The terrified schoolgirl, who became embroiled in the grimy world drug dealing, was recovering at home after escaping their evil clutches.

Jack said: “They’re treating her case as child grooming and according to her evidence they’re applying to arrest two of the men from the gang for rape.”
Tiffany, who wanted to write a letter to Evie, was shocked by what she heard.
Continuing to reveal what he had discovered, Jack said: “She gave the police a statement saying she was told if she got more girls involved it would take the pressure off her.”
Dumbstruck Tiff shook her head as she insisted that her friend would never do that to her or anyone else.
Jack admitted: “I’m not saying it’s her fault. You’ve both even victims here. But she’s been using you Tiffany.”
Refusing to believe Jack, Tiffany asked if Sonia and Whitney had put him up to it.
Looking down at the injuries on her arm, Jack said: “I know they hurt you. I saw the bruises on your wrist. Did anything like this happen to you Tiff?”
Defiant Tiffany outright denied that anything had happened - but revealed the heartbreaking truth later on.
She confessed: “What you asked me earlier. It happened to me too.”
Jack was stunned into silence as he struggled to comprehend the bombshell.
EastEnders viewers took to Twitter after watching the shocking scenes.
One viewer said: "OMG so Tiffany was also raped seriously?"
"Poor Tiff," added another.
A third said: "Omg! What a twist! This storyline with Tiffany gets better and better!"
