In 2014, Mullingar-based woman Hazel Behan was driving to work and listening to Ryan Tubridy on the radio. When he read out a listener’s email that touched her, she was inspired to write in and share her own story, in the hope of helping someone too.
Ten years before that, Hazel had been violently raped and falsely imprisoned while working as a holiday rep in Portugal in 2004. Nobody had been arrested for the crime and the 21-year-old had returned home to Ireland to try to live her life as best she could.
