Abuse victim stands over allegations against ex-garda

Cynthia Owen says that she stands over all the allegations she made against Frank Mullen and others regarding her abuse, according to a statement issued yesterday.

Ms Owen was responding to an article in yesterday’s Irish Examiner, in which Mr Mullen denied all of the allegations against him, and said that the affair has had a devastating impact on him and his family.

Ms Owen has alleged that Mr Mullen was a member of a paedophile ring in Dalkey, Co Dublin, to which she was hired out as a child by her parents.
