“It was a bit strange when I realised I was the only girl but they said they didn’t need any others because I was so beautiful. They made me feel so special and let me drink whatever I wanted. After that I went to lots of parties. It was fun at the beginning but I didn’t know that they expected me to pay them back for clothes and drink with sex. I can’t remember how many parties I went to as I was so drunk or tried to forget. I just thought I’d got myself into this mess so I just had to deal with it.

Definition of Child Sexual Exploitation appears on the screen.
CSE is someone taking advantage of you sexually for their own benefit. Through threats, bribes, violence, humiliation, or by telling you that they love you, they will have the power to get you to do sexual things for their own, or other people’s benefit or enjoyment (including touching or kissing private parts, sex, taking sexual photos).
