Rape victim: I have to take ownership of my own life

Niamh Ní Dhomhnaill said the ordeal at the hands of her Norwegian ex-boyfriend, Magnus Meyer Hustveit, had taught her the “power of love and the power of trusting in people”.
Ms Ní Dhomhnaill said: “I have let new people into my life. In the middle of all this I was able — although it was very difficult — to start a new relationship. I remember making a choice that I can’t let the actions of one person mar every other experience I have from here on out. I have to take ownership over this, I have to take responsibility and not become someone who is suspicious and does not talk to new people and thinks that everyone is out to get them.
