Samantha Morton was sexually abused as teenager in Nottingham's children home

Samantha Morton has recently revealed that she was sexually harmed as a teenager in Nottingham's children home by two residential care workers.

According to the Guardian, the 37-year-old actress said that she was 13 when she had reported the abuse, but there was no support, no offer of counselling, no wanting to delve deeper, the BBC reported.

Morton had spoken out after revelations of abuse in Rotherham and amid an inquiry into allegations of abuse in Nottingham. She also revealed that she had been abused at the Red Tiles home, in Bulwell, Nottingham.

The 'Decoding Annie Parker' actress has called for investigations to be launched in other towns and cities.

However, Nottinghamshire Police, which was carrying out an historic child abuse investigation into allegations going back several decades at a number of homes, said there was no record of Morton ever making a complaint to the force.

Steve Edwards, service director for children's social care, said that to fully investigate 'The Messenger' actress' concerns they are working closely with Nottinghamshire Police and Nottingham City Council.
