Just wondered if anyone was watching.

Really, really humbling.

I've been having a tough time recently but this has put it into stark perspective.

She's such a strong, articulate, insightful girl.

I hope her attacker goes away for a very long time. Poor girl. She is very brave.

jennylindinha · 29/10/2009 21:42

Totally agree. Am sitting here in tears watching this, poor girl. What an ordeal.

Meglet · 29/10/2009 21:43

yes, she is so lovely. She was on the news tonight and came across really well.

kid · 29/10/2009 21:44

I'm watching this too, poor girl.
The tears are flowing watching her cry at their sentence.

Wonderstuff · 29/10/2009 21:44

Think her mum is wonderful.

Oh I'm so glad they've both been put away.

The ex in particular sounds mentally unstable so hopefully he'll not get out early.

What an amazing and inspirational girl she is. Beautiful on the inside too.

SlackSally - it really does put things into perspective doesn't it?

I really wish her well for the future.

TheMummyonElkStreet · 29/10/2009 21:50

i also think she's still beautiful. absolutely not saying that in an overly sentimental way - i really think she's still a pretty girl. She just needs to believe it too

Wonderstuff · 29/10/2009 21:51

Wonder if she is related to Billie? Looks similar in the shopping channel stuff..

16 years for 2 life sentences doesn't seem enough time? Least she doesn't have to worry about him for a while.

MaureenMLove · 29/10/2009 21:51

She is still so pretty though, don't you think?

She's amazing.

duckyfuzz · 29/10/2009 21:52

she is amazing, I heard her on womans hour earlier this week, weds I think, very strong woman

bodycolder · 29/10/2009 21:52

Her family are amazing

HerBewitcheditude · 29/10/2009 21:54

She is amazing isn't she?

It sounds so trite and wanky to say it, but there is something incredibly attractive about her. Her whole manner is that of a beautiful woman and when you look at her and listen to her, you're watching and listening to someone beautiful.

JesusChristOtterStar · 29/10/2009 21:58

you are right
i find it quite tear jerky

I thought that too (that she was in fact still beautiful).

I think what makes me more angry than the physical damage they've done is how terrified she is of the outside world. That's so, so unfair.

She is so lovely, it is tragic and humbling.

MaureenMLove · 29/10/2009 22:01

In all the trauma she's going through and still she pulls her top down over her bum, because you just know she's thinking, 'oh my god, my arse must be such a sight!!'

I love her!

BratleyEatsBrainsForBreakfast · 29/10/2009 22:03

She is an absolutely amazing person.

I felt so humble watching that program, and a bit embarrassed for being so vain about my adult acne! It doesn't even come close to what Katie has to deal with.

What a really beautiful person she is.

satonthesofa · 29/10/2009 22:05

What an amazing woman. She was so eloquent. Very humbling.

Actually, I'd like to revise my OP. She's not a girl, she's a woman. In fact, she's older than me. Definitely don't want to disrespect her.

She was mesmerising - a strong and wise head on young shoulders.

Louby3000 · 29/10/2009 22:11

Totally amazing. What an inspiration, she has a whole career ahead of her as a mentor and inspirational speaker i think.

DuelingFanjo · 29/10/2009 22:51

Am watching this now on +1. Am really irritated by the man in the airport (I think it was an airport, maybe a shopping centre) who mouthed 'What the fuck was that?' when she walked by.

I hope he is watching and I hope the is ashamed.

PeterDominic · 29/10/2009 22:51

she hasa great voice and is really fun.
saw her on south today

satonthesofa · 29/10/2009 23:16

I felt that the camera lingered on many of the onlookers, and rightly so. The make-up department staff in John Lewis, i hope they were watching the prog.

I'm sure she will go and acheive things in life (not patronising)
