In the court stood the now 14-year-old girl back and explained how the events took place as often as four times a week and sometimes two times a day. They began in april 2015, and stopped first in november of the same year. The many abuses led to the fact that she lost the desire to live.
I didn’t think I could cope with me through the day without an anxiety attack, she explained.
I did not feel that I had a voice.
