Overview

• Kniveton recounts in the ITV film that her ex-husband Andrew Griffiths repeatedly raped her in her sleep and screamed abuse at their newborn daughter.
• A 2021 family court judge found Griffiths guilty of rape and physical abuse, and a 2024 ruling barred him from direct contact with his child while he continues to deny the rape allegation.
• She describes how Griffiths weaponized his status as an MP to intimidate her, warning “nobody would believe you” because of his strong police connections.
• The documentary reveals how he prolonged her trauma by using family court proceedings against her for five years after their separation.
• Kniveton’s revelations have prompted the Ministry of Justice to review its Pathfinder pilot reforms in private law cases to address systemic failures in protecting domestic abuse survivors and their children.
