Faustine Petron's ex went to prison after he started abusing her at 16. She's now launched a campaign to better sex education in schools.
Abusers all seem lovely at first I had just started my first year at Cambridge University when my ex boyfriend was sent to prison. We’d met almost five years before, at college, when I was 16. The first four to five months of our relationship were fine – but abusers all seem lovely at first. Things changed. He wanted to know where I was all the time and demanded photographic proof. He would check up on me unannounced, turning up at work or when I was with my friends to ensure I was where I said.
The idea of someone wanting to look at your phone, wanting to know where you are – these can sometimes be presented within peer groups as someone really liking you when there can be a more sinister motivation to it. Education is not just meant to inform but to prevent – to stop anyone, and boys in particular, from becoming perpetrators themselves.
