Charlie Webster: BBC documentary Nowhere to Run reflects on abuse of Sky Sports star

Charlie Webster’s documentary Nowhere To Run: Abused By Our Coach has sent shockwaves through the sport as the TV presenter spoke about how both she and her former teammates in Sheffield were abused by their coach. But she hopes it will lead to changes that will help protect future generations of athletes. The sports presenter wants to see the creation of a new database for coaches that is shared across all sports, together with a Government review of the criminal record and intelligence checking system. In addition, she wants to see a new education resource for young athletes where good and bad coaching practices are highlighted. “If you’ve been abused, you don’t have to carry it by yourself or think you’re a bad person,” she says. “I want to show people they’re not on their own.” Webster, 38, tracked down her teammates from the running club she was in as a teenager more than 20 years ago. She had been abused by her coach and after not seeing her old friends for years she discovered some of them had been abused by the same man too. “I had no idea if anyone would want to talk to me,” she says. “It was very anxiety-provoking. It triggered a lot of the emotion I felt when I was younger.” The coach, Paul North, was sentenced to 10 years in jail after being found guilty of several counts of indecent assault and one count of rape and he was placed on the sex offenders’ register. When Webster began to dig into the history she discovered one of her old teammates had reported him. In the documentary, Webster explains how North arranged “private training sessions” before sexually abusing her during massage sessions her. Webster remained silent about the abuse for 20 years and was too ashamed to speak out. “That blame and guilt dominated me, and left me with low self-esteem, struggling in relationships, struggling with trust,” she says. “I felt ashamed and isolated and sank into depression. I always felt I’d be judged like I was broken and people would immediately think, ‘she’s a bit messed up,’ so I held it in. “Throughout my career, I tried to be what I thought I should be – a smiley, confident person – but inside there was a part of me which didn’t like myself. You can’t live your life like that because it’s exhausting, it’s chaotic and it’s damaging.”
