Traumatised rape victims sickened after attackers were allowed to send threatening hand-written letters to them at home from their cells

Rape victims were left traumatised after their attackers sent them threatening letters from their prison cells.

Nicola Richardson and Jemma Myhill received ‘hostile’ letters written by their rapists while they were in prison.

Last night the women, who have waived their right to anonymity, said they had been failed by a flawed victim protection system which should have kept them safe.


Miss Myhill, now 19, was raped and sexually abused by her 44-year-old uncle Darren Myhill between the ages of eight and 16.

Her attacker was jailed in March 2013 after admitting 22 charges of rape, indecency with a child, indecent assault and incitement against five children.

Like these poor women haven't suffered enough.....................

I thought that prison officials were supposed to check all outgoing and incoming mail?
Ridiculous!

Seems like people are not doing their jobs properly doesn't it?

How the hell were they allowed to get away with that!
