I'm sure she went in without an escort or bodyguard because she wanted to get "the real story" from the squatters, and thought that if a bodyguard or other non-squatter male who could handle himself was present, they might suspect that he was with the police or immigration service and that would compromise their willingness to speak freely to her.
In reality, they lied to her anyway. And then they gangraped her.
She has a story now if she wants to tell it.
