this is her story

I come away with Arron to Antalya, turkey on the 02/05/2025 and was due to come home on the 07/05/2025.
On the 06/05/2025 after his teeth was fitted we had a drink, I got drunk and I have somehow smashed the shower screen of the hotel room and damaged the room, worst mistake of my life. I can't change it but wow am I paying for it.

Me and Arron obviously saw the damage and left, we was in a taxi going to the airport to fly home cause I knew l'd done wrong and didn't know what to do. This was the stupidest thing we could have done. I take all responsibility for the damage and mistake I have made, but this has gone too far.

When I was in my taxi the hotel manager and 2 other cars chased my taxi down the motorway eventually blocking our taxi in and bringing us to a stop. luckily the taxi man wouldn't open his car for them to get to us as he could see we was in danger. We believe these people are part of the Turkish mafia. He rang the police for our safety as he could see these men was becoming aggressive even with him. I believe that taxi driver saved our life and we would be dead if they had managed to take us. l will forever thank the taxi driver for saving me.

Police came and took us to the police station, and put us in the cell and told me they are waiting for an English speaking translator. when he came I asked for a lawyer (because that's what we do back home) he told me there are no English speaking lawyers at this time as it was 2 am in the morning, and I must do the interview without one. We later found out this is illegal, and I was in fact entitled to a lawyer regardless of the time of day.

At first I refused my interview without a lawyer which they later described as resisting arrest, (bear in mind we was in the police station) which is how they’ve later been able to apply the travel ban.

Then the translator persuaded me and said here in turkey if you don't admit to what you have done and agree to pay, you will go to prison from the police station and so out of fear l agreed. I went into my interview. He wrote a statement in Turkish and told me to sign it, he didn’t even tell me what it said in English. I did what I thought was best - signed it and thought I'll ring family once I'm out of here. I had signed to say I will pay the hotel £15000 pound and he will drop the charges and get my travel ban lifted.
I was then sent from the police station cells to jail were I was for only 1 day but with hundreds of Turkish men. They then came for Me and Arron and took me to court, where no one spoke English except the translater from the police station. He was translating to me what the prosecution was saying line by line. After the prosecution was done, the translator told me that my best option right now is to agree to what they say, be apologetic and id be released, where id have to sign on at the police station every week till I had made payment. so that's what I did. I thought he was doing me a favour. All along he was in on this corruption, trying to get a cut of the £15000!

Once I was released, my family managed to get the £15000, i contacted the embassy who told me I need a lawyer to help me. I found a lawyer and payed him £2500, he promised he could get my ban lifted. He said paying the £15000 is absurd for the damage I had done, and to give a more reasonable offer to the judge. He advised that £3000 was enough to cover any damage, labour to fix, and the inconvenience I had made.
This has been declined, and I am now awaiting trial - This could take 1 year, and we have had no progression on getting me home to my little girl.

The £15000 my family was able to give me has halved since having to buy hotels, food and flights/boats I have tried to get on and was stopped.

i have been being stalked daily, sleeping with a chair under my door handle and rarely leaving the hotel because I fear for my life. I have had to call my family and say goodbye countless times, because I feel so unsafe and truthfully don’t believe il ever get back to them.

I have psychosis and depression, and had only packed medication for the 5 days I was planning on being here. I was refused my medication when in custody. For the first 2 weeks I had no option but to go cold turkey , and was constantly refused them in pharmacys. This was the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to go through - Luckily family have managed to send some over, and I have managed to find a pharmacy who lets me buy them without a prescription.

The lawyer has been to prosecution, judges, literally everything possible and all is failing. He has told me not to meet anybody and pay them as It is a completely unreasonable price based on the damage, and is all corruption. The translater was also in on it, wanting a cut of the £15000.


In turkey a travel ban cannot be legally given with a criminal damage charge, which is why they have added an extra FALSE charge of resisting arrest to keep me here. They admitted this mistake, yet make no efforts to change it.

I have been sat here for 6 weeks and suffered in silence not wanting the world to know my business, but it's getting too much and I am getting nowhere.

I know I did wrong and I regret being so stupid to have damaged the hotel, but I need to get home to my daughter. I feel so unsafe.

This accident could cost me my life.

I have spoken with the embassy who have basically said due to no longer being in prison, they can't help me have the ban removed.
The lawer is doing his best. At one point I wasn't sure it he was an actual lawyer, however embassy have confirmed he is reliable. I have no idea who is trustworthy and who is in on this.

The problem is I’m loosing hope of ever getting home to my baby girl and everything the lawyer has promised is all failing. i feel I have no way out. I've tried to get on a flight and I was stopped. I have tried the ferry, and I have tried a day trip to Greece.

I really need help I feel as though I'm stuck In the sea and can see the edge but can't get too it.
if anybody has had anything similar or knows anyone that can help me in any kind of way please please help me.

I'm so sorry for what I done and il never forgive myself for being away from my baby. l've offered them what I had this isn't enough. They can’t legally keep me here yet I’m still stuck.

I've lived here for 6 weeks now and I'm going to end up loosing my home. l don't want to give up but I really need some kind of connection. l've suffered in silence for too long I will forever appreciate any advice from anyone who knows me.

Now I’m living in cheap hotels miles away from the original hotel as I’m being followed by the owners everywhere I go and I feel so unsafe. It is so expensive to just get by until I hear news from the lawyer. It’s been 6 weeks.

I feel so ashamed writing this but my daughter needs me and this is my only hope. I feel like giving up but that's not me, yet I also feel so lucky to be alive as I know the hotel owners would have tortured/killed us until they got that 15 grand. I put all faith in my lawyer giving him my power of attorney but l'm getting nowhere. I'm loosing everything slowly, even my will to leave.

I just need to get home to my baby and my dog. I don't understand how such a stupid mistake has led me here. It is illegal for them to keep me here and I’ve no option but to start telling my story .

If someone has been through anything similar please let me know how you got home.



Georgia suffers with her mental health and this is clearly having serious effects on her. We need her home asap. She has never asked anyone for anything, but now I don’t think we have an option. If anyone who knows her wants to help out in any way we will all thank you forever.
