Fixed the broken link above.
It has emerged his victim was told that an emotional letter she wrote about the abuse would not be admissible in court because it was not written under oath.
In the letter the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said: "When I went to school a lot of people were very nasty to me but they didn't understand. I hated it when everyone came up to me saying I know how you are feeling.
I would never utter that to an abuse victim, but it is naivety.
"But they didn't know - no one does. I started to get very angry to the point where I wouldn't let anyone get close to me.
"At school I wouldn't let the teachers touch me. At home I would rarely give my mum a cuddle. I just stayed in my room with the door locked and cut myself."
Just hope she is offered counselling,
