Episode 78: The Crimes of Simon Mellors

Janet Scott had separated from her husband and was looking for love. She met Simon Mellors in a pub in Nottingham and became smitten. But Simon had a dark past that he kept secret in the beginning of their relationship. When Janet found out, she decided to stick by him, because his probation officer said he didn't think she was at risk.

But he was wrong. So very wrong.

This is Real.
