NSPCC calls on government to ‘Close the Loophole’

• Currently sports coaches, faith leaders, and cadet leaders are legally allowed to have sex with 16 and 17-year olds in their care
• Survivor bravely recalls experiences in a letter to the Lord Chancellor as review into the positions of trust law is due to be released
• Thousands of people, MPs and national organisations have thrown their weight behind NSPCC’s Close the Loophole campaign

A woman who was manipulated into having sex with her swimming coach when she turned 16 has urged the UK Ministry of Justice to extend the law to protect teenagers from predatory behaviour by those in a position of trust.
