The older victim, now aged 19, said she was treated like “a princess by day and abused by night”, the court heard. At the man's sentence hearing today the court heard the girls were living with their mother and younger siblings in the UK. The trial heard the man was sexually abusing the older girl at this stage, but not the younger girl. This was due to a notification in the system from UK social services, the court heard. Shortly after entering care, the girls disclosed the abuse to their foster parents, who are extremely experienced and caring, the court heard.
