The court heard the complainant, Ms Elizabeth Williams (nee Moran), wished to waive her right to anonymity in this case. In her victim impact report Ms Williams said she was so young at the time and the abuse happened so frequently that it was “a normal part of everyday life” for her. Ms Williams said she was never taken to a doctor or to the gardaí. Ms Williams said she had been badly affected by the abuse in her adult life and has been distanced from her family. He noted Moran was a good husband.
