Paedophile gang victim reveals how she was groomed and abused by vile mum, stepbrother and stepdad as child
Victim Dana Fowley has told how her rapist stepbrother groomed her as a child
SEX gang victim Dana Fowley has told how her rapist stepbrother treated her like his girlfriend.
Dana said vile Billy King, 52, groomed her as a child by taking her for rides in his car and buying her cigarettes.
Horrifically, the abuse was separate to the attacks she faced at the hands of a paedophile gang orchestrated by her mum Caroline Dunsmore and King’s dad Billy King Sr.
Brave Dana, 35, revealed she’d had no choice but to let King jnr rape her - because it took her away from the torture she was enduring at home where she was blindfolded and raped almost every day by a string of different men.
Dana, 35, of Saughton, Edinburgh, said: “Young Billy would treat me better, like an adult. Compared to what I was getting at home it was better — he was at least nice to me. At the time it seemed like a better option.
“He’d treat me like his girlfriend. He’d drive me places and buy me cigarettes and things to eat. Then one day he started touching me.
“I’d just started to think that kind of behaviour was normal. I kind of accepted it. It was happening all the time, wherever I went.”
This week King Jr was convicted at the High Court in Edinburgh of raping Dana and forcing another young girl to perform a sex act on him and will be sentenced next month.
Dana was preyed on as a child by beasts including mum Caroline Dunsmore and King Sr.
Victim Dana - who waived her right to anonymity - added: “My mum, Billy and others had been abusing me for years since I was five when young Billy came back from the Navy.
“He started hanging around a lot and taking me out in his car. I was 12 at the time and he was 29.
“I’m sure my mum and Billy snr realised what was happening. But how could they say anything?
“There was no one I could tell. There was no point telling my mum considering what they were doing to me at home, so it just continued.
“A few people found out and he told them it was consensual. How can a 29 year old man sleeping with a 12 year old girl be consensual?”
Dana, now a mum-of-three, reported King jnr to cops in 1997 but he was never charged because of a lack of evidence.
But this week he was finally convicted of raping Dana and forcing another young girl to perform a sex act on him after a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.
Dana, of Edinburgh, Scotland, said: “It’s another victory - and it’s a relief to know another dangerous sex offender is behind bars.
“I reported him 19 years ago but at the time it was my word against his. It was only when the other girl came forward to say he’d done the same thing to her were they able to get him.
“There was a point in my life where I thought he’d walked away free. He’s been walking about like nothing ever happened.
“But now I feel like I can finally close this chapter.”
Evil Dunsmore was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2007 for the role she played in abusing Dana but she was released last year. King snr died before he could face justice.
Two other men charged with raping Dana walked free after Dunsmore changed her evidence during their trial.
