I am SO pleased to be able to report that the Anna Rowe petition to make catfishing a crime in the UK has now reached 43,726 signatures, over 100 more than last week.

Meanwhile new content on this site this week includes:

Why I identify SW as a groomer: I felt it was important to separate my story from more generic content on this site. So this post explains why this man’s behaviours are grooming rather than just slipping off his marriage vows.

There have therefore also been some generic changes to the ‘What is Adult Grooming?’ page. Your feedback and questions are welcomed.

On the subject of which, there’s also a new questions and answers page. Do feel free to submit any questions you have to AntiAdultGrooming@gmx.co.uk. (Update: page removed)

If you have stories to submit, please contact CAAGe. There will be guidelines coming soon.

And just to offset the seriousness of this, to prevent it all becoming doom and gloom, if you're on Twitter, do look up - and contribute to -  the #antigroomingplaylist. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for your support: let’s make the grooming of adults illegal and stop people going through what countless women (and men) have suffered.
