :26:25.about the Cottingley fairies hoax which led to a definitive fall out

:26:26. > :26:28.with Frances and Elsie. But there was one thing

:26:29. > :26:33.on which he and Frances did agree. While both cousins agreed that four

:26:34. > :26:36.of the five pictures were fakes, they told completely different

:26:37. > :26:41.stories about the fifth picture ? Christine Lynch describes to me how

:26:42. > :26:51.she says the fifth and most She pulled out the lens to this

:26:52. > :27:02.distance and set the timing for it then she just clicked it

:27:03. > :27:09.and took the photograph. There is one on the left hand side,

:27:10. > :27:25.almost invisible. It's a wonderful, wonderful

:27:26. > :27:35.photograph. If it was examined with today s

:27:36. > :27:38.modern technology, maybe we d be But Michael Terwey from the media

:27:39. > :27:58.museum thinks there may be a more This looks like it might have been

:27:59. > :28:01.exposed twice the different scenes so those qualities of that image,

:28:02. > :28:09.which for some people made feel if the real and more authentic, as an

:28:10. > :28:12.image of fairies, is consistent with what we call double exposure.

:28:13. > :28:14.Do you believe that s a true photograph of a real fairy?

:28:15. > :28:20.And despite the fallout, Joe's family say he believed too.

:28:21. > :28:24.I don t think he had any doubt that it was real.

:28:25. > :28:26.One of his favourite phrases was It s not

:28:27. > :28:29.whether you believe in fairies, it s whether they believe in you.

:28:30. > :28:33.One thing's for sure ? even if the photographs were fakes,

:28:34. > :28:36.Frances Griffiths really did believe she had seen fairies down

:28:37. > :28:53.That's all from Sheffield. Join us next week. We will look at the
