'I was weeks from marrying a violent serial rapist - my loved ones saved my life'

A woman avoided marrying her abusive partner after friends and family used a disclosure scheme and evidence to prompt police action — he was arrested four weeks before the wedding.
The man was later convicted of crimes against multiple women and jailed (16 years); his appeal and wider concerns about possible early release have been raised.
The survivor is rebuilding her life with counselling, a new home and plans for a family, and credits her support network for helping to save her.
