DETERMINED to nail the monster who had raped her, Sam turned on her phone and started to video the dingy flat where he attacked women.
She also recorded a conversation with another of Nuruzzaman Shahin’s victims in the hope it would help police put him behind bars.
And after five months of being terrorised by Shahin, 40, Sam finallywent to the cops for help, armed with films that proved she had been in his lair.
Yet her efforts were almost all in vain after police LOST her interview tapes – and claimed it was “not necessarily our job to recover them”.
A moving documentary tonight follows Sam’s five-year fight for justice after police dropped her case.
She refused to give up and twisted Shahin was finally jailed for 31 years in January this year.
Sam, not her real name, said: “The main thing is he’s not off the streets, is no longer a hazard, is no longer a threat.
“So I’m safe and everyone else is safe from him too. I think that’s the biggest thing.”
Sam’s trauma began in April 2018 when she was travelling the world and ran out of money in London.
She posted a job advert looking for work "as a waitress" but within hours was sent a text offering her £500 a night as an escort.
