The Outlook Podcast Archive - Why I met my rapist

When Carmen Aguirre was just 13 years old she was assaulted by a stranger in the woods near her home. It was during the summer of 1981 and the man was known as the 'paper bag rapist'. John Horace Oughton earned this grim nickname because he was known to cover children's heads with paper bags to prevent them identifying him. For Carmen it was an experience that affected her deeply. 33 years after it happened she took the decision to meet the man face-to-face in prison. (Picture: Carmen Aguirre.
