An Au Pair in London: Episode 432

Always True Crime

About this episode

Like so many before her, Sophie Lionnet, from Troyes in north-east France, had moved to the UK to improve her English, and she took up a job as an au pair in south-west London. At first all was good and she made many friends. But then the toxic nature of the couple who employed her led to her life becoming a total nightmare. Sabrina Kouider and Ouissem Medouni put Sophie through an experience of utter terror, which ended in the most shocking way.
