Abuse victim to sue gardaí for 'ignoring complaints'

A Dublin woman who claims she was beaten, raped and intimidated by her family for 36 years today won the right to take legal action against gardaí for ignoring her complaints.

The woman, who claims the abuse began when she was six years old, said officers at a Dublin Garda station told her she must have enjoyed the abuse as it took her seven years to first report it.
