Broadcaster Ruth Dodsworth not letting decade of domestic and coercive abuse 'define her life'
Thought of early release 'terrifying'
The 46-year-old said the thought of Wignall being released after serving less than half his sentence is "terrifying".: "My fear is that when he was initially sentenced, the judge told him 'you are a danger to your ex wife and children, and you are evil'."My worry is he will come out a far more dangerous person than he was when he went in and I am really scared about him coming out.
"It wasn't until my own children began to fear for my safety that I realised what was going on wasn't normal. "I thought it was the right thing to do to keep my family together, I didn't want my children to come from a broken home.""And then all of a sudden we're having all these professionals telling us that's not right, and everything we've known is pretty much gone."
