SHE is one of 13 victims. For her, the terror of what happened in the 1980s has been amplified in the last fortnight.
Andrew Barlow - formerly Andrew Longmire - the man who raped her and a dozen others, was making a new bid for freedom.
Her carefree life was shattered by Barlow one day in 1987 as she lay in bed in her terrace home.
She was in her mid-20s. "It was in the morning, about 7.30, 8am. I was asleep. I felt something sharp on my neck.
"He broke a window at the back... the pantry window. I hadn't heard that. I had been told he had been watching me. He broke in, I did not hear him coming up the stairs. I felt the sharpness to my neck, and woke up to these eyes.
At first, he said 'have you got any money?! There was some on the dressing table, so I said 'yes, over there, don't hit me. Then he did what he did, with the knife at my throat, and he put a pillow over my face.
"It felt like he was in the house for hours. I just remember his eyes.
"He had a black scarf or a balaclava on and the old-fashioned light khaki green jacket. I stayed there for a few minutes. I didn't know what to do.
"What happened to me, I see daily."
