Sickening bathroom attack ,Shunned by most of her family & Rapist sibling finally jailed.
Karina Townsley, 30,
Manchester
Hearing my name called, I wandered into my brother Andrew’s bedroom.
‘Hey, Kar,’ he said. ‘Can you give me a hand?’
Andrew was 13– four years older than me. We had different dads, but both lived with our mum and two sisters.
‘OK,’ I said.
Sitting on his bed, Andrew asked me to pop his zits.
Yuck!
Being the youngest, I always did as he said. But my big brother gave me the creeps. His dingy teenage bedroom smelled musty, with a tinge of cannabis. I hated being alone with him.
As I grew up, he’d ask intrusive questions about who I was dating, acted possessive.
One afternoon in summer 2001, aged 14, I arrived home as Mum was going out.
‘Who’s home?’ I asked her.
‘Andrew’s in his room with his girlfriend,’ she said.
Too busy to bother me, I thought.
So I undressed, wrapped a towel around myself and padded to the bathroom.
Only, the door didn’t lock properly. And,before I could get in the shower, Andrew came in, closing the door.
I froze, my heart thumping.
‘What are you doing?’ I croaked.
‘Shush,’ he said, creeping closer.
