蜜芽传媒

On 1st January 2002, 13 year old Alicia Kozakiewicz left her family home and "simply vanished". The man who took her had spent months befriending her as she sat at home on her family computer.

He imprisoned her, raped her and beat her.

But Alicia survived, and now she works to raise awareness about the risks of the internet.

Alicia spoke to Eddie Mair about her childhood before New Year's Day 2002, how she was befriended by a man online, how he abducted and imprisoned her, and her work on internet safety since being freed.
