Teen wrote letter to mother outlining abuse by father, court hears

A teenager has claimed at the Central Criminal Court that she wrote a letter to her mother telling how her father had sexually abused her for over ten years but then didn't give it to her.

The now 19-year-old complainant said that in the letter she also asked her mother to leave her father and bring her then 10-year-old brother with her so that "he would be safe".
