Hey, it's Mike.

Today we bring you the fourth episode of the extraordinary story of Julia,

a woman who escaped modern slavery right here in the UK.

If you haven't listened to the first three episodes, then I suggest you go back,

listen to those in order and then click this one.

A warning before we start, this series includes references to suicidal thoughts and

descriptions of sexual exploitation and violence, so take care and listen.

It's the morning of the 24th of February 2022, about a month after Julia's

exploiters began their prison sentences.

She's on the bus home after a long night shift, absolutely shattered,

when her phone vibrates in her pocket.

They bombed me in Iowa.

30 miles were my daughter in the village.

This is BBC News, I'm Lucy Hawkins, our top stories.
