Jean RitchieGUEST
In male prisons, no, there's lots of them.
Jean RitchieGUEST
But you have to remember only 6% of people in prison are women anyway.
Geoff ThomasHOST
And David's hand in the deaths of many, many, many Ambridge residents over the years came up during that.
Geoff ThomasHOST
LAUGHTER To the point where I'm now convinced that David and Ruth, in fact, are the Fred and Rose West of Ambridge.
Geoff ThomasHOST

Bobby CapucciHOST
We know from rape trials that the public imagination struggles to accommodate individuals who challenge stereotypes about sex offenders, whether it is the good-looking date who turns out to be a rapist or the socialite who facilitates a pedophile.

It's easier to believe terrible things about Rosemary West, a dumpy, working-class woman who helped lure girls into her husband's car and joined in his abuse of them, than an heiress who once rested her boot on the thigh of an entranced Boris Johnson.

Ryan McGownHOST
Now, There are some crimes that become attached to a place so completely that when you hear the name, that's all you can think of.

Ryan McGownHOST
Or in America, say Waco, and most people will immediately picture federal agents, armoured vehicles and a compound going up in flames.

James KayHOST
When you meet someone that you're eventually going to murder with, who has that conversation first? How does that arise? That you murder someone.

James KayHOST
How does that arise? We did it with Fred and Rose West, with the fucking, the Hindleys.
James KayHOST
Like, how does that happen?

JaneHOST
and the headline on monday october the 26th rose west tried to abduct me a mum has spoken of the horrifying moment she believes that she narrowly escaped being abducted by notoriously serial killer rose west in worcester when she was a teenager Jennifer Ashcroft was just 16 when she was approached by a woman with dark hair and thick glasses on a cold and windy day in Cranham Drive, Warnden Worcester in the early 1980s.
JaneHOST
Miss Ashcroft, now a 62-year-old author, has written about what she believes was the potential abduction attempt in one of her books, Slipping Through the Net, it's called, which reflects on her traumatic childhood in Worcester.
JaneHOST
Her book describes in vivid detail the harrowing encounter in the winter of 1981, a time when the disappearance of 15-year-old Carol Ann Cooper still cast a dark shadow over Worcester.
JaneHOST
Like Carol Ann, she also came from a troubled background, something she believed the Wests picked up on and acted upon.
JaneHOST
It was not until March 1994 that Carol Ann Cooper's remains were found.
JaneHOST
Fred and Rose West killed at least 12 women and girls between 1967 and 1987, including Carol Ann, known as Cass, whose grave is in Astwood Cemetery in Worcester.
JaneHOST
miss ashcroft is determined to find the grave which she believes to be unmarked so she can lay flowers there when the west murders came to light miss ashcroft realised the dark-haired woman with glasses who approached her as a teenager could well have been rose west The chilling realisation dawned on her following the discovery of some of the bodies of the West's victims in Cromwell Street in Gloucester, later dubbed the House of Horrors.

Mark Williams-ThomasGUEST
So, for example, Fred and Rose West, children were exploited within their own children.
Mark Williams-ThomasGUEST
They allowed other people to have sex with them.
Mark Williams-ThomasGUEST
So child exploitation has been around for as long as children have been around.
