She was exploited and abused by powerful men.. it's wrong that she went to prison

Seymour Platt hopes it could be just weeks before the Criminal Case Review Commission refers her conviction to the Court of Appeal, after a long battle.

The 51-year-old said a 200-page dossier will overturn the conviction and she will be posthumously cleared.

Christine, who died in 2017 aged 75, was 19 when she had an affair with war minister John Profumo and helped topple the Tory Government in the most infamous political sex scandal ever.

Christine was jailed for nine months in December 1963 in an unrelated court case, but her family claim the conviction was designed to discredit her over the Profumo scandal.

FEAR

Christine had been attacked by stalker Aloysius "Lucky" Gordon in April that year. But he successfully appealed after it was found she had told jurors two witnesses to the assault were not there.

Seymour's legal team, led by world-renowned human rights barrister Felicity Gerry, insist the lie was irrelevant as Gordon's trial had been told "there was no doubt the assault took place" and Christine lived her life in fear of him.

She had also allegedly been put under pressure by the two witnesses, who later admitted they had seen the attack.

Seymour, who has vowed to clear Christine's name, said: "It's wrong that she went to prison, she was exploited and abused by powerful men.

"I want to fulfill a promise to tell the truth about her life."
