Coronation Street: Sarah finds Bethany at grooming party
While attending a party with boyfriend Gary Windass (played by Mikey North), Sarah received a call from her brother David (Jack P Shepherd) informing her Bethany (Lucy Fallon) was in danger.
She rushed to Nathan's flat (Chris Harper) where she came face-to-face with the youngster as she emerged from a bedroom.
The school girl could be seen clutching her dress to her chest and holding her shoes in her hand as tears rolled down her face and her mascara was smudged across her face.
Sarah (Tina O'Brien) was visibly shaken as she realised her daughter had been raped by the three men who had left the room before her as she cried: "Oh my baby, what have they done to you?"
