Rape victim urges others to come forward

“Any other child that is out there that has been abused or raped, I think they should really come forward and not let anyone else cut them down for what has happened to them. They’re the innocent ones. They’re not the sex offender.”

The emotional plea was made by a rape victim after her attacker was jailed for 15 years.

Sonya Stokes, aged 37, said her attacker, who was her uncle, needed to be named and shamed.
