"Not only our family, but my daughter's friends and indeed the public at large. I fear for women that he might come into contact with."
Calling for an intervention from Mr Raab, Ms Parkes said:"I would ask him to check our case very carefully and see how absolutely nonsensical it is that Brown is being released halfway through his sentence when the Probation Service is so understaffed."I really have no faith in the Probation Service being able to do this."
