Like many people struggling with loneliness after the breakdown of a relationship, retired dentist Simon Frost from Soham, turned to the internet looking for company, friendship and possibly love, but it didn’t work out as he’d hoped.

Sadly, Simon’s story is all too common.

Anthony Burn, 59, is a “manipulative predator” who sexually abused multiple young children for nearly 40 years.

Burn befriended families in Huntingdon and elsewhere, before gaining their trust and targeting their children. In July last year he was jailed for a minimum of 20 years.

In this podcast we speak to DC Kev Foxcroft about the investigation, and we hear from one of the victims who bravely agreed to share her experiences.

At birth, Megan Gwynn weighed less than 4lbs, had suffered a burst bowel and only survived thanks to emergency surgery at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. She had also been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a condition that causes damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs and shortens life expectancy.

Despite this, and her own concerns, Megan recently achieved her ambition of becoming a police officer. We spoke to her about how she has overcome all life’s hurdles, and our own HR expert Phillipa Moodie who explains what is takes to be a police officer.
