This is Episode 5 - Maggie was interviewed in her home in Altrincham in July 2024 where she opened up about her childhood in the suburbs of Manchester, her reasons for joining the police force as a 40 year old mother of 4, how she found herself tasked with investigating the grooming gangs in the Greater Manchester area and the failings she encountered by the GMP to tackle the gangs that ultimately led her to resign and blow the whistle on her former employers. In this episode Maggie we hear about the devastating toll her experience on operation Span and her subsequent resignation took on her and the reasons that led her to blow the whistle on her former employers. She tells us about her role in bringing the scandal to the small screen in the BAFTA award winning drama “Three Girls” and why when she saw it for the first time, she was “devastated” and “mortified”. We also hear about her stint in the Big Brother House and her current focus, the Maggie Oliver Foundation - her charity dedicated to helping survivors of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation move on with their lives. https://www.themaggieoliverfoundation.com Producer: Ósk PétursdóttirNarrator: Lisa SnellVideographer: Monty VannEditor: Chelsey MooreProduction Manager: Vittoria CecchiniExecutive Producer: Jamie EastA Daily Mail Production: Seriously Popular Learn more about your ad choices.

Maggie Oliver: “Amber” & “Ruby”
This is Episode 4 - Maggie was interviewed in her home in Altrincham in July 2024 where she opened up about her childhood in the suburbs of Manchester, her reasons for joining the police force as a 40 year old mother of 4, how she found herself tasked with investigating the grooming gangs in the Greater Manchester area and the failings she encountered by the GMP to tackle the gangs that ultimately led her to resign and blow the whistle on her former employers. In this episode, 5 years after Operation Span gets shut down, Maggie gets assigned to Operation Span - a grooming case involving two sisters “Amber” and “Ruby” (their names have been changed) who had been the victims of grooming in their early teens but had been let down repeatedly by the system. Amber had been arrested for being “a madam” and her younger sister Ruby - unbeknownst to her - had a foetus seized by the police following an abortion she had after she got pregnant by one of her abusers. Maggie talks about her role in trying to get the sisters on board to help out with the investigation and how again, the police failed the victims which led Maggie to resign from the job that she loved.

Maggie Oliver: Operation Augusta
This is Episode 3 - Maggie was interviewed in her home in Altrincham in July 2024 where she opened up about her childhood in the suburbs of Manchester, her reasons for joining the police force as a 40 year old mother of 4, how she found herself tasked with investigating the grooming gangs in the Greater Manchester area and the failings she encountered by the GMP to tackle the gangs that ultimately led her to resign and blow the whistle on her former employers.
In this episode Maggie talks about her time in the Child Protection Unit and why - after initially being excited about joining - she quickly became disillusioned with it and felt that her skills would be better suited to working in serious crime.
Maggie also talks us through the heartbreaking time when her husband Norman was diagnosed with bowel cancer and how during the years she was caring for him, she began work on Operation Augusta, her first introduction to grooming gangs and her first brush with police failings to deal with them.
