Orphan's life 'haunted by abuser'

An eight-year-old orphan was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a voluntary worker and yesterday the victim said his adult life was haunted by his abuser.

"He controlled my life from the age of eight, he is still controlling my life, it will always be with me in my head," the victim said yesterday after the paedophile abuser got a two-year jail sentence to commence when another six-year sentence ends in May 2006.
