A 45-year-old mother of two who has accused a nun of indecent assaults told a court yesterday of separate incidents of child sexual abuse by men.

The woman told the jury of seven women and five men that 18 years after the assaults by the nun in 1976 and 1977 she was treated in a hospital psychiatric unit in 1995.

She also attended an abuse and rape crisis centre.
