Abuse victim: I was cornered in cattle shed

A woman who was sexually abused by her father nearly every day for 10 years said she felt like an animal the day her father cornered her in a shed and tried to have sex with her.

Her 50-year-old father has since been diagnosed a paedophile by a psychiatrist. The Central Criminal Court heard that he began abusing his daughter when she was five years old.

The now 20-year-old first disclosed the abuse to her school chaplain when she was 17.
