High Court President hears woman will need supports into the future after alleged 'horror story' of sexual abuse

A vulnerable young woman at the centre of a "horror story" of alleged sexual abuse by more than 12 males before she was taken into care aged 10 has told the president of the High Court she will need supports into the future.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly said the 18-year-old has told him in a letter she will need supports to help her into the future and to assist her in dealing with criminal proceedings brought against certain family members following her disclosures of alleged sexual abuse.
