:00:44. > :00:46.just a photo, right? He scrdenshot it. It must be all over the place. I
:00:47. > :00:49.should have known. These locally made adverts lay be
:00:50. > :00:53.hard to stomach but they show what?s happenhng to
:00:54. > :01:03.some youngsters in Jersey. We know that it exists. We led an
:01:04. > :01:07.operation last year focused on a group of girls who were being
