A mum of-two who was repeatedly raped when she was a child by a local shopkeeper has bravely opened up on the harrowing ordeal after the predator was sent to prison. The woman, who has been given the pseudonym Kate to protect her anonymity, started working a weekend job at her local shop when she was 13 to earn money.
But predator Nazir Ahmed, now 73, subjected her to horrific abuse almost every weekend for a year during her employment at West End Store on Grand Avenue, Cardiff. Kate was terrified to report the abuse after being told by Ahmed that no one would believe her and she spiralled into depression, coping using alcohol.
Wales Online reports that 25 years after the horrific assaults, Kate reported Ahmed to police. He was caged for 12 years at Cardiff Crown Court earlier this month.
